the pacific

the answer to the worksheet question: can either side claim moral superiority?
my answer to that is yes. i think the US can. When everyone was dehydrated and consumed with thirst, the brotherhood in the marines really stood out as they passed around one jug of water. the Japanese poisoned the water, which i suppose we would have too in the situation. On the other hand i saw no merciful action by the japanese so i say US win.

Valkarie

This was acually a very good movie. most people wouldnt think so because there wasnt enough fighting but i thought it was interesting how they planned to overthrow Hitler. It was literally like there was a shield around Hitler. there were so many attempts to kill him and he still lived! i think they said 15 or 16 attempts? how is that possible!? frustating how close they got but still, a good movie.

the field trip

We went to the Holocaust museum. it was really awesome and WORTH THE MONEY even though it really wasnt that expensive. i really liked the hall of rememberance because it looked really cared for and sentimental. the room was super tall and had the names of all accounted for people that died in the Holocaust. also the speaker (survivor) had a great story, very ground breaking. i learned alot deffinatly best field trip of the year.

my thoughts on Nazi Eugenics

i think this was crazy. they pulled the randomest ideas out of nowhere and tested it on mentally challenged and Jewish people. this is sick and disgusting. they were just trying to think of different ways to to torture the innocent in my mind. i think they only way they made it possible was by saying it was "research".

russian invasion

The nazis had this one in the bad! they would have completed the mission had hilter been less careless. if the won this battle they would have gone to moscow, then they could have had all the oil. this would have brought there airforce back where they would have taken over britian. they mite have won the war had they won this battle.

Germany vs Russia

When Germany attacked Russia i thought for sure they were going to win but somehow Hitler managed to mess that up! they had a huge head start completely obliterating Russia's territory, then the supplies got over reached and that ruined them. it seems like the downfall to most of these big battles are the leaders not listening to their military advisors. GET IN CHECK HITLER.

in regards to the Guadalcanal

can either side claim moral superiority? no, starting with the japs, for one the japs decapitated soldiers leaving bloody messing all over. thats disgusting and defiantly forfeits any attempt for neutral karma. as for us soldiers, we defiantly couldn't either because we were having fun with that one jap officer by shooting at him and making him run around. it was almost torture.

the guadalcanal

I think its interesting the tactics used in the first battle we saw. its similar to WW1 in the fact that theres two sides shooting at each other. in this case the river was "no mans land" and from what i saw tradition hadn't changed, when people tried to cross to flank they were gunned down. then i saw the mortar shots. attrition anybody?

Japanese interment camps

do i think these were fair? no, i honestly don't. the reason we had these was because we suspected spies among us from japan. This is a ridiculous assumption. i think it just being racist. we can compare this to 9/11. The bombers of the world trade center just happened to be Arab so now everyone assumes every Arab is a terrorist. I don't think locking them away in the middle of nowhere was very fair. especially because maybe a handful of them were actually spies, the rest being civilians.

Rise of the Japs

I think that the reason the japs came into huge power was because of america itself. we opened up ports in japan and industrialized them, creating weapons. This will pose a very large threat because now, they went from Samaria swords to Japanese commandos. This will trigger the making of kamakazi planes which, simply put, are suicide bombers. we brought it on ourselves.
