Military - October 2006

A friend and I are doing research on the WWII military history of Formosa, which is today called Taiwan. As we know, Taiwan had been ceded to Japan in 1895, and so in the 1940's it was part of the Japanese Empire.

The US Congress issued a Declaration of War against Japan on Dec. 8, 1941. According to what an associate of ours read in a Japanese book, US bombing raids against targets in Formosa began on Oct. 12, 1944. However we don't have any independent verification of that date.

As to when US aerial/naval attacks against Formosa ended, of course everything was over by early Aug. 1945, but we don't have the exact date when the last attack on Formosa was carried out.

Does anyone know where we can get online access to full records of the US military activity against Formosa and the Pescadores during this WWII period? This is needed in conjunction to a research report we are writing.

I am new to the DoD Civillian workforce. I recently graduated with a business degree and got hired as an Item manager (program GS 7/9/11) on a major weapon system. I was asked to accompany The CG and four other bigwig civillians on a two day trip to observe training of the soldiers on my weapon system.

There are about 8 supervisors betwen him and myself and I am brand new. This is incredibly intimidating. Obviously I greatfully accepted, but what do I do now? What do I say? Do I wear a suit? Anyone have suggestions?

By the way, I just found out today (10/26) and the trip is Monday (10/30)

Also, feel free to post questions that you would find interesting to have answered by someone knowledgeble. If I ask him I'll post the answer here.

I wish to say in the deepest sadness & regret to Mothers, Fathers, Sisters, Brothers & relatives of those 96 innocent Americans who were killed in October 2006 in Iraq. I am Iranian and I have seen how our nation suffered during eight years war. However, as far as English is not my language and culture, I really do not how to express my sympathy toward the American and Iraqi victims. They all had rights to Live’ & Enjoy this ONCE EVER OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE. Many corrupt and oppressive politicians across the World they do not consider how much people suffering from their arrogant and high hand attitude in declaring WAR. The Twenty First Generation they hate WAR, as we see the highest numbers of oppositions around the World with War against Iraq. However, Bush’s evil mind creates it & continued up to this date.

SO please help me to declare our regret to those families:

Setting a timetable and getting out of Iraq instead of escalating hatred for America...then working on defense rather than offence to keep America safe.
OR
Struggle to get the Iraqi military and government working right even though it seems like they never will be functional...and in time making the insurgent situation even worse. But having an offensive strategy to catch terrorists while we wait.

Which is better?

Obviously this is not in regard to someone who does not make the physical or mental qualification, i.e. pass the PFT. But is in regard to secondary variables.

For example: corrective eyewear, previous injury (surgery for example), medications taken, etc.

If the reason for invading Iraq was honestly about overthowing a despot , then why have we never invaded Zimbabwe?? At least us Brits have recent historic links unlike Iraq

I know the translation, just asking if anyone else does because a lot of people refer to it without knowing what it means.
