Why was Lee Harvey Oswald in the Dallas theater?
I presume you mean that theater in which he was apprehended after shooting President Kennedy. That was named the Texas Theatre. He was there in hopes of escaping the police and hiding out for a while. He made a big mistake by not buying a ticket, which resulted in a call to the police and his arrest. A ticket that would have cost about 25 cents would have allowed him to watch Aldo Ray in relative comfort while awaiting nightfall and a new escape plan.

How did the disease trench foot have impact on the war effort?
Some say that an Army marches on its stomach. Some say that your most important tool in combat is your rifle or that wars are won by the threat of the bayonet. All true, but trench foot and frostbite have had a debilitating effect on troops since they began marching into combat. Modern warfare may not be as dependent on boots on the ground as it once was, but, the health of the troop's feet can be costly. They once said something about "for want of the nail, the shoe was lost, for want of the shoe the horse was lost, for want of the horse the battle was lost and for want of the battle the war was lost". We don't use horses much in today's warfare, but the concept is the same.
