How did the north use ironclads in the civili war?
To attack and destroy the Confederates ironclads or blocking the harbors where they were standing, preventing them from going into the open sea. To attack the Confederates coastal installation, supporting landing operations. Along the Mississippi River and other western waterway, ironclad gunboats were employed to gain the control of the same, to attack the Confederate river's strongholds and support the Union Armies advancing along their banks.
How did Lincoln respond when the confederacy took control of Fort Sumpter?
He effectively declared war - though there was no official declaration, because Congress did not recognise the Confederacy as a sovereign nation. But by appealing for 75,000 volunteer troops (which Sherman said would be about as much use as a water-pistol), he showed that he was preparing for military operations, and the four states of the Upper South whose loyalties were still undecided threw in their lot with the Confederates. The two sides were now lined-up. The war was on.
Are blue ink pens authorized in the military?
This is a little harder than just yes or no. For the most part the military uses black ink because it copies better and faxes better. However the commanding officer of a unit will usually use red ink so that anytime you see something in red you know it was written or signed by the commanding officer. The executive officer (number 2 in command) uses green ink and the operations officer in some units uses blue.

What was the reason for US lack of success in Vietnam war?
We were not able to use all our military power in this war. We could not invade the North, we could not move into Laos and Cambodia (the Ho Ch Min Trial). In order to win a land war you must occupy the the enemy's for a period of time. We bombed the North but could not conduct any operations on the ground in North Viet Nam. (Short Answer) So to say that our troops did not perform well in Viet Nam is not accurate.
