The pacific

I dont believe that either side can gain moral superiority in a battle like Guadalcanal. there is just too much loss of life to. Although in the end the men felt good about holding the island, there wasnt much in it for them. to the soldiers it was just a jungle where they lost a bunch of their friends. The battle especially wasnt a moral victory for the Japanese because they were slaughtered by the thousands by American machine gunners, and they couldnt hold the island. All in all the island was nothing but a strategical victory for the military.

What's up with the Facial hair

Ok so here is my question to all of you. Throughout history this is not the most common type of beard, and I think that you would agree. But why would two of the most creepy killers of all time have the same style beard. It is probably coincidence, but I just found it kind of funny. 

Big Military Experience

As we have been discussing the last couple weeks about how the Axis powers came to be, I noticed that each one has gained major battlefield experience that the Allies don't have in their time of peace. Germany fought in Germany testing out new tactics giving them the edge at the beginning of WWII with their Blitzkrieg attacks. Mussolini and Italy gained experience in North Africa, and finally the Japanese. They fought multiple wars in China and gained naval experience in the Pacific. All of these things put the Allies at a major disadvantage to start the war and it showed as the Allies were beaten early in the war.

DEJAVU?

So I feel like this week is just like the week we spent when Germany invaded France in World War One. Both times the germans destroyed the French and British, both times the French were caught off guard, both times they defended the wrong boarder, both times they were out maneuvered. It seems like Germany always manages to have the upper hand in the war but then they get stuck fighting a two front war and eventually lose. It appears that both wars began almost the exact same way. And not to mention the main countries are basically the same.  Didn't anybody learn anything from the first world war?
