Lewis grew up listening to war stories from the civil war and wanted more than anything to enlist in the military. After a brief attendance at Virginia Military Institute Puller dropped out of college to enlist in the Marine Corps.

guarding assignment to a more prominent mission focused on taking Palermo and his subsequent disregard for the change in Alexander’s orders. This obvious break in unity of command at best narrowly influenced one phase of the operation and at worst affected the outcome of the entire operation. In summary, the inability of key leaders to foster trustful relationships and to agree on common strategy resulted in mistrust and consternation over petty and small issues. A second mission command…

contribution of the women of America, whether on the farm or in the factory or in uniform, to D-Day was a sine qua non of the invasion effort” (Ambrose 489). Within a short time, women were serving in almost every area except frontline combat as they were assigned jobs in the military normally held by men which allowed more men to fight.

On the battlefield, British commanders were dismissive of U.S. fighting capabilities with Alexander eventually relegating the U.S. Seventh Army to a secondary, supporting role within…

The Qing Emperor didn’t like how much power she had, so he sent the Imperial Navy to defeat her. She won countless battles with many countries and destroyed the emperor 's navies. So instead of trying to kill her, the Emperor tried negotiating. He offered her what was probably the most generous pirate amnesty deal in history, but only if she stopped terrorizing the Southern Coast of China, she and all her men could go free without punishment, and they could keep all their stolen treasure.…
