SLUTan or sultan?

The Sultans make me lol. While their supposed to be leading a ENTIRE NATION they are off making babies and flying high. When you think of a leader you think of a caring responsible person or Abraham Lincoln. I don't think i can classify the Sultans as leaders more like irresponsible spoiled teenagers. I can also classify them as paranoid crazies who keep their beloved relatives in cages. I only wonder why the people didn't overthrow their mighty king? To me thats just ludicrous.

Armenian genocide.

I was surprised when i learned about the Armenian Genocide in class. I had no idea that it even existed, even though so many people were killed. To this day the Turkish empire says they had nothing to do with it too! This just makes me sick. At least the Germans got punished for the holocaust happening and had to pay the war fines.

Trench warfare

We learned about trench warfare in class a few days ago, it pretty much sounds like it sucked. All those young soldiers living in constant fear of randomly blowing from a artillery  shot while drowning in a mass of insects, rats and muddy crap. In America we complain about people clicking their pens or siblings playing their music too loud would not come close to compare to what the soldiers had to go through. They slept through gunshots and sometimes didn't even sleep for fear of enemy invasion. Not to mention the diseases and the lice infections they had to go through. The lifestyle these soldiers lived in gives me a different perspective of life and how lucky I am and the silly things that I shouldn't complain or other people complain about.

RAPE!

In class today we learned about the rape of Belgium. I actually thought Belgium was going to hold up in the forts, they looked pretty sturdy. Then Germany came along with big bertha leaving a huge O on my face. I bet the people of Belgium were just as surprised as i was. I also thought it was a dirty tactic to use gorilla warfare, but German's did keep there promise with the 10:1 ratio of Belgium civilians to German soldiers. This gave Belgium no other choice but to surrender. The killing of the civilians did backfire on Germany though, the media exaggerated the invasion of Belgium through the paper and flyers making the Germans look like blood thirsty barbarians. Even though the Germans won the fight with big guns and population, would the deadly weapon of exaggerated press overpower them and win in the end?

Naval team roll out!

World wars class today was pretty epic! I was surprised and proud that our country's military is so beast (thanks to our our naval power). It makes me feel very safe to live here, knowing that our military has us so well protected that the probability of invasion is close to none. The only thing that worries me is China! There economy is rising fast and who knows what they will do... or CAN do. Hopefully Obama keeps in good terms with em.

What i think about war. I think war is voilent and everyone should throw their guns into a space ship were they will be shipped to another planet and guns will be kept in concentration camps. Then the world will result in fighting with flufy pillows and the winner of the war would be determined by whoever can knit the most colorful vest.
Just playin I dont like war but it is a very intresting thing to research.
