a.) General Pershing

Ever since the U.S. entered WW I in 1917, it had been sending divisions to fight in Europe in support of the major French or British units. However, later that year in 1917, President Woodrow Wilson selected General John J. Pershing to command and train The American Expeditionary Force (AEF).

In Europe, Pershing intended to maintain the independence of the AEF, however, he ended up integrating the army into Allied operations, a decision that helped to end the war with the Armistice of 11 November 1918, in which the Allies gained the victory.

atman means 'eternal self'. the atman refers to the real self beyond ego or false self. it is often referred to as 'spirit' or 'soul' and indicates our true self or essence which underlies our existence.

there are many interesting perspectives on the self in hinduism ranging from the self as eternal servant of god to the self as being identified with god. the understanding of the self as eternal supports the idea of reincarnation in that the same eternal being can inhabit temporary bodies.

the idea of atman entails the idea of the self as a spiritual rather than material being and thus there is a strong dimension of hinduism which emphasises detachment from the material world and promotes practices such as asceticism. thus it could be said that in this world, a spiritual being, the atman, has a human experience rather than a human being having a spiritual experience.
