Was the outcome of the Cuban missile crisis a victory for the USA or USSR? Could it have been a victory for both sides?
Or was it a stalemate?
Please no short 'The USA won' answers.
Thank you.

I saw in a book once that we only supplied Russia with 4% of all it wartime supplies thruough the lend lease act. Does anybody have and real numbers with Refrences. I dont want any of that "they couldnt have won the war without us crap" that is like saying we fought the Civil war just to end slavery.

do you need civilian recommendations (bosses, college professors, etc) or do I need to track down my old unit and former commanders?

I can join as an officer, but my friends tell me if you have a graduate degree, you should find a job instead. Also, I have dual citizenship and can join the Canadian army also.

Is it a good idea if you've already paid for your college degree yourself? Thanks

If the draft was re-instated, what are the current laws concerning how the Selective Service System would pick names?

What is the age group of people who can be drafted? I understand that during the Vietnam War, males younger than 18 or 26 and older had no chance of being drafted. Is this still true today?

what our country would do when finds itself surrounded by all sides? isn't IRAN suppose to be our enemy and don't we treat it as such? didn't we help Iraq mainly during Iran and Iraq war. do we expect them to trust us while we have sorrounded them? do we expect them to roll a red persian carpet for us too? please try to answer as many questions as you can!

I've been on Military.com and have some asked questions just as everyone, some people can say smart things just like here on Yahoo Answers its no different. When I respond back and say something like "dont ridicule me" or something to that affect. Im always getting the "Oh if you cant' take that you won't last long in the Army" and stuff like that. Its to me just a simple matter of respecting one another no?? Does the Army ridicule you to make you stronger mentally?? Or just cause someone higher than you is able to? Whats the deal on that? Im starting to get discouraged I don't know....

how come in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, a soldier on the front who loses a leg will get approximately £50,000 if they lose a leg, and about £250,000 if they lose both arms and legs, and this is supposed to be the highest injury payout, how come a clerk who got RSI from typing and her layer said she could never get another job i was that bad (like the quadruple amputee could) got almost £500,000 more than double for loosing all limbs. Can anyone see the fairness in that?

My Dad is going to be 55. He served his country, from the age of 17, for 39 years. He is a disabled veteran.

He is very humble and would hate any praise....but he retains his medals, his "shadow box" and his photo albums. Should I oraganize a reuninon for him? I love and respect him.

I guess I should direct this at other vets.

may be that is really our intension and if so we are doing a great job of that! we make a war like that and then leave Iraq and keep selling weapons to both sides and keep a malnitrition war till they are all weak and we will then make money repairing their infrastructure. we did that when we gave a green light to saddam to attack iran. we sold weapon to both sides till they both weakened and we assured hezbollah with a complete control of the country. remember that war? no way we stay and support Iraq since then we have to ally with Iran!

There are talks about exiting Iraq and consequences of exiting. Among those consequences is ethnic cleansing and total Iraqi government break down. If the US retreats could another country enter Iraq and use the ethnic cleansing and violence as an excuse for them to enter the now extremely vulnerable Iraq and severly cripple them with the type of bombing and force that usually opens most wars?

Will this allow them to set up their own backed government and laws the way the US is currently trying to do in Iraq and secure their rights to the oil reserves?

This might be a little long, but I appreciate any help given. I've been having trouble with Tricare Prime, but the main problem is right now is that they billed my husband and I $170 for an eye exam off base for my husband. In the Tricare Prime handbook it states that Active Duty and Active Duty family member can get 1 free eye exam a year. I got my exam and the place I went to off base, I asked them if my husband was allowed to get one free exam as well. And they told me yes. So my husband got an eye exam, and then a week later Tricare bills us for $170 stating that my husband is not allowed to be going off base. I did not kow this and I am new to all this military stuff, but in the handbook it doesn't say anywhere that an active duty service member cannot go off base. Well I just need some help and advice, I appreciate it. Thanks.

Before another one of our sons or daughters go off to die in Iraq, am I wrong in thinking that perhaps someone who supports that war as much as Mitt Romney does might want to ask his sons why they aren't serving?

According to Mr. Romney, "My sons are serving their country by helping to elect me to office!"

The biggest nuke I can think of is the Tsar Bomba dropped by the Soviet Union (50 mt). Apparently it could have been scaled up to 100 mt if only it could fit on the bomber plane.

What do you think a 100 mt warhead could do?

THE Pentagon has claimed that five terror suspects whom Britain wants back from Guantanamo Bay have close ties to some of Al-Qaeda’s most high-ranking leaders.

Only days after Gordon Brown took the surprise decision to call for their release, a senior American official this weekend disclosed previously classified evidence to show that the men are “extremely dangerous individuals”.

Sandra Hodgkinson, who is in charge of US detention policy, warned that the suspects may seek to rejoin the war on terror and could pose a risk to the UK if not kept under close scrutiny.
