The building of the bomb to detonate on Japan is a point of much controversy. Many claim that America will unjustly murder…

Unfortunately, the American armies “relentless offensive had cost many casualties and had been mounted at an exhausting pace.” However, it should be pointed out that although the American army was more aggressive for most of Operation Husky they suffered “2,237 killed and 6,544 wounded and captured” compared to the British “12,843 casualties, including 2,721 dead.” This shows that while the breakdown in cooperation might have caused more casualties it didn’t cause a bloodbath. It could also be…

Where the argument fails is that it only establishes why intimidating the USSR was Truman’s objective, but does not discredit all the other reasons the leaders of the time claim they had for using the nuclear bomb, and it is completely logical and feasible that the dropping of the bomb had several motivators. Pavlik’s argument that surrender was imminent is backed up by three main points, the first of which is that the Japanese had already attempted to negotiate peace with Roosevelt on terms…

During World War II, the invasion of Germany caused an evacuation of the British and French soldiers at Dunkirk, France. The evacuation of Dunkirk was also known as “Operation Dynamo”. The Operation Dynamo lasted nine days from May 26, 1940 to June 4, 1940.

The battle of Dunkirk, France was a defeat for the British…

War is war, people are gonna die we just have to accept that. If we are too strict on when and how our soldiers fight how would our soldiers be able to fight. It would be a bunch of our…

People should have the right to rescue services when they put themselves at risk because when taking a risk you need a backup in case something goes wrong, if your human, you will mess up more than once, especially in mountaineering, and both the climber and the rescuer might get a chance to redeem themselves (the climbers get another shot at the mountain, and the rescuer could have…
