As fascinating and intriguing the Midway had been in exposing the “barbarism” of ethnic cultures from around the world. The true manifestation of…

The Pearl Harbor attack led to a world war. Japan thought that getting rid of the U.S. Pacific Navy would help them expand southward into southeast asia. The attack hurt the Pacific Navy so bad they could not even attempt to try and stop Japan from going southward. A lot of people think that the U.S. did not try and fight back but they did. The U.S. was so unprepared and surprised that they did not have any defense ready to fight back. Three- quarters of the 780 anti-aircraft guns had no one…

The Battle of Midway is considered the turning point in the Pacific War. The Battle of Midway is the result of poor planning and inadequate training of the Japanese, as well as the courage and intelligence of the US forces. The Japanese should have won the battle, but the US did win the battle. It was thought that there is no way the Japanese can lose the battle, but during the battle there was no way that they can win the battle. Applications of the principles of war, especially objective,…

When compared to the previous game between these two sides, the Celtics-Nets matchup was fairly one-sided. The hosts went on a run in the very first quarter, never allowing Brooklyn to climb back into the game. After displaying some solid defensive effort in the Thursday’s game, the Nets went back to their old ways by allowing the Celtics to score 120 points. From the first possession of the game, it was obvious the Celtics came out ready to hustle. Atkinson’s team couldn’t get many open looks,…

green turf, it left heat, fumes coming off the CBC football field. A low humming noise creeped onto the field as the cars flew by on Highway forty. The students walked around the track after the Red Devil’s coach called a timeout midway thru the second half of the game. As one of the Cadets cruised down the field with his hair flying back behind his head the roar of the crowd sounded like a tornado siren. His fellow teammate screamed, “Here, here” while swinging his right arm above his head…
