Having just done a discussion on WW2 and the part the allies played, one person pointed out the contribution the Russians made - they quoted the numbers on each side and it appears the Russians gave many, many more lives than the western allies.However, some people have suggested that this credits the Soviets as the main protaganists, the main victors.
I hypothesis that the poor equiptment, training, conditions and organisation caused these deaths, and as Russia has such a huge populations, these men were fodder to the machine guns, until they got a bit better equipt. USA and UK on the other hand, were never invaded, and therefore used our superior resources to strategically strike. This I believe means that although Russia got to Berlin faster, the bombing by the UK and USA meant it was a reasonably easier route. So I still believe you can accredate the spoils equally probably weighted in favour of the UK and USA.

Do you also think that because of this it has detered another event or worse?

That includes believing in the "Single Bullet Theory". Without the single bullet theory, there had to be more than one shooter involved. Kennedy and Connally were hit at the same time.

And you must believe Jack Ruby was a nut. And Oswald was obsessed with communism.

I'm really confused. Enlighten me. I didn't even know there was a Japanese zodiac. I'm guessing that's how it happened. Btw, I'm talking about the 12 animals.

Recently visited Ka Lea, on the island of Hawaii. It is the southern most point in the United States. It is obvious that at one point there was a rather substantial community there. I'm thinking it may have been a military installation of some kind. There weren't any Japanese internment camps in HI - that was my husband's thought. I've tried Google, but can't find anything.
