Resolved Question: What name/s do you think suits this girl (pics and description included)?

Okay this is for a character. She is around 13 years old but she is majorly small for her age and you'd be forgiven for mistaking her for just 10 or 11. She is very thin as she's had some eating-self image issues for a while that she's working through. She's the youngest and has flaming straight but thick red hair that darkens with age like many kids hair do. She occasionally curls it slightly though. Her eyes are naturally wide, almond shaped and emerald green eyes. Her lashes are dark and naturally long so she doesn't usually need mascara because she has the look as if she is. Her skin is not pale but not too rosy or tanned. She has light freckles littering across the top of her nose (across the bridge) and the tops of her cheekbones. With age however these fade like freckles tend to do. Personality wise despite problems with self image she is very loud, vivacious and sometimes very cheeky. She is the one to get into mischief and encourage others to have fun too. She loves to perform and is an excellent singer and dancer and can act quite well. She sometimes acts her way to manipulating people - she is a good girl though (generally). At school she has a short attention span and unless she is completely interested her attention span isn't much more than 20 minutes at a time or she'll start mucking about, talking etc. She is popular (not ridiculously so though) and she has many friends however she has only a handful of close ones and if you make good friends with her she is extremely loyal. However like I said she is very unfocused. She also can be quite impulsive and constantly needs adults to stop her doing stupid things as she often ends up hurt most often physically. Especially when she's young her approach to life is act now think later, not the other way around like it should be. Since she is the youngest in her family she is quite mollycoddled and her parents are overprotective. She hates it and tries her best to be as independent as possible but still needs guidance because of her personality. She is also extremely stubborn and fiery tempered, she will fight tooth and nail to protect those she loves even if that person happens to be twice her size. As for clothes she wears lace, bolder colours but NEVER pink as she hates it, stacked bangles (she has one gold not real gold charm bracelet her dead mother left for her), roman sandals, ankle high converse (patterned ones), bright coloured jeans usually skinny, black lace skirts, doc martens, brightly coloured stockings, feather, zipper or skull earrings, slogan tees etc. Her style is unique and bold. It suits her personality she isn't one to conform unless she really wants to which is rarely. more

Resolved Question: Ten worst fashion trends now?

Or as I call them fashoff trends. I saw this post on another forum on the web and it got some really funny responses so I thought I'd ask it here. Give me your 10 hates is style and fashion here are mine. 1. I would love to see the down fall of A&F and Hollister just to get rid of the popped collars and the name plastered on every shirt and hoodie. 2. Bad hair all around... especially the faux hawk and the totally frizzy spiky in the back long in front EMO hair. 3. Muffins tops! Buy clothes that fit your body people! 4. Ed Hardy and Affliction tees... they say "I'm a douchebag"... god they are so cliche... and what exactly are you afflicted with other than douchebaggery? 5. Any shirt with a smartass slogan. 6. Anyone who was ten years old or younger when Wayne's World came out wearing an Alice, Cooper, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Stones, Blondie, Prince, Queen, Pink Floyd, Led Zep etc. T-shirt... especially any faux vintage tour t-shirt as if you were really there... Let's get real if I walked around wearing some Paramore shirt or other cliche Hot Topic band I'd be a joke. Don't fuck with my bands you don't listen too and I won't fuck with you're crappy bands that I don't listen too, okay? 7. The trend of wearing sunglasses indoors. 8. Sagging pants need to go to. They should've gone back in early 90's when my generation started that whole mess. 9. Stickers on the hats that's like still having the tags attached to your clothes fool! 10. The 80's are back, the neon, the headbands, the punk pins, the leggings but apparently nobody bothered to actually look at the 80s to see how it was pulled off or not pulled off. Epic fail all around in my opinion. And LOVED the 80s neon style. Special award to Converse sneakies because they were SO FUCKING AWESOME until Nike bought them out and I can't support Nike. more

Resolved Question: Is this Legislation a violation on Civil Liberties & what do you think?

