What US army generals have been relieved of duty-history?

General George McClellan during the Civil War, General Douglas MacArthur during the Korean War, and now, General McChrystal. McClellan was an arrogant, but brilliant general, replaced by the drunken idiot Ulysses S. Grant. MacArthur led the fight to defeat the Japanese in World War II. McChrystal is a supremely intelligent, extremely skilled warrior who had the misfortune and, perhaps, bad judgement, to speak his mind in front of a reporter from Rolling Stone. Whether he was right or wrong is not under debate. In our free country, you're not allowed to think the President is a dunce.

What did Ho Chi Minh compared his troops to?

This sounds like what did North Vietnam base their army on (which pattern did they use?). In the US Army, for example, the uniform was copied from the French, such as the Union army's kepi cap (hat). Look at a photo of a French soldier's cap from the 1800s and compare that photo to a US Soldier's (Union army) kepi (cap) and you will not see any difference, they will be the same (almost exactly). Same with the rank, the US Army officers wore "shoulder boards" (also called should straps) upon their left & right shoulders, any old western cavalry film will show the US Cavalry officer wearing shoulder boards indicating his rank...those are French.

The North Vietnamese Army (NVA) wore home grown (made in North Vietnam) OD (Olive Drab) cloth covered "pith helmets" with leather webbing inside (as did most other armies). The shape of these pith helmets most nearly matched the steel French "Adrian" helmet worn by the French in WWI and WWII. The NVAs OD uniforms were standard in the 1960s/70s worn by most all other nations at the time.

How was the United Nations involved in the Vietnam War?

They opposed the war effort.

The war was a multilateral invasion by the US, without UN Security Council support.

The United Nations was used as a spark point for protests - On the 9th of November, 1965, Catholif Worker Movement member Roger Allen LaPorte self-immolated in front of the UN HQ building in New York City.

In fairness to America, the situation in the Security Council would have meant that a UNSC Resolution would have been nearly impossible.

What college basketball teams have gone undefeated for their regular seasons?

Only Nine Division I men's basketball teams have finished their season with a perfect record since the start of the NCAA tournament in 1939 - Seven of which won the NCAA title. Here a breakdown.

1955-56 San Francisco 29-0

San Francisco was the powerhouse of the period with Bill Russell and Hal Perry leading the way. The NCAA final 83-71 victory over Iowa clinched the Dons' second straight crown and ran their unbeaten streak to 55 games. All-American guard K.C. Jones was ineligible for the NCAA tournament but San Francisco continued its run - which started in the regular season where it had not won by less than seven points.

1956-57 North Carolina 32-0

The North Carolina Tar Heels crowned off their undefeated campaign by holding Kansas' Wilt Chamberlain to just 13 points in a 54-53 triple-overtime thriller. Joe Quigg made two free throws with six seconds left in the third extra session to give UNC the title. Head coach Frank McGuire's Tar Heels had beaten Michigan State a night earlier in triple-overtime as well. All-American Lennie Rosenbluth, North Carolina's leading scorer during the season at 28 ppg, fouled out with 1:45 left in regulation.

1963-64 UCLA 30-0

This was the start of a magical run for the UCLA Bruins under head coach John Wooden, who would eventually be known as the "Wizard of Westwood". UCLA beat Duke 98-83 for its first NCAA title, which would become 10 championships in 12 years. Player of the Year Walt Hazzard scored 11 points while Gail Goodrich had 27 points and Kenny Washington collected a career-high 26 points and 12 rebounds in the win.

1966-67 UCLA 30-0

Title number three for UCLA came pretty easily as Wooden's men cruised past Dayton 79-64 in the final. The championship started UCLA's seven-year reign over college basketball. It was also the first of three straight crowns for Lew Alcindor - later known as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The team also featured Lucius Allen and Mike Warren. Interesting, the dunk was banned after the 1967 season - primarily due to Alcindor's dominance.

1971-72 UCLA 30-0

This was year six of coach John Wooden's seven consecutive titles. And the Bruins cruised through the regular season, winning by an average of 32 points per game. In addition to Bill Walton, UCLA also featured Keith Wilkes, Swen Nater and Henry Bibby. UCLA actually struggled to put away Florida State in the NCAA final, winning only 81-76 in the L.A. Sports Arena.

