Where is DPO AE 09892-9997?
Asked by Wiki User
DPO is actually the abbreviation for Diplomatic Post Office, not Discontinued Post Office as suggested. It is used by Embassies and consulates overseas. Also, the AE stands for Armed Forces Europe, not Army Europe.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the structure of your question I assume you're looking for a former APO military location.
From what I've learned in a similar search, I believe the "DPO" is the abbreviation for "Discontinued Post Office". The "AE" definitely designates "Army Europe" and the "09498" part of your query would be the APO zip code for a former military installation.
For instance, "DPO AE 09742" would refer to the former APO 09742 zip code that was assigned to the Berlin Brigade in Berlin, Germany, but has since been discontinued due to the brigade's having been detached and reassigned.
If you are still in need of locating the exact location, I might suggest you locate someone who was assigned to the military installation that used the APO zip code.
Was agent orange used in Fort Polk LA in 1967?
Asked by Wiki User
DURING WARTIME, AGENT ORANGE was widly used as a defoliant in jungle or heavily forested areas. The whole area was sprayed, killing all of the trees leaves and foliage, making it eaiser for us to see the enemy. HOWEVER: You didn't have to be right there to be exposed to it. I know people who were in the Air Force during the Vietnam war. They were exposed to agent orange in the process of making it,packaging it, storing it, loading it,shipping it, dispersing it and many other possible ways. So to answer your question: yes it is possible to have been exposed to agent orange at various bases and installations.(NOT in particular Ft. Lewis, but in general). <

Why did Japan attack on the US military base at Pearl Harbor in 1941?
Asked by Wiki User
September 1940. The U.S. placed an embargo on Japan by prohibiting exports of steel, scrap iron, and aviation fuel to Japan, due to Japan's takeover of northern French Indochina.
April 1941. The Japanese signed a neutrality treaty with the Soviet Union to help prevent an attack from that direction if they were to go to war with Britain or the U.S. while taking a bigger bite out of Southeast Asia.
June 1941 through the end of July 1941. Japan occupied southern Indochina. Two days later, the U.S., Britain, and the Netherlands froze Japanese assets. This prevented Japan from buying oil, which would, in time, cripple its army and make its navy and air force completely useless.
Toward the end of 1941. With the Soviets seemingly on the verge of defeat by the Axis powers, Japan seized the opportunity to try to take the oil resources of Southeast Asia. The U.S. wanted to stop Japanese expansion but the American people were not willing to go to war to stop it. The U.S. demanded that Japan withdraw from China and Indochina, but would have settled for a token withdrawal and a promise not to take more territory.
Prior to December 1941, Japan pursued two simultaneous courses: try to get the oil embargo lifted on terms that would still let them take the territory they wanted, and ... to prepare for war.
After becoming Japan's premier in mid-October, General Tojo Hideki See Books about Tojo secretly set November 29 as the last day on which Japan would accept a settlement without war.
The Japanese military was asked to devise a war plan. They proposed to sweep into Burma, Malaya, the East Indies, and the Philippines, in addition to establishing a defensive perimeter in the central and southwest Pacific. They expected the U.S. to declare war but not to be willing to fight long or hard enough to win. Their greatest concern was that the U.S. Pacific Fleet, based in Pearl Harbor could foil their plans. As insurance, the Japanese navy undertook to cripple the Pacific Fleet by a surprise air attack. See Books about Japanese Plans

Is a US military base abroad considered American soil?
Asked by Wiki User
No. The only places in other countries that are considered "American soil" are embassies and consulates. Military bases are generally on land leased by the host country.
Correct. Some people claim that it is American soil because children born there are American citizens. While this is true, this is not because the base is considered part of the US, rather, it's because the US's Immigration and Naturalization Act, long story short, says that children of American citizens are American citizens too. They will be issued a "certificate of birth abroad" by the US embassy/consulate near that particular base, which is the normal procedure in such a case.

What if a US citizen gives birth in a foreign country is the child a US citizen or a citizen of that country?
Asked by Wiki User
There are two effective ways to gain U.S. citizenship at birth: have either (or both) of the parents be U.S. citizens, or be born on designated incorporated U.S. sovereign territory. The first method is sufficient for citizenship according to current U.S. law (US Code Title 8, Section 1401), and the second method is proscribed according to the 14th Amendment. In both cases, the child qualifies as a "natual-born" citizen, and is eligible to run for the Presidency.
As the question stands, the answer is an obvious YES, as the mere fact that a parent was a U.S. citizen provides citizenship to the child, and the location of the birth is irrelevant.
On a related note, however, as foreign U.S. military bases are NOT considered sovereign U.S. territory (unlike U.S. Embassies which are, though Consular Offices are not), children born on-base are NOT eligible for automatic U.S. citizenship via the 14th Amendment. Thus, if a foreign worker gave birth at the U.S. base's hospital, the child would not be a U.S. citizen.
