War History Online

I joined Hive Media Group's Timera portfolio as a Writer in May 2021. In the over three years I've been with the company, I've performed various roles, including Editor and Content Specialist.

The primary website I contribute to is War History Online, which focuses on military events dating back from the Persian Gulf War. Other content posted to the site includes war- and military-related news, as well as other related content. 

Along with writing and editing, I aid in War History Online's SEO, syndication and social media strategy, to promote the site's growth on search engines and other platforms. I also contribute to in-house video, which can be found on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.

A full list of articles can be found on my author's page.

What many might not realize, however, is that Kubrick also directed a handful of war movies, all of which have gone on to become classics within the genre.

The Dark Legacy of the Carnage at Mỹ Lai and the Heroic Actions of Hugh Thompson Jr.

The Vietnam War saw the US military employ a number of controversial tactics in the name of protecting the American public. One of the worst incidents to occur during this time was the Mỹ Lai Massacre on March 16, 1968, which saw US Army personnel slaughter hundreds of innocent Vietnamese civilians. The death toll might have risen even higher, if it hadn’t been for the bravery of Chief Warrant Officer Hugh Thompson Jr. and his helicopter crew.