1972-73 UCLA 30-0

The final of seven straight NCAA titles for UCLA - and nine in 10 years - ended in an 87-66 blasting of Memphis. The Bruins's amazing 88-game winning streak went through both 1972 and 1973 title runs - making UCLA the first school to post back-to-back unbeaten season. In the final, Bill Walton made 21 of 22 shots in collecting 44 points and 13 rebounds.

1975-76

Indiana 32-0Indiana finished off a great two-year run with a 1976 title for coach Bob Knight, who led his team to an 86-68 victory over Big Ten rival Michigan in the final. Scott May and Kent Benson combined for 51 points and Quinn Buckner had a great all-around showing. The Hoosiers, who out-scored their opponents by an average of 17.3 points, knocked off 1975 national champions UCLA Bruins to get to the title game.

Undefeated But...

The 1953-54 Kentucky Wildcats went 25-0 but turned down an NCAA tournament invitation after three players were ruled ineligible for the event

The North Carolina State Wolfpack was 27-0 in 1972-73 but was barred from the NCAA tournament that year for recruiting violations.

Close But No Cigar

Larry Bird's 1979 Indiana State Sycamores lost to Magic Johnson's Michigan State Spartans in the NCAA final for their first loss of the season.

The University of Nevada at Las Vegas - UNLV - was on course for perfection in 1991 but lost to Duke in the NCAA semi-finals.

What is difference between army post and army base?

Whose army was stronger US or Vietnam?

While there may be an exception to the rule someplace at sometime, the general rule is: Guerrilla armies fight (or exist) because they are not strong enough to take on a regular army in the regular way. Another words, if a combatant does NOT have a regular standing army, then they revert to guerrilla warfare.

During the Viet War the only enemy standing army (regular army) was the NVA. The NVA had tanks, flamethrowers, artillery, uniforms, rank structure, supply chains, and training; all relative to the US military. The VC were a highly organized guerrilla army but were not trained, uniformed, nor equipped with tanks and artillery as was the NVA.

Therefore, the VC cannot be compared to the US military as they were not a formal standing army. And being such a guerrila force and lacking the equipment/weapons which standing armies possess, no they would not be stronger than the US military.

Who acts as the commander-in-chief of the military?

The President of the United States is the Commander-in-Chief of the US Military.

When were gay people banned from us military?

What if your in the army and marry someone in the army?

Then you're a soldier who is married to another soldier? Unless you delve into issues such as enlisted and officers getting involved with each other, there really isn't much more to it than that. You may, however, have to accept being assigned to different duty stations if one of you or both of you were to come down on PCS orders.

What is the proper way to address multiple US army female officers?

If you are speaking to them as a group, as in a class, provided they are all of the same rank and there are no male officers present, it would be appropriate to refer to them as "Ladies." If there is one or more of a higher rank, you would attempt to determine who the highest ranking among them is and address all comments to that one using her rank.

If you encounter them as a group while performing your daily tasks, you would not refer to them as a group; rather, if you were required to address them at all, you would address all questions and answers directly to the highest ranking among them, or to the individual who addressed you, all while standing at attention, or at parade rest if one of them ordered you to that position.

If you go from the marines corp to the army as a E-4 what rank will you be in the army?

You most likely will keep the same rank. You might be able to get a promotion if the MOS you are going into needs people but the person that would have the best answer would probably be a recruiter or someone in your admin. might know.

What was General Grants major strategy?

Win at all costs.

Answer

The strategic intimidation, in which also Lee was a master. It consists in menacing the enemy capital or other vital objectives and by that means compel the opponent to cover them and follow the attacker's movements until become "clinched" and unable

to regain its own "freedom of movements".

In other words his main strategic task was the destruction of the enemy armies and only but as secondary option the seizing of positions, territories, towns etc.

This strategy was applied by Grant towards Lee's Army, starting from The Wilderness and led to the conclusive campaign of Petersburg.

Lee's tentative to dissolve his army from that "mortal embrace" by using general Early's little army attacking through the Shenandoah Valley and menacing Washington as a means to reduce the pressure on Richmond-Petersburg front had but little impact on Grant's operational plans and failed.

The Vicksburg campaign was another remarkable example of Grant's major strategy aiming to progressively reduce the enemy's operational ability inducing Confederate General Pemberton to shut himself up in Vicksburg, where the lost of both fortress and army was only a matter of few weeks.
