planes

i think that pilots would be really worried about staling out. Also pulling an insane amount of Gs because the planes couldn't pull off crazy maneuvers the pilot would still attempt to. when they tried to they could potential rip off the wings or stop the propeller from spinning. Also there was the potential hazard of get shot with the machine gun bullets penetrating the wings or main hull of the plane. Also the machine gun in the front could shoot off the propeller. A German inventor made the triggering mechanism for the machine gun so it wouldnt shoot out the propeller.

great war

WWI was the war that caused a lot of deaths. Mostly because of the new weapons such as machine guns and flamethrowers. Also trench warfare was extremely stressing on soldiers. The diseases would kill many soldiers and cause irritations to soldiers such as lice. They also had to deal with the constant stress of enemies being right across the field. The machine gun was a big invention along with gas and artillery as it killed many many soldiers.

Call of Duty

I think that call of duty and other violent video games are a freedom of speech. I think that these games should be allowed to stay just the way they are as they can express the harsh realities of war. They may not depict war to the utmost accuracy, but they do show intense scenes and reality of war. They are also usually over the top kind of war most of the time the wars are not as gung-ho. In these games you generally play the role of one character and it goes through a story telling how the character progresses through the war. In call of duty 2 you played as a british captain at one point and you traversed all kinds of historical battles and sights. Also the player sees the stresses that the soldiers go through. From freezing their fingers to watching explosions and other things similar to that. Also in these video games you can experience the reality of war or an over dramatization of what war would be like. It is an emotional experience really. Yes it is fun to shoot "bad guys" but really its for experiencing the emotional part of the wars.

crush the weak

Currently the Syrians are occupying Lebanon. They have been occupying them for the past 40 years, since 1970s they have controlled them for money revenue and military control. Syria is bringing in around 3 billion dollars from occupying Lebanon because of its trade market and untaxed and unregulated workers. No one wants to intervene because of a fear of instability in the government and just the way the people are. Everyone else feels if they try to help it will just enhance the conflict further and cause a crisis across the entire middle eastern area due to influence and alliances.

ability...

Should we be able to use things like school of the americas? hmm thats an interesting question... in my opinion i think we should be able to. Simply because in a way countries such as Venezuela do not like us. If we were to over throw them it would be a benifit for our country because it adds to our national defense because we do not need to worry about that country anymore. They wont be a threat to our people anymore and yes this does sound like a very greedy self centered thought but really its a form of self defense. If someone was wanting to fight you and you know you would probably get some bruises or something that you dont want but you dont want to fight that person directly you are going to try to do something to mess with them psychologically. well its a similar case here where we need to take out the thought of the hate which starts with the leader putting out propaganda convincing his people that we are evil. We take that out we take out the propaganda against us.

panama canal

the workers there faced many problems such as Malaria, Yellow Fever, dysentery, typhoid, dengue. About 500 people died for every mile that they built. Some of the dangers were the fact that they would carry entire crates full of dynamite. Also when they would blow up the dynamite it would cause cave ins or would blow up the people. They would light the dynamite and would have to run because the fuse was not very long so it caused it to blow up quickly. Many people died from diseases such as Malaria, Yellow Fever, Dysentery, Typhoid, and Dengue. Also dehydration was a problem along with starvation and many died from the change in climate going from warm to extreme jungle and tropical climate.

300

I think that the movie 300 is a great example of imperialism. I believe it is an example because the Persians attempting to take over the city of Sparta. The Persians in my opinion are the imperialists because they have conquered and destroyed every nation that tried to stand up to them except Sparta. Xerxes is the leader of the Persian army. The Persian army was of the biggest in the world at the time. They ran through many towns and killed everyone in the towns. Such as in the scene when the spartans were looking for the persians after a extremely big battle. They found a town burning and many dead people hanging from trees or dead bodies on the floor or burned. Women were raped and then hung from a tree. In another scene Xerxes is on his throne that is carried by many slaves. He comes to the spartans and tries to get the spartans to join the persian army and surrender sparta to the persians. obviously the spartans refused because they wanted their independence. Also the scene in the very begining when a messenger comes to sparta to ask them to come peacefully and surrender to the persians and Gerrard butler yells "THIS IS SPARTA!!!" (very famous quote). He then kicks the messenger into a giant hole that they were standing by and has his fellow spartans slaughter the guards for the messenger igniting the war between sparta and the persians.