Source: http://www.gov.bc.ca/ag/ INFORMATION BULLETIN 2009AG0010-000453 October 7, 2009 Ministry of Attorney General MISCELLANEOUS STATUTES AMENDMENT ACT INTRODUCED BILL 13.... Municipalities Enabling and Validating Act – Amendments will provide the municipalities of Vancouver, Richmond and Whistler with temporary enforcement powers to enable them to swiftly remove illegal signs and graffiti during the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. The legislation does not change the existing scope of authority to regulate signs and graffiti. Rather, it provides, on a temporary basis, a faster way of removing signs and graffiti that violate municipal bylaws during the short period the Games are underway. Media Report: Source: The Vancouver Sun Newspaper http://communities.canada.com/vancouvers… Original report on topic by Daphane Bramham http://www.vancouversun.com/sports/2010w… Recent report: Gagging citizens for the 2010 Olympics By Daphne Bramham 12 Oct 2009 Think Tank Filed under: Vancouver, Olympics, 2010, Whistler, B.C., civil liberties, Winter Olympics, protest, Richmond, democracy Nobody wants some embarrassing incident during the 2010 Winter Games that will give Vancouver a black-eye in the global community. Afterall, we’re spending billions of dollars to put on a Winter Games aimed at boosting Canadian pride and celebrating the skills of our athletes. But the politicians have got it wrong if they think that they’re not embarrassing us by giving police, security forces or any designated municipal employee in Vancouver, Richmond and Whistler the extraordinary power to enter people’s homes and take down any “advertising-matter”— albeit with 24 hours’ notice. What’s particularly offensive about this draconian power is that no one is willing to define exactly what “advertising-matter” is. Does it include Tibetan flags? Does it only mean Pepsi posters since Coke is an Olympic top sponsor? Does it mean Olympic rings coupled with anti-Games slogans? Instead Vancouver’s bylaw (which I wrote about in the summer) and the bill currently before the B.C. legislature leaves the defining to the discretion of whoever might be designated to enforce this. The municipalities and the province are also poised to increase the penalty for sign offenders to $10,000 from $2,000 and up to six months in jail. As Robert Holmes, president of the B.C. Civil Liberties Association points out, six months in jail is usually reserved for criminals, who have a record of several conviction for breaking and entering. And isn’t this rich? When I went searching for a copy of the province’s Bill 13, I found the government’s contest for middle and secondary students to produce a video to celebrate the International Day of Democracy. The contest ends Nov. 15 and the grand prize is. . . a trip to Victoria and a tour of the legislature. Here’s part of what the contest promotion says: “Democracy is dependent on the expression of ideas and a culture of tolerance. Political tolerance implies freedom of expression, open dialogue and a diversity of views. It is the role of democractic [sic] institutions, such as parliament, to mediate tensions between diverging opinions and to accommodate the participation of all sectors of society.” I’m betting that any student tackling the issue of free expression during the Olympics won’t be winning that exciting trip to see our provincial politicians in action.

Resolved Question: Is campaign slogan 4 banker PR against 'populist overreaction' 2 bailouts 'stop complaining abt being fleeced'?

