Conditions were often terribly unsanitary, causing some to die, especially when their immune systems were already compromised. More soldiers actually died from diseases than were killed in fighting.

Women led the war effort during WWII. While most of the men were off fighting in different theaters across the globe, the women took up men's jobs and kept their homeland running. Some worked in factories producing supplies for the troops, inspired by the fictional poster icon Rosie the Riviter. They rationed their own food and goods so that the troops could be well fed.

Inequality, Jim Crow Laws, "White Man's Burden", and many other factors. Also they were not referred to as African Americans at the time. Lastly, to presuppose that every person of color felt the same way at some point in time is pretty ignorant. Generalizations are bad, bad, bad.

The reasons why war is bad because:

- Billions of dollars get spent for war equipment. Which the billions of dollars is used for the economy.

- Many innocent men, women, and children die from the soldiers while war is happening.

- It is very bad for the environment.

- Many resources get taken away when war is happening.

HOWEVER, there are some good reasons that war is good:

- Makes new jobs.

- Using new resources.

- Having peace with a country or group (depends).

Women Marines (WM's) can hold any billet in the Corps with the exception of combat arms (Infantry, Armor, Artillary) and some forward deployed functions such as found with Force Service Support Group (FSSG) units.

There was no Roman Emperor during Cleoparta's time. Julius Caesar formed a liaison with her after he came to Egypt in search of Pompey the Great after he defeated him at Pharsalus in 48 BCE.. He fathered a child with her called Caesarion. He became Dictator for Life, and subsequently invited her to visit Rome. After Ceasar's murder, Octavian (later called Augustus), Marc Antony and Lepidus formed a Triumvirate and divided the empire amongst them. Triumvir Antony got the east, and he formed a liaison and alliance with Cleopatra. The upshot was a civil war between the west and the east, which ended at Actium in 31 BCE. Antony fled with Cleo to Alexandria, where both suicided as Triumvir Octavian surrounded the city. Octavian reduced Egypt to a Roman province governed by a personal appointee.

Men of a healthy outlook and age were expected to go to war, even the very rich did, they often found themselves in higher position. Any man refusing to go to war would have be shunned by the community and arressted and spend the entire war in jail, because if you didnt have a medical condition that kept you from enlisting the you were considered a coward.

Male refugees of military age from Germany and Austria - whether Jewish or not - were interned ... However, the majority of refugees were able to establish their status as genuine refugees and were released fairly quickly.

During WWII women found atypical manufacturing jobs that were left vacant by men who left to fight. These jobs were welding, assembling, and riveting to name a few. This is where the phrase "Rosie the Riveter" came from. The tragedy is that when the men returned from war, the women were fired from the jobs they performed while the men were away.

Probably the most profound effect that Native Americans had on WWII was in the Pacific theater. It was here that the code talkers were introduced. The Japanese never broke any code that the code talkers used. Matter of fact, during the cold war, a little known bit of history is that the Soviet Union went thru many efforts to procure the languages that were used by our code talkers and taught it to their GRU operatives. This way if we tried to do that to them, they could counter it. Also one of the Marines that raised the flag at Iowa Jima was Ira Hayes.
