16: Remembering the Battle of Iwo Jima
When Joe Rosenthal snapped the iconic photograph, Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima, he knew it was a special sight, but probably never imagined the lengths the snapshot would travel in history. It was his capturing of the Battle of Iwo Jima, during the Second World War that became one of the most well known depictions of the war. From this image, a hos
17: First Defeat Of The Axis Powers On Land
My vote for the first Axis defeat would be the Italian attack into southern France. Some very outnumbered, and demoralized, second line troops managed to stop Mussolini's legions cold. In the vast scheme of things, it did not matter, but it showed what could be done.
The battle of Britain was an ongoing battle even after the Greeks beat the Ital
18: Zap Thse Darn Mosquitos Where They Live
The word mosquito means "little fly" in Spanish and this little, irritating insect is a source of many deadly diseases throughout the world. There are about 3,000 breeds of mosquitoes with a population of about 100 trillion all over the globe. Although mosquitoes larvae are a chief source of food for some fish and the adults are food for birds and
19: The A-10 And Should The B-52 Be Retired For Good
The Air Force would be complete idiots to get rid of the A-10. Its triple redundancy flight control system has allowed many pilots to return to base, that would have otherwise ejected. This airframe should be updated, not disposed of. Give it a FLIR, and the appropriate GPS hardware.
The A-10A is getting some upgrades to what is referred to as t
20: Air Force Ammo Troops And Weapons Loader
Ammo troops are the grunts of the Air Force, bottom of the barrel right above security forces and right below Armament. I'm Armament, so I can't really say much. Just like to take my chance to rag on my rivals! Ammo is the greatest job in the Air Force. My best years were working on munitions, and I have done it all.
Yet, with out the ammo, the pl
21: Chill In the Palace Air After Global Warming Campaign
The melting Arctic and the environment have been top of Prince Albert of Monaco's agenda for the last year, but as he continues his campaign to highlight the environment as a top political issue, press reports suggest that two of his staff have left.
Will climate change be too hot an issue for some of his subjects too?
22: Will America Patrol Iraq in Tanks
Why doesn't America patrol Iraq in tanks? Canada had the same problem as USA regarding soldier deaths but now dominates in Afghanistan since we began patrol in tanks. The site of a column of tanks has totally belittled the Taliban and Iraq tactics they thought would work against Canada. Thankfully our Prime Minster is not a fool and therefore acted
23: The US Marine CorpsA Brief History Of The Marines
The original incarnation of the United States Marine Corps (USMC) was born in 1775 during the Continental Congress in a resolution sponsored by John Adams. The USMC fought diligently throughout the American revolution but, after the Treaty of Paris in April 1783, it was dissolved only to be reestablished in 1798.
Following this reestablishment,
24: The Top 10 Questions Ordinary Joes Should Think About Our Democracy
Do you believe the American political system - once the shining light of the world - is devolving into a national joke? A lot of the world believes this is true.
How can ordinary Joes make sense of the endless game of partisan ranting and empty promises? Do you really think you will be better (or worse) off just because your favorite party just
25: Global Warming
Global warming becomes a big issue in today’s media. If we read a news paper or watching news on TV you may read or hear about global warming , What is Global Warming? Global warming is the observed increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation. The prevailing scientific op
26: A Cheap Holiday in Other People s Misery catching up with Mordechai Vanunu in Israel
One of my favourite pieces of music is the Sex Pistols' classic 'Holidays in the Sun' - a song that begins with the line, 'a cheap holiday in other people's misery'. This would have made a fitting epitaph for my holiday in Israel, except that the $3000 air ticket meant that it wasn't exactly cheap.
I went to Israel full of apprehension. Just kno
27: Monaco Yachts Go A Shade Of Green For 2007 Show
Monaco is used to welcoming the world's wealthy, and the world's richest men and women will soon be visiting again for the superyacht show, a unique annual event in the yachting calendar.
While millionaires and billionaires sip champagne and ponder buying a yacht that would be beyond the reach of mere lottery winners, the organisers have successfu
28: Monte Carlo Launches Radical Plan To Cut Greenhouse Gas
Sustained campaigning by Prince Albert of Monaco to make fellow world leaders aware of environmental issues is being matched at home with a radical drive to make Monaco one of the leading environmentally friendly countries in the world.
The plan initiated by Prince Albert is already being implemented with resulting reduced carbon emissions...
29: Turning Your Kids Green
One of the great challenges I've noticed with trying to live a reasonably environmentally conscious life is teaching my children to do the same. Young children have very little sense of the future; for example, my daughter intends to be Rapunzel when she grows up.
However, they do possess a decided desire to please. Things don't always turn out
30: Patriotic People Recycle
There's no doubt about it: if you're a patriot, you should feel great about recycling.
Think about it. Recycling saves trillions of kilowatts of energy every year. It conserves our natural resources. It makes our country's air, water and soil cleaner by limiting pollution, and it stimulates our economy by creating new jobs.
Politicians and