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aNBWPPxGyWaU "Wall Street’s largest trade group has started a campaign to counter the “populist” backlash against bankers, enlisting two former aides to Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson to spearhead the effort. In memos of confidential meetings with top financial executives, the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association said it began this month the “execution phase” of the operation, which pledges to “embrace change” and accountability. The plan targets policy makers and the media in New York, London, Washington and Brussels and calls for a “city-by-city, grass roots” approach. The securities industry “must be perceived as part of the solution, which will allow it to better defend against populist overreaction,” the documents, prepared for a June 17 meeting of SIFMA’s board, said. The board meeting minutes and staff-written papers, obtained by Bloomberg News, outline the program crafted by polling, lobbying and public relations companies paid at least $85,000 a month. The memos provide a glimpse, in often candid language, into how Wall Street is grappling with its pariah status. “It is imperative that in this historic period of reform, the industry be recognized as playing a positive role in seeking change and providing solutions to the problems we face,” one of the documents said. “There is currently widespread skepticism about the industry’s commitment to this needed change.” Lobbying Congress The internal papers call for using regional securities firms, many of which have escaped notoriety in the financial crisis, to push the industry’s message with their local members of Congress. The plan notes that brokers across the country can also be used. “The foot power of the private client group has proven to be effective in blunting populist messages in the past,” said board member Paul Purcell, chief executive officer of Milwaukee investment firm Robert W. Baird & Co., according to the minutes of one meeting. To advise on the strategy, the trade group turned to a bipartisan roster of consultants. Such advice doesn’t come cheap and SIFMA is discussing dipping into its reserves to cover some of the costs, according to one memo. Michele Davis, Paulson’s former spokeswoman, and Jim Wilkinson, his former chief of staff, are among those leading the effort. SIFMA is paying their firm, Brunswick Group LLC, a monthly retainer of $70,000, the documents show. Both Davis and Wilkinson declined to comment. Paulson left office in January. Democratic Pollster Assisting them is a Democratic polling company, Brilliant Corners Research and Strategies, which is paid $5,000 a month. It is run by pollster Cornell Belcher, who worked on President Barack Obama’s campaign. BKSH & Associates Worldwide, a lobbying firm chaired by Republican strategist Charlie Black, signed on for $10,000. In response to questions about the push for an image makeover, SIFMA President Timothy Ryan said the organization has taken a lead advocating for a federal systemic risk regulator and has pushed for increased government power to wind down financial firms that don’t own banks. He also touted the group’s recently issued recommendations on executive compensation. “This effort, which is not uncommon for a trade association, is designed to ensure our ideas for improved accountability, oversight and transparency are heard by the widest possible audience,” Ryan said.And if they want to be seen as the leader in pushing for 'transparency' when are they going to stop fighting Ron Paul/Bernie Sanders/Jim DeMint in trying to get the Federal Reserve audited under HR 1207 and S 604?And I thought this was interesting: http://seekingalpha.com/article/148262-austrian-school-of-economics-is-on-the-rise What do you think about this? more

Resolved Question: Where is the change Obama promised and why is the left oblivious to his campaign that got him elected?

In the Seattle Times February 9, David Sirota's syndicated column exposes the lack of change in the new administration: "America was told that finally after years of yes-men running the government, we were getting a president who would follow Abraham Lincoln's load, fill his administration with varying viewpoints, and glean empirically sound policy from the clash of ideas. "Little did we know that the 'team of rivals' was what George Orwell calls 'Newspeak': an empty slogan. "Obama's national security team, for instance, includes not a single Iraq War opponent. The president has not only retained George W. Bush's defense secretary, Robert Gates, but also 150 other Bush Pentagon appointees. The only `rivalry' is between those who back increasing the already bloated defense budget by an absurd amount, and those who aim to boost it by a ludicrous amount. "Of course, that lock-step uniformity pales in comparison to the White House's economic team -- a squad of corporate lackeys disguised as public servants. "At the top is Lawrence Summers, the director of Obama's national economic council. As Bill Clinton's treasury secretary in the late 1990's Summers worked with his deputy, Tim Geithner (now Obama's treasury secretary) and Clinton's aide Rahm Emanuel (now Obama's chief of staff) to champion job-killing trade deals and deregulation that Obama Commerce Secretary Judd Gregg helped shepherd through Congress as a Republican senator." Some people call this economic package Obama boasts about as merely a way to force the taxpaying public to guarantee the financial industry's bad loans. No, this is definitely not the change that Obama's campaign boasted about, is it? No, indeed, it's the same people doing the same things, and the U.S. taxpayer footing the bill for failure. The February 10 front page of the New York Times revealed this headline: GEITHNER SAID TO HAVE PREVAILED ON THE BAILOUT Stephen Labaton and Edmund L. Andrews in their article datelined from Washington, D.C. explained: "The Obama administration's new plan to bail out the nation's banks was fashioned after a spirited debate that pitted the Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner against some of the president's top political hands. "In the end, Mr. Geithner largely prevailed in opposing tougher conditions on financial institutions that were sought by presidential aides, including David Axelrod, a senior adviser to the president, according to administration and congressional officials." What are some of the changes that Geithner wanted included? It will cost billions more! As Labaton and Andrews revealed: "It calls for the creation of a joint treasury and federal reserve program at an initial cost of $250 billion to $500 billion to encourage investors to acquire soured mortgage-related assets from banks. "It wants the Fed to use its balance sheet to provide the financing, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation might provide guarantees to investors who participate in the program. "A second component of the plan would broadly expand to $500 billion to $1 trillion, an existing $200 billion program run by the Federal Reserve to try to unfreeze the market for commercial, student, auto and credit cards." The big question to making these grandiose plans work is where is all this bailout cash coming from? China, we hear, is experiencing its own recession. We already owe China more than $1 trillion. China is cutting back in loans to the U.S. as it explains it needs money for China more than ever. To put people in top positions who sent our jobs away and reward bank chiefs who took huge bonuses and put the same colossal bank president failures back in power does seem unforgivable. America must remain strong so future generations will have the strength to pay off this gigantic national debt. President Obama, what on earth happened to all your glowing promises for change? more

