I'm not really sure. I just remember news articles about how there were always skirmishes etc but i have no idea. I'm assuming your right with the timing...possibly meant to stall talks or something similar.

I remember reading an article in National Geographic where they went along with a South Korean patrol along the DMZ and got shot at...Seems like this happens a lot, as the previous posts pointed out. Most likely a journalist with nothing to write about...

it was Lt. Gen Simonds but it was the falaise pocket, operation totalise?

It was Lt. Gen Guy Simonds and the battle of the sheldt. (?)

I've applied to be a pilot recently. Just asking something that popped up on this thread in a side note. A few posts mentioned applicants with previous flight experience or even pilots licences prior to applying. My question is does someone with very limited flight experience (I did the glider...

I just watched Sicko last night and I have to say it was a good movie. His others were ok, a lot of just jumping on the anti-Bush wagon and so on. However if this new movie, given his "selective editing" is even 1% true, then Americans are getting the short end from their insurance companies. I...

A great read, thank you for writing it.

One question I've wondered about before, and hopefully no one else has posted it here, is what if Nazi ideology hadn't been racist? What if they had accepted the conquered peoples as equals, but as part of Germany once conquered? If they hadn't been so iron handed and evil, would they have found...

I'm not familiar with all the details of the case, or the life and times of Conrad Black. That being said, I don't know why some here want to him "hang" more then they want people like Robert Pickton or murderers etc sent away. Funny I think, that we care more about the loss of money to people...

I'm pretty sure she can use the computer better, seeing as when i was 3 and 1/2 my spelling and or counting skills were mediocre...also, if you watch someone young play sim city or a game with a lot of clicking, they are terrible at it! So, my point is: how idiotic is this woman?

My goodness! Jack Layton IS the Video Professor! He gurantees we'll be satisfied with his CD's or he'll send us 10$!  I have to say though, in all seriousness, that I firmly believe this is a conspiracy...The learning CD's actually send out brainwashing NDP messages well you learn to use your...

It's the NDP's ONLY issue. No one paid attention to them until the garbage they're spewing came out.

I'll check it out, thanks.

It seems that in the distant future something like the Canberra class would be useful for Canadian purposes...but as was also said the navy seems to have a lot to do already... Thanks for the info

Just a silly question from someone who has no idea about naval matters...is there even a slight chance that the Navy could get a carrier? I don't mean a huge nuclear one or anything but something like the British light carriers with a squadron of harriers or some similar aircraft? I know it...

:D sweet. i didn't mean that as a personal jab,  when i re-read it just now it does come across as one...i just thought it was a good book and wikipedia is all i have access to at work...plus some articles there are well written. anyhow... Nice list too...where did you find Zhukov's book?

3rd Herd: your right in that it was definitely a combined effort...but the Russians did more than just take out Army Group Center. You mention Normandy and the Ardennes, all important battles...but they occurred in 1944...who was continually fighting, other then the British in north Africa? The...

My only point was to show that relative to the size of the mission it's still significant...consider the waters muddy  :P...

Yeah the numbers aren't perfect but they help the point, as you said.

United 93: You should go back to school, as was pointed out, the Soviet Union crushed the German army. As for your question in regards to numbers vs the mission: You said: Numbers Say: so that's 0.11 or 11% of all soldiers serving were killed in action. and that is 0.003821818 or 0.38% were...
