What is a jackboot?
A jackboot usually reaches up to just below the knee and has no zip or buttons or laces. It has to pulled on generally by using straps inside the boots. (Early jackboots, in the period c. 1840- 1870ish or later, often extended above the knee). Those early ones looked rather like the boots worn by some 'ladies of pleasure'. :) (In World War 2 there were occasional jokes and comments about various possible sexual interpretations). Incidentally, the word jackboot is often used to indicate oppression, as in phrases like 'under the jackboot of ...'
What guns did Britain use in world war ii?
The more common forms of Infantry arms were: Lee-Enfield Bolt action rifles, with a magazine capacity of l0 rounds. The Bren light machine gun which was selective-fire. The name Bren derives from Brno ( Czech arsenal) and Enfield. The Sten submachine gun was widely used by commandos and raiding troops as it was very light and inexpensive but powerful for size. It somewhat resembled a Zip Gun and odd for small automatic arms, had a lateral feed. as for Artillery pieces, there was a considerable variety and being Tradition-Conscious there are many books on this aspect of the Royal Army. Indeed, RA normally flags Royal Artillery as this is the Lead Branch, so to speak.
Why didn't Truman allow the Japanese to make a conditional surrender with the terms that they could keep their Emperorknowing that this would have allowed the war to end in June 1945?
Who says he wouldn't have? In June 1945 the Japanese were bitterly defending Okinawa, engaging in mass Kamikaze attacks on the American fleet, and showing not the slightest sign of any inclination to surrender on any terms. The Japanese still had millions of undefeated troops in China. The war had been lost to the Japanese since Midway, in June 1942, to all of them who were able to face the facts unemotionally. So why did they wait more than three years, and endure two atomic bombings before they voiced a desire to end it? There is a school of revisionist "historians" that have tried to claim in recent years that Japan WANTED to surrender, had made the decision TO surrender, and, instead of directly informing the US of this decision, were trying to go through the Russians or the Swedes or some other intermediary to get the word through. I do not think the historical evidence supports any of these propositions, but even so, assuming that they are true, if the Japanese wanted to surrender, shouldn't they have let the US know that simple fact? There is no doubt whatsoever that the US had no information at all of any intention to end the war by Japan. The US was actively involved in planning and preparing for the next two invasions, which were to be in the Home Islands, in November 1945 and March 1946. In July 1945, while at the Potsdam Conference, Truman issued the "Potsdam Declaration" to the Japanese, after he had been informed of the successful test of the atomic bomb. Truman called on Japan for immediate surrender, or promised they would face "prompt and utter destruction", "the like of which the world has never seen". The Japanese made no reply at all. None. Zero, Nada, Zip. Zilch.
Is there a list of purple heart recipients from world war 1 and world war 2?
No, there is not a consolidated list.This medal has been earned by over 800,000 individuals. There are several reasons that there is no such list. First, due to the number of servicemen who have been and are being awarded the Purple Heart, creating and maintaining such a list would be nearly impossible. Secondly, not all awards of the the Purple Heart have been documented, and many of the recipients themselves, the only ones who still remember their award, have died, and so the fact that they received this decoration has been forgotten.Also, just an FYI--the NARA (National Archive) in St Louis suffered a major fire in ca. 1969 many, many veteran's records were completely lost (over 60%).AnswerThe official site from the government is linked to the right as "National WWII Memorial." AnswerThere is a book called Purple Heart by Turner publishing and is a list of purple heart recipients and can be obtained from "Staticline books" box 87518 college park Georgia zip 30337-0518 AnswerThere is no list of WW 2 Purple Heart Recipients from a source based in fact. The only "lists" available are those assembled by individuals seeking others to add names to a list. Not the most accurate means to obtain historic facts. AnswerI found this site that might help: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~sebring/index.htmAnswerNo such list exists.
Is using military rank and MD correct?
The short answer is that there are very few circumstances in which it would be proper to include both a military rank and a medical degree when writing someone's name in a signature block or the address of a document. According to Army Regulation 25-50, US military personnel should include academic degrees in their signature blocks or addresses only if there is a specific advantage to the military service in doing so (such as increasing the officer's credibility in a matter addressed in the document he is signing). The officer's rank and branch should be included in the signature block. So, an example of the signature block of a medical doctor would be, JANE R. SNUFFY Colonel, Medical Corps Director of Internal Medicine When addressing a letter to this same doctor, a correct address would be Colonel Jane R. Snuffy Director of Internal Medicine Madigan Army Medical Center Tacoma, Washington Zip+4 The letter should begin, "Dear Colonel Snuffy," If Colonel Snuffy is retired from Active Duty, then in a very formal mode it would be proper to address a letter to "Dr. Jane R. Snuffy, Colonel (Retired) US Army". In most cases, the opening line of a letter to this retired officer would be "Dear Dr. Snuffy." Hope this information meets your needs in a timely fashion.