Resolved Question: Should President Obama be sued for deceptive advertising? Do you want a refund?

President Obama advertised himself to me as someone who would keep his word and was firm on his incredible campaign promises. In less than 10 days of being President, he has already broken a major promise. He promised: "lobbyists won't find a job in my White House." He's already appointed at least a dozen recent lobbyists to top positions such as: Attorney General Secretary of Agriculture Deputy Interior Secretary Deputy Health and Human Services and many more. See: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/010... and http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/... His promises were delivered to me, the consumer, as dependable, reliable, trustworthy, and iron clad. In fact ethics and integrity were the product slogans that really sold people on his product (himself) that he was selling. Another case of deceptive advertising?

Resolved Question: What's wrong with redistribution of wealth?

Take ur time to carefully analyze the next few statements. The statements are all true. You can research it yourself. Go look up wealth distribution! Top 1% of Americans possess more wealth than the combined bottom 90% of Americans. The Top 2-10% of Americans also possess more wealth than the combined bottom 90% of Americans. Therefore, the top 10% of Americans possess more than 67% of the nation's wealth. So what's wrong with raising taxes a little bit for the ridiculously super rich so that we can spend the extra $$ for bettering the country. Isn't the republican slogan "country first"? Do the top 1% of Americans really need that extra Bentley for their 16 yr old son? Do the top 1% of Americans really need to have their semi-annual renovation for their 7th house? Does Sarah Palin's baby really need to have Gucci bibs? Side question, who finds it ironic that McCain boasts about his foreign policy experience, but a heavy majority of other nations greatly support Obama rather than McCain? Does no one care that the top 1% of American's have more $$ than the bottom 90%? thats like if u have 100 people in a room and $100 dollars to split it amongst them... 1 person would hold $33.. 9 people would have $4 each... and the other 90 people would split the remaining $31.. And rich people aren't rich just because they work harder. Rich people are rich because of status. Middle class americans (50-70 percentile range) work full 40+ hours a week. Maybe they didnt have the $$ to get higher education when they were younger, but nonetheless, it doesn't mean they are lazy and work less than rich people. IF anything, the rich folk barely work a day in their lives. more

Resolved Question: Top 10 Most Brilliant Marketing Screw Ups?

