I do not believe that the Vietnam War was successful for the United States. I believe that it was not successful because cost many American lives, unpopular war for public, and did not stop communism from spreading. Our involvement in Vietnam started during Kennedy’s presidency. At the beginning of his presidency, President Kennedy wanted to stop the spread of communism in Vietnam. With this intention, he increased the number of American military advisors in Vietnam. President Kennedy hoped that…

Approximately 10,000 warheads are in the military service, with the rest awaiting approval. United States and Russia still deploy more than 1,500 strategic warheads on several hundred bombers and missiles. There is considered to be…

strikes the man with the tire iron, coming at him “like a kamikaze” (79), when he shoots away from the corpse “like a torpedo” (80), and in the morning, when the boys meet the girl looking for Al, he grips the steering wheel “like the ejection lever of a flaming jet” (81) and they look at her “like war veterans” (81). Interestingly, the narrator describes himself as a kamikaze and a torpedo, both of which carry very negative connotations, following instances of wrongdoing on his behalf, but…

On December 7, 1941, it will be a day that will always be remembered as President Franklin Delano Roosevelt commemorated as “the date which will live in infamy”1. This was a day when the Japanese unexpectedly attacked the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. This was an attack that caused many American causalities, and American citizens really became furious. The hatred that filled the hearts of many Americans could be shown through President Roosevelt’s appeal to Congress to…

The Battle of Midway is often regarded as the “turning point in the Pacific” as well as the most decisive victory in the history of the United States Navy (USN). The United States had been planning for a war with Japan for years, but when the time came, Japan was second in priority to Germany. The Japanese leadership of Admiral Yamamoto, Commander of Japanese Combined Fleet, and Vice Admiral Nagumo, commanding officer of the carriers, wanted to take charge in the Pacific by putting all of their…

Also he gave out the information to other countries too and on top of that he…

Over this weekend, there was a daring attempt by 3 Japanese midget submarines to infiltrate the partly constructed anti-submarine boom net and enter Sydney Harbour. The submarines which consisted of 2 crew members per vessel entered the harbour under orders to sink allied war ships. As soon as the first submarine was sighted anti-submarine guns on the shore and naval units…

Comically enough, Wallis then thought of a brilliant idea in which he even stated seemed “childishly simple”. Though a torpedo would have worked perfect, the Germans had already put up a series of torpedo nets to ensure that was not possible. Instead, he took the idea of skipping a rock along a bed of water and decided to create -a bomb that was able to do the exact same. The development of this bouncing bomb…

extinct in the wild. All the red-tails available in fish stores today are commercially raised products of the aquarium trade industry. Red-tails black sharks of course bear no relation to sharks. Their name is purely descriptive. They have a black, torpedo shaped body with a profile reminiscent to that of a sharks. This includes a sharp triangular shaped dorsal fin. Their bright red caudal fin (tail) completes their visual appearance and name. As with any member of the carp family they are…
