Troops War
Japanese War Fan
Types of war fan
Gunsen (?) were folding fans used by the average warriors to cool themselves off. They were made of bronze, brass or a similar metal for the inner spokes, and often used iron for the outer spokes, making them lightweight but strong. Warriors would hang their fans from a variety of places, most typically from the belt or the breastplate, though the latter often impeded the use of a sword or a bow.
Saihai (?) were tasseled signalling fans which would be used by a commander to signal troop movements.
Tessen (?) were folding fans with outer spokes made of iron which were designed to look like normal, harmless folding fans or solid clubs shaped to look like a closed fan. Samurai could take these to places where swords or other overt weapons were not allowed, and some swordsmanship schools included training in the use of the tessen as a weapon. The tessen was also used for fending off arrows and darts, as a throwing weapon, and as an aid in swimming.
Uchiwa (?) were large iron fans, sometimes built on a wooden core, which were carried by high-ranking officers. They were used to ward off arrows, as a sunshade, and to signal to troops.
War fans in history and folklore
One particularly famous legend involving war fans concerns a direct confrontation between Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin at the fourth battle of Kawanakajima in 1561. Kenshin burst into Shingen's command tent on horseback, having broken through his entire army, and attacked; his sword was deflected by Shingen's war fan. It is not clear whether Shingen parried with a tessen, a dansen uchiwa, or some other form of fan. Nevertheless, it was quite rare for commanders to fight directly, and especially for a general to defend himself so effectively when taken so off-guard.
Minamoto no Yoshitsune is said to have defeated the great warrior monk Sait Musashib Benkei with a tessen.
Araki Murashige is said to have used a tessen to save his life when the great warlord Oda Nobunaga sought to assassinate him. Araki was invited before Nobunaga, and was stripped of his swords at the entrance to the mansion, as was customary. When he performed the customary bowing at the threshold, Nobunaga intended to have the room's sliding doors slammed shut onto Araki's neck, killing him. However, Araki supposedly placed his tessen in the grooves in the floor, blocking the doors from closing.
The Yagy clan, sword instructors to the Tokugawa shoguns, included tessenjutsu in their swordschool, the Yagy Shinkage-ry.
War fans outside Japan
Fans are also used for offensive and defensive purposes in the Chinese and Korean martial arts. They are called "" (ti shn, literally "steel fan") in Chinese, and "" (buchae) in Korean.

What would happen if we stopped war on terror and sent our troops home?
I'm debating on wether or not we should sent our troops home and stop our war on terror. I think it would be a bad idea if we sent our troops home but I need help on ideas why it would be bad and what would happen to America. thank you.
We did not start this war, so we cannot stop the war except my defeating those who wish us harm. The Islamist have been attacking us since 1974. It took until 2001 (remember that sunny day is September when the West stood stunned) for us to realize that they did not care about how we wanted to get along or that we think the mass murder of civilians is wrong. While we stood shocked by the horror, Muslims across the globe cheered, not just in Afghanistan, Iran, Syria and Iraq but also in London and Paris. I think those Muslims living in the U.S. realized the dangers of drawing too much attention in the direct aftermath of those attacks but that emotion did not last. The Muslim Extremist want to kill you or convert you. If we pull our troops back to Western Europe and the U.S. mainland, they will still want to kill us or convert us. They are still attacking us here in the U.S., attempting to kill us or planning how they can kill us. Right now it is easier for them to fight our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. If we pull those troops back, it will be easier to kill our civilians at work in New York City, children at school in Peoria or you at the local mall. You do not leave a rapid dog snarling in a cage, you put it down because it is too dangerous. Our enemies continue to tell us what they want to do, they show us that they will do it and the American public keeps acting like they are only bluffing. They attack a school in Russia and gun down school children...oh that is in Russia. They hack the heads off anyone they can get their hands on in Iraq...oh that is in Iraq. They gun down unarmed soldiers in Little Rock, AR. and Ft. Hood, TX...oh that is because they can? Pulling back will bringing more of the fight into our own neighborhoods and that is really not that good of an idea...not in my thinking.
