If you are asking if these cities represented Military targets then the answer is no. The nature of the weapon (The Atomic bomb) meant there must be massive civillian loss of life. It does rather beg the question is it a million times more wrong to kill a million people than it is to kill one ? I'm thinking the US position at the time was that ending the war justified the means, even if the implications of the effect of the means were unknown. There is much to suggest the Japanese would have surrendered anyway, but how many more would die before they did, on both the Japanese & Allied side ? It is an emotive subect, warfare, political decision making & what to do for the best results. I think the deaths of what was seen as the enemy counted for very little at the time. The idea of the invasion of the Japanese homeland & the resulting casualties, given their extremely tennacious defence of various islands & island groups over the past 2 years & more, suggested very strongly indeed the US (primarily) would lose a great many young men in combat. Put simply it was a price the US thought itself unprepared to pay.
Chicago, which is also known as "Little Poland."
The Platt Amendment codified relations between the United States and Cuba after the Spanish-American War. Introduced and signed by both countries in 1901, and added to the 1902 Cuban Constitution.
The Platt Amendment outlined the role of the United States in Cuba and the Caribbean and also ensured that Cuba sell or lease lands to the United States necessary for coaling or the development of naval stations, which in 1903 included a coaling and naval station at Guantanamo Bay.
Whether or not you are an aerospace maintenance apprentice or not, the closest military installation to Baton Rouge, Louisiana is Fort Polk. Roughly 190 north and west of BR. about 55 miles due west of Alexandria, Louisiana.
Actually, Naval Air Station New Orleans is closer than Polk. It's on the East End of New Orleans.
PUBLIC LAW 94 - 344 specifies:
"Section 2 (e) The flag should be displayed daily on or near the main administration building of every public institution." Military establishments are public institutions.
There are no limitations as to how many flags can be flown, however (see above) usually ONE location is specified as the "Post flag," "Base flag," or "Camp flag," and it is at THAT location at which the daily official raising and lowering of the installation's flag takes place.
In terms of Troops present it is Fort Benning, Georgia.
In terms of land area it is CFB Suffield in Alberta, Canada.
Subic Bay Naval Base and Clark Air Force Base were in the Philippines, but closed shortly after Mount Pinatubo volcano eruption severely damaged both bases.
Fort Hood, Texas, Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia, Ft. Bragg, NC, Camp Lejeune, NC, Ft. Campbell, KY, Ft. Lewis, WA, Eglin Air Force Base, FL, Naval Air Station Jacksonville, FL are the largest military bases located in the United States. Fort Hood in Texas is actually the largest base in the world.

unlikely, but possible thru oversight of investigating authorities......
AE is the designator used by the US post office to send mail to military personnel stationed in Europe and the Middle East. The sender only pays the post office rate to New York, then the letter or package enters the military shipping system.
Fort Hood is the largest military base in the world (by area) at about 336 square miles.
APO AP 96367 is a US Postal Service address for U.S. military mail to Kadena Air Base, Kadena, Japan.
That is a U.S. Postal Service address element for military mail.
APO = Army Post Office
AE = Armed Forces in Europe and Middle East
09396 = a specific unit or base in that region
The inherent right of a government to take private property for public use is called 'eminent domain'.
A person born on an air base is an American citizen. Of course, this is only true if the parents are American citizens.
Yes and no.
If a civilian were to go to a PX, or something to that affect, they could purchase something there so long as they were with someone who had a military ID.
as long as the person with id pays for the stuff
some bases still let people get away with letting ID holders buy things for civilians who are with them. However, if the store employees suspect this they can ask to see both individuals military ID. Its getting to the point in some bases that they ask to see your ID before you even enter the store to prevent this from happening
Area 51 :)
APO are Army Post Office addresses. Normally they do not represent a city but a unit. If the unit moves to a new location, then all the mail for men in that unit is sent to where they are located, where ever that might be.
Probably. The military tends to use weed killers alongside the road, and Agent Orange (which is a mix of 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T, two very popular herbicides of the time) was in plentiful supply in the military. So, probably every military base open when Orange was being used got a few barrels of it.
