How were letter shrunk during World War 2?
V-Mail was a method used to transmit mail back to US. The soldiers were supplied with a form that they filled in the Address and Return Address at the top. Below this was a blank section where the soldier wrote his letter. The letters were photo-copied and the film was shipped back to the US. Once in the US, the film was printed about 1/4 the original size (i.e., shrunk). Each letter was then placed in an envelope so the Address was visible and it was mailed. I have read the statistics of how much volume and weight of mail this process saved. Wikipedia says: "The 37 mail bags required to carry 150,000 one-page letters could be replaced by a single mail sack. The weight of that same amount of mail was reduced dramatically from 2,575 pounds to a mere 45." V-Mail was named for "Victory Mail". See Link for history of V-Mail and examples: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-mail
Can you join the army if your spouse is undocumented?
You can. When your spouse applies for her dependent ID (which is what would give her access to the post you're stationed at), some very obvious issues are going to result from that. You would need to speak to an immigration attorney to see about getting your spouse's status legalised before you enlist.
Where and when was Canadian bacon invented?
Its not real bacon.. in some ways. It is actually just American ham just cooked more, and is greasier.
A solar cell is a large diode that has the junction exposed to sunlight. This creates electron activity when the rays of the sun hit the cell. The ore energy hitting these junctions, the greater the activity.
The cells are very susceptible to weather and glass seriously limits the radiation that hits these junctions, so quartz is used in place of glass.
Solar power is generated by use of solar panels. These panels are typically installed on the roof of a house, where they collect photons from the sun that is then transferred into electricity for the home.

"Air Raid Precautions
A third volunteer unit, known as the Air Raid Precautions (ARP) organization, also formed during the war to help maintain home defence. The ARP recruited some 1,000 volunteers, and trained them in emergency response, first aid, fire fighting, and the extinguishing of incendiary bombs. Based in St. John's, the ARP's mission was to protect the city from enemy attack, perform rescue work, and enforce a permanent blackout. Volunteers scoured the city each night to check windows, doorways, streets, and wharfs for any lighting that could attract the attention of enemy naval vessels or aircraft. Although never called upon to defend St. John's from a major attack, the ARP's blackout duties contributed to the city's protection."

Need the best answer for the basic requirements to get a job in air force?
If you are talking about the US Airforce you will as a minimum need to pass a health physical and take an armed services vocational apptitude battery of tests (ASVAB) covering your scores in four critical areas -- Arithmetic Reasoning, Word Knowledge, Paragraph Comprehension and Mathematics Knowledge that count towards your Armed Forces Qualifying Test (AFQT) score. The AFQT score determines whether you're qualified to enlist in the U.S. military. Your scores in the other areas of the ASVAB will determine how qualified you are for certain military occupational specialties and Enlistment Bonuses. A high score will improve your chances of getting the specialty/job and signing bonus you want.
Scoring high on the ASVAB will require study and concentration. Don't skimp on preparing for this test. It's your future. Get the most out of it. You will find the answers to your questions and links to study for the tests here: http://www.military.com/ASVAB
La mulţi ani.

Is there a rule in the Major League Baseball rule book that allows a catcher to block home plate?
Yes. In Rule 7.06 of the MLB Rulebook it states: " The catcher, without the ball in his possession, has no right to block the pathway of the runner attempting to score. The base line belongs to the runner and the catcher should be there only when he is fielding a ball or when he already has the ball in his hand."

How did the Nazis change the world during world war 2?
An incredibly large number of people- measured in millions- died as a result of the war. Hundreds of millions were left homeless and injured. Europe- a very rich region- was left basically bankrupt, physically devastated, and people starving or suffering with disease. The democratic governments of several nations were destroyed, and the people left to be ruled by dictators. The aftermath of the war left the Soviet Union confronting America, with the start of 50 years of the "Cold War", and the very high costs that THAT created.

How do you find what unit a soldier was with in Leghorn Italy during World War 2?
US Soldiers stationed in Leghorn susequent to its WWII liberation would likely have been members of various support units i.e. Quartermaster etc. or Military Police. The various support and MP units were components of PBS (The US Peninsular Base Section).
Subsequent to the German Surrender, and by late 1945 and for several subsequent years Leghorn was the main port for supplying and reinforcing the US 88th Infantry Division (AKA as the Blue Devils). The 88th was deployed along the "Morgan Line" to deter Yugoslavia from occupying Italian Trieste and the US support troops stationed in Leghorn were essential to that operation.
I sincerely hope this input may be of help.
Should every nation have nuclear capabilities?
yes because if every nation had nuclear weapons and one used it on another nation they would be attack so creating a peace . That is certainly one idea. Letting Saddam have a weapon or Iran seems like a very bad idea. Banning all weapons seems like a far better idea.
Bacause it involves shooting another person. LOL, the only reason. It really shouldn't be rated T.