1. Coors put its slogan, "Turn it loose," into Spanish, where it was read as "Suffer from diarrhoea." 2. Scandinavian vacuum manufacturer Electrolux used the following in an American campaign: "Nothing sucks like an Electrolux." 3. Clairol introduced the "Mist Stick", a curling iron, into German only to find out that "mist" is slang for manure. Not too many people had use for the "manure stick." 4. When Gerber started selling baby food in Africa, they used the same packaging as in the U.S., with the beautiful Caucasian baby on the label. Later they learned that in Africa, companies routinely put pictures on the label of what's inside, since most people can't read. 5. Colgate introduced a toothpaste in France called Cue, the name of a notorious porno magazine. 6. An American T-shirt maker in Miami printed shirts for the Spanish market which promoted the Pope's visit. Instead of "I saw the Pope" (el Papa), the shirts read "I saw the potato" (la papa).7. Pepsi's "Come alive with the Pepsi Generation" translated into "Pepsi brings your ancestors back from the grave", in Chinese. 8. Frank Perdue's chicken slogan, "it takes a strong man to make a tender chicken" was translated into Spanish as "it takes an aroused man to make a chicken affectionate." 9. The Coca-Cola name in China was first read as "Ke-kou-ke-la", meaning "Bite the wax tadpole" or "female horse stuffed with wax", depending on the dialect. Coke then researched 40,000 characters to find a phonetic equivalent "ko-kou-ko-le", translating into "happiness in the mouth." 10. When Parker Pen marketed a ball-point pen in Mexico, its ads were supposed to have read, "it won't leak in your pocket and embarrass you". Instead, the company thought that the word "embarazar" (to impregnate) meant to embarrass, so the ad read: "It won't leak in your pocket and make you pregnant." more

Resolved Question: Top ten reasons why I think we just had a “good” election. What do you think?

