"War of The Century" 12 of 20

Before invading Poland, Germany signed the Nazi-Soviet Nonaggression Pact, securing the eastern border of Germany. Limited trade, mostly on the part of the Russians, was part of the agreement. But everyone involved knew that it was a measure on both sides to buy time. Ideologically, both nations despised the other. Hitler had devoted much of Mein Kampf to his believe in the menace of Communism. Nazism was against everything Communism stood for.

Part of the operational planning of the German high command involved a possible invasion of the Soviet Union. On July 21, a month after the fall of France, Hitler summoned Generalfeldmarshal Walther von Brauchitsch and instructed him to plan for an invasion of the Soviet Union

We discuss death in statistics; Merely Numbers. We must remember than each was a human being. Each had people who loved him or her. Each had talents, moods, senses of humor. Some played the piano. Some were excellent cooks. Each had hopes and dreams. Each seeked family and happiness and had beliefs, feelings, fears and emotions. Let's never reduce human beings to mere "numbers". Are YOU just a number?

I was stupid..i joined the army thinking i was to fight terrorists..all I learned was that I was to be a "red coat" ...young men with a few AK rounds and a rocket or 2 taking pot shots at tanks and bunkers is hardly a threat to the usa..its a natural responds to an occupation.and to declare them terrorists because they seek revenge for the killing of a family member or a friend is false...fact is.terrorism is funded by our own god damn" leaders".The real threat is domestic,not foreign.

@constipatedart

What was your point with this post?

@MrShocktrupr as lupe says

"Now you can say it aint our fault if we never heard it

But if we know better than we probably deserve it"

We see European powers carving up the middle east to preserve their imperial interests and ethnic cleansing in palestine but we remain silent.

When you see rape happening and you don't stop it, aren't you a co conspirator?

Muslims actually thought well of America in the 60s. Then Israel became a Cold War ally and our relations have never been the same.

@Azamspazam91 Just saying that I agree with what you said, but protesting should not involve either A. The killing of civilians, or B. The killing of western soldiers

@SoF333 I don't think that the connection was intentional in Apocolypse Now. And if so, so what? It's better known from being from Apocolypse Now then anything else: I've heard of American tank crews playing it when their tanks crossed the border into Iraq, and American Black Hawk pilots play it when they're conducting airborne operations in Iraq/Afganistan. Just my two cents
