What was the war strategy of the us and its allies for Europe?
In the broadest sense, the grand strategy was to crack Germany like a nut in a vise between the Allied forces (primarily U.S., Canadian and British) breaking out of the Normandy beachhead in June, 1944 and fighting eastward, and the Soviet Red Army and its allies fighting their way westward from the east. By 1944 there couldn't have been many German military thinkers who didn't see this coming a long way off (some of them tried to kill Hitler on July 20, 1944 so they could try to sue for peace and stave off unconditional surrender, but they failed and hundreds were murdered because of it). If the July 20 plot had not failed, the war in Europe might have ended almost a year earlier. Yet once the plot failed, the remaining officers considered it their bound duty to keep fighting as long as Hitler was alive, whether it made any sense or not.

Is the blackbird stealth plane a stealth bomber?
The SR-71 Blackbird wasn't really a stealth aircraft. It was a reduced RCS craft, meaning it had a reduced radar signature, but was still detectable, and relied on its speed for its defence.
It was an unarmed aircraft, being intended for photographic surveillance and reconnaissance. An armed prototype - the YF-12A - was tested for potential use as an interceptor, but was never fielded.
Results of Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
Chaotic conditions made accurate accounts most difficult. Some victims were vaporized instantly, many survivors were horribly disfigured, and death from radiation was uncertain-it might not claim its victims for days, weeks, months, or even years.
The initial death count in Hiroshima, set at 42,000-93,000, was based solely on the disposal of bodies, and was thus much too low. Later surveys covered body counts, missing persons, and neighborhood surveys during the first months after the bombing, yielding a more reliable estimate of 130,000 dead as of November 1945. A similar survey by officials in Nagasaki set its death toll at 60,000-70,000. (Its plutonium bomb was more powerful, but its destructive range was limited by surrounding hills and mountains).
Additional counts indicated high levels of short-term mortality in both cities:
-Over 90% of persons within 500 meters (1,600 ft.) of ground zero in both cities died.
-At 1.5 km (almost one mile), over 2/3 were casualties, and 1/3 died.
-Of those at a distance of 2 km (1.2 mi.), half were casualties, 10% of whom died.
-Casualties dropped to 10% at distances over 4 km (2.4 mi.)

The U.S. was frustrated with European conflicts. They had lost men in World War I, and didn't want to get involved in a huge hassle all over again.

At the time, they did not feel that getting involved in a war would help them do this.
What accounts for Truman's decision to drop the atomic bomb on Japan?
There was no one specific event that caused Truman to decide to use the atomic bomb where, where without that event he would not have done so.

Jima
had been much more difficult than expected and had resulted in extremely high US casualties.

The U.S. military reflected the diversity of American society during World War II because women and many minority groups were also discriminated against in the military just as in the society.

Also, women weren't allowed any combat roles and the minority groups, for most of the war (African Americans: until April 1943), also weren't allowed in any combat roles. This is just like in jobs and everyday life in the society at that time. Therefore, the U.S. military reflected the diversity of American society during World War II.

How is slavery practiced in today's society?
Slavery exists here in the United States but not in a fashion that most might be familiar with. Though the term is typically associated with forced labor, the slave trade and the use of slaves as labor in the later 1700's the term can also be used when no labor is present. Slavery is also often referred to as "bondage" which can be defined as " the state of being under the control of another " or "someone entirely dominated by some other influence"
In this case, when dependence is by choice, one can see that slavery/bondage exists throughout the US. All manners of abusers are slaves to their socially unacceptable urges, drug addicts are slaves to their narcotics as surely as welfare recipients are enslaved by the unearned federal subsidies they so readily crave.