Top ten reasons why I think we just had a “good” election. 10.Alan Peter Cayetano still belongs in the magic 12 trending, in spite of Joselito Cayetano. It only goes to show that many Filipinos watch the news and are aware of the issues and as such, are incensed at the dirty tactics of other politicians. 9.Trillanes’ name is popping up in the magic 12 trend, in spite being unable to launch a full campaign and be physically present in those he was able to launch. This only goes to show that many voters are no longer drawn by dancing politicians in colorful stages spewing out highly attractive, highly abstract promises. It shows that many voters are already drawn to the issues that the candidates represent and not on the beauty of their posters or the number of posters pasted on walls, constantly nagging us. Either this or the Filipinos just merely love underdogs. Which goes to explain why Rainier Castillo and Sandara Park of different talent searches top their text polls; but that’s another story. 8. Goma is not winning. This only goes to show that many voters are no longer drawn by dancing politicians in colorful stages spewing out highly attractive, highly abstract promises. Period. 7. Buboy is not winning. This only goes to show that many voters are no longer drawn by dancing politicians in colorful stages spewing out highly attractive, highly abstract promises. And it proves that letting your child sing in your commercial may be cute in your family reunions but don’t expect that it would get you votes in national elections. And it also proves that playing Jose Rizal in the movies will not make people associate the person with the Character, and think of him as a hero. Furthermore it also proves that playing Chavit Singson in the movies will not make people associate him again with the character and make him a hero. Which is much more difficult, unless your definition of hero is Chavit. 6.Chavit Singson is not winning. It only goes to show that having someone who played the role of Jose Rizal play your character does not guarantee that people will think of you as a hero especially when you really ain’t one. Look for the word “kontrabida” in a Filipino Dictionary and you will see a picture of Chavit. It also disproves the idea that brandishing that you are the “boses ng probinsya” or any other slogan as lame as that will still still deceive probinsyanos . They have their governors. 5. Chiz Escudero is topping polls. This only goes to show that when you are honest and good, and fearless in being honest and good, people in all walks of life are going to back you up. People who still believe in hope, adhere to people who look like unstoppable force of goodness. Which goes to explain why some people somewhere sometime would pull out their guns inside the “sinehan” and shoot the kontrabida trying to shoot Fernando Poe behind his back. But that’s another story. 4. Ed Panlilio of Pampanga is fighting a close fight for the gubernatorial position. This only goes to show that when you are honest and good, and fearless in being honest and good, people in all walks of life are going to back you up in spite of lingering temptations of not voting or worst, selling their votes. It doesn’t matter that you don’t have enough funds to print posters; people are going to print posters for you, hell, even paint rice sacks with your name. It doesn’t matter if your opponents are going to hand-out money, people are going to accept them and donate them for your campaign. 3. Manny Pacquiao is not winning. When the country watches Manny win in his title bouts people are cheering, feeling proud that they are Filipino, making merry, jumping in triumph. When the country watches Manny getting beaten up by Custodio by thousands of votes, people are sighing a sigh of relief, feeling proud of the Filipinos in Gen San, and jumping with the triumph of intelligent voting. You gotta hand it to Manny, manalo (boxing), matalo (election), masaya pa rin ang tao. Mahirap gawin yun unless clown ka. (Which anyway, Manny does for “sideline” sometimes. But that’s another story.) This only goes to show that many voters are no longer drawn by non-dancing politicians in colorful stages unable to spew out highly attractive, highly abstract promises. Wala lang talaga. 2. Pichay is not getting planted in the senate Pichay’s case is now the leading example among Business Management students on how having the best and highly-budgeted marketing team in the Philippines will do you no good if the product is bad. Pichay’s case also proves that the best marketing team in the Philippines will do you no good if you made fun of your own name from the start anyway. And it doesn’t help that he looks funny anyway. Look in the Filipino Dictionary for the verb “nangarap” and you will see a picture of Pichay. And what the hell is a “pro-pinoy” Aren’t they all suppose to be pro-pinoy? Is there an anti-pinoy candidate? (Well, there’s Mike Defensor, but, ahem, that’s another story). Back to Pichay. He spent short of 100 million pesos. His marketing team should have allotted at least a few million pesos for lipo-suction. That way, he wouldn’t look like he’s going to get-even with the Filipinos after the elections after all the money his spent. 1.Mike Defensor is not winning. If you let people call you “tol” people are going to be at ease with you. No matter how “bad boy” you’ve been, you will still be able to sell anything from slippers, prepaid cards, soft drinks and multivitamins. That is, if your name is Robin Padilla. If your name is Mike Defensor, that’s another story. Look for the word tuta in the dictionary and you will see Tol’s face. Which doesn’t exactly make him “Tol”. Defensor’s case proves that the second best marketing team in the Philippines will do you no good if the product is bad. Most importantly Tol’s case proves that having a Manny Pacqiao look-a-like in your tv ads will not make you win. Syet, Eh si Chavit Singson nga, si Manny Pacqiao na mismo ang nasa commercial nya, di pa rin nananalo. Eh bat ka pa nga naman magtataka, eh si Manny Pacqiao nga Manny Pacqiao na ang mukha nya, di pa rin siya manalonalo. Powtek!u'r ryt josh, what they are capable of doing is really scary. they've done worst in their regime. more

Resolved Question: viagra funny or not?

The boss of a Madison Avenue advertising agency called a spontaneous staff meeting in the middle of a particularly stressful week. (This is one pretty sharp boss!) When everyone gathered, the boss, who understood the benefits of having fun, told the burnt out staff the purpose of the meeting was to have a quick contest. The theme: Viagra advertising slogans. The only rule was that they had to use past ad slogans, originally written for other products, that captured the essence of Viagra. Slight variations were acceptable. About seven minutes later, they turned in their suggestions and created a Top Ten List. With all the laughter and camaraderie, the rest of the week went very well for everyone The top ten were: 10. Viagra, Whaazzzz up! 9. Viagra, The quicker p*cker upper. 8. Viagra, Like a rock! 7. Viagra, When it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight. 6. Viagra, Be all that you can be.5.

Resolved Question: Can someone read my essay? US history... i really need help with it. just give me constructive criticism?

Who is to determine what can be endured? Everyone in this world has a body different from another; from their personality to their genetic makeup. General statements about human beings can be established based on studies and statistics but they fail to recognize the difference in each person. A person has an unlimited potential as long as studies have not gained a full understanding of the human body. Basketball players and track stars are thought to be superhuman because of their abilities. Good stamina comes from training and their large lung capacities. However, these abilities came only from their training. Persistence, diligence and practical training resulted in their ‘superhuman’ abilities, not supernatural abilities. If everyone and their bodies are different, then who is to say what is difficult or physically impossible? Everyone’s body does have a limit, but we cannot establish a limit in others when we haven’t reached it in ourselves. No one can really make a definite statement on endurance because not everyone is the same. One can endure anything if they will themselves enough. Pearl Harbor enraged Americans and triggered the desire to fight once again for this country. Young boys out of college were drafted into the army. Young and skeptical, the boys brought with them virtue and camaraderie. Youthful optimism, intense training and use of new weapons confirm that the demands of conventional front-line combat did not approach the practical limits of human endurance. The youth were strong and resilient and they should have been in their prime. The soldiers of WWII were suspicious about European conflict and were critical about slogans like “Making the World Safe for Democracy.” Even so, they prepared for army life. After the events of Pearl Harbor, Americans became enraged and got caught up with the hysteria. Some draftees were ecstatic to get a chance to beat a foreign enemy once again. They were enthusiastic and felt safe with a feeling of US invincibility. Enthusiasm and optimism motivated the soldiers to fight and continue fighting. Some of the draftees and new recruits were not physically fit so training helped ensure success and survival on the battlefield. Marching and running became daily exercises for the soldiers. Soldiers like Private Ed Tipper assumed that the first days of camp were easy. I looked up at nearby Mount Currahee and told someone, ‘I bet that when we finish the training program her, the last thing they’ll make us do will be to climb that mountain’… A few minutes later, someone blew a whistle. We fell in, were ordered to change into boots and athletic trunks, did so, fell in again – and then ran most of the three miles to the top and down again. (Wukovits, 14) They were training to build up their endurance. “On the double” was a euphemism for running and eventually they would go everywhere ‘on the double’. (Harrison, 29) If the men weren’t running or doing calisthenics, they learned to march. Most soldiers detested this constant exercise, especially in the humid summer months. They also had night marches were the men could not pause for water, food or sleep. Commanding officers often checked canteens to make sure soldiers didn’t take a sip. (Wukovits, 14) Also, the strict military life did not allow for any violations of rules. Commanding officers imposed strict penalties for any defiance, usually in the form of physical effort. The officers were trying to instill the fact that a mistake no matter the size could cost a soldier his life. Training usually lasted 10 hours and after an exhausting day, they still had to clean their rifles and their barracks. One soldier who endured the grueling training wrote to his family about it: The culmination of physical training was the requirement that the solder with the rifle and thirty pound pack, negotiate a 1500 foot obstacle course in three in a half minutes. Specific requirements were that he take off with a yell, mount an eight foot wall, slide down a ten foot pole, leap a flaming trench, weave through a water main, climb a ten foot rope, clamber over a five foot fence, swing by a rope across a seven foot ditch, mount a twelve foot ladder and descend to the other side, charge over a four foot breastwork, walk a twenty foot cat walk some twelve inches wide and seven feet off the ground, swing hand over hand along a five foot horizontal ladder, slither under a fence, climb another and cross the finish line in a sprint. (Wukovits, 17) Combat training attempted to recreate conditions soldiers would have to fight in. Life ammunition was used on obstacle courses to simulate battlefield conditions (Wukovits, 14). This was only done to prepare the soldier for combat and because of this a soldier could endure anything. The military food was even made to promote a healthy body with nutritional choices for the solider. The food that was fed to the solders was mean to keep them energized. Packed with 4000 calories a meal, they were very beneficial, however the taste. Soldiers carried packs with them just in case they had needed to eat in a situation where a kitchen wasn’t available. These kits contained enough food for a solder to eat and it met certain nutritional requirements. Their meal consisted of: caned meat bread and peas and some kind of dessert. They also had condiments, spices and other necessitates. It was also in the soldier’s best interest to eat what was given to him. If the soldiers ate what they were supposed to they wouldn’t have felt tired during the combat. The new weapons technology took away much of the physical labor in the battle field. Of course the soldiers themselves would argue that the effort it took to carry, assemble and disassemble such instruments was strenuous, but basic training should have prepared them for it. Hand operated weapons were effective when it came to the efficient elimination of human life. The improvement of flame throwing weapons was extremely deadly. The M-69 spewed gelatinized gasoline that stuck to targets and caused inextinguishable fires and soldiers flesh would incinerate. Also the bazooka and the PIAT (Projector Infantry Anti-Tank) became effective against tanks. Mines and booby traps hid underneath the ground at times even seasoned veterans could not tell where they were located. Also, spherical metallic balls called mines were hid in the soil underneath grass and twigs. Unsuspecting soldiers could have the explosion rip through them in an instant. Incendiary bombs were able to produce an intense fire when exploded. Veiled by surrounding terrain, snipers used opportunities to take shots at unsuspecting soldiers. There were many ways for a soldier to die in the battlefield and because of this many soldiers became helpless. Leinbaugh Campbell wrote, “[their] new-boy illusions of the past two days dissolved in a moment [when confronting battle]”(Wukovits, 27) The German S-mine or “Bouncing Betty” was intended to injure a soldier after the Germans realized that it took at least two men to carry wounded off the field. Planes became more advanced where they could hold more bombs as well as guns. Aircraft roaming the skies could easily spot and destroy enemy artillery units on the ground. (Wukovits, 58) Tanks weren’t much help to any side during the war. Although they were steel plated and thought to protect the inhabitants, they were slow and easily could be taken out by a PIAT. Bazookas and assault rifles made it easier to kill someone without being so close. (Wukovits, 56) Besides improvement in weapons, faster troop transportation made a rapid return to battle possible and supplies to be sent to troops faster. I understand that the horrors the solider faced were great, however I do not believe that it had anything to do with physical endurance. The physical weariness the men experienced was only an account to their not being able to sleep. Many men had nightmares of the war. Capt. Charles R. remembers a “persistent memory…possibly a result of longstanding strain or a feeling that on the basis of having to fight for every hedgerow the war would go on forever”(WWII, 168) Every soldier felt a fear of death, capture, torture or worse. The men underwent several psychological traumas and developed disorders like “shell shock” and “combat fatigue” but none of which had to do with any extreme physical stress. Shell Shocked soldiers posed a danger to other troops. As mention before, basic training was meant to cover the physical training but nothing could prepare the soldiers for what was coming next in the battle field. William Manchester describes his reaction of killing his first man. I shot him with a .45 and I felt remorse and shame. I can remember whispering foolishly, ‘I’m sorry’ and then just throwing up….I threw up all over myself. It was a betrayal of what I’d been taught as a child. (Military life 151) There is a mental limit inside every human being that cannot permit killing another human being. There are many ways to predict the onset of such distress. War doctors tried to lessen the impact of their mental devastation at first by shipping them back to the United States. Then they figured that by placing men in supportive units, they would be able to quickly counteract the disorder. However, mental barriers are hard to break. Many broke down and refused to continue. By making secret pacts with comrades, soldiers would agree to injure each other to escape the horrors of front line combat. Others would purposely walk into enemy fire or stick their bodies out of a trench to purposely get shot at. (History in Dispute, 50) War doctors predicted that a man could take no more than 120 days of combat before he broke down. ( SORCE?) The demands of conventional front-line combat did not approach the practical limits of human endurance. By 1945 soldiers weren’t feeling the effects of a lack of physical endurance. They had trained of war in basic training, it was the mental stress that caused the ominous fatigue that slowed the soldiers. more
