Posted byadmin1,062 Comments on Memorial Day, Remembering The Fallen, Part 2




Regardless of the fact, if U.S. decision to go to war was right or wrong, world war two was the most sorry event in human history. Unfortunately the death and other toll due to World War Two is usually reported like number. We need to understand that when we say sixty million, we mean sixty million human beings, just like you me. They were living and breathing people with families, neighbors and friends, co-workers. Most experts believe, if there will be a Third World War, it is going to be far more deadlier and destructive, since, the weapons of mass destruction are now lot more destructive and widely spread and held. Sixty million people were killed. An estimated 3.17 to 4.00% of world population died in war or as a consequence of war. U.S. casualties were 418,500. Death toll was as high as 16.7% of Poland’s population. Total deaths in Third Reich were as high as 8.0 to 10.5%. The death rate of Soviet citizens in German military was as high as 27.0%. U.S.S.R. lost about 13.5% and Belarus lost 25.3% of it’s population. There were 11 to 17 million people, who died due to systematic murders done by Nazis, 6 million of them were Jews (Holocaust). 4.5 to 8.2 million Russian civilians were the victims of Nazi killings. 2.7 to 3 million Jews were killed only in Poland. Roma deaths were between 130,565 to 285,650, with 26,000 to 90,000, only in Yugoslavia.

The historian Chalmers Johnson has written that “the Japanese slaughtered as many as 30 million Filipinos, Malays, Vietnamese, Cambodians, Indonesians and Burmese, at least 23 million of them ethnic Chinese.  There were 14,657 deaths among the total 130,895 western civilians interned by the Japanese due to famine and disease.

The deaths of 400,000 civilians deported during the Soviet annexations in 1939–40 are included with World War II casualties.
Russian sources list Axis Prisoner of war deaths of 580,589 in Soviet captivity. However some western scholars estimate the total at between 1.7 and 2.3 million.

American corpses sprawled on the beach of Tarawa. The Marines secured the island after 76 hours of intense fighting with around 6,000 dead in total from both sides together. The Pacific war claimed the lives of more than 100,000 US military personnel (Source: Wikipedia).

Wikipedia article, World War II casualties, also reports that “Civilians killed totaled from 40 to 52 million, including 13 to 20 million from war-related disease and famine. Total military dead: from 22 to 25 million, including deaths in captivity of about 5 million prisoners of war.”

POW deaths includes 266,000 in the post war period after June 1945, primarily in Soviet captivity;;.

  3. Soviet sources list the deaths of 474,967 of the 2,652,672 German Armed Forces POW taken in the War.

USSR

This leaves 1,103,000 POW dead. However, western historians put the number of POW held by the Germans at 5.7 million and about 3 million as dead in captivity (in the official Russian figures 1.1 million are military POW and remaining balance of about 2 million are included with civilian war dead).
  6. Conscripted reservists is an estimate of men called up, primarily in 1941, who were killed in battle or died as POWs before being listed on active strength. Soviet and Russian sources classify these losses as civilian deaths.

In short war is “the dirtiest” game. Once started, nobody knows who will survive and who will be the victim. You may be directly involved or totally unrelated, doesn’t matter. You may be a military personal or a civilian, makes no difference, in practical sense. You may be killed just because who you are or how you look like. Hence, the original question is still unanswered. Did we have to get involved in all of this? Isn’t it amazing that almost seventy years later, we are still looking for the answers to very basic questions.

Back in the 18th and 19th centuries, every American who could read and write (and probably most of those who couldn’t), knew we were a republic.

No longer are backlinks and simply pinging or sending out a RSS feed the key to getting Google PageRank or Alexa Rankings, You now NEED On-Page SEO. So what is good On-Page SEO?First your keyword must appear in the title.Then it must appear in the URL.You have to optimize your keyword and make sure that it has a nice keyword density of 3-5% in your article with relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article.Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword….wait there’s even more Now what if i told you there was a simple WordPress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you? That’s right AUTOMATICALLY, just watch this 4minute video for more information at. WordPress Seo Plugin

  53. The short answer is that you cannot run a non-profit organization if it would compete with a for-profit organization. That doesn’t mean that you can run a non-profit organization simply because your business doesn’t make money. . . The only incentive of a non-profit status is being tax exempt. Since Alaska doesn’t have any taxes to speak of there is very little incentive for you to pursue this. For-profit corporations are allowed to pursue grants etc.. . Additionally, non-profits have to be ran like a corportation. They cannot be ran by proprietors. This means you need a board of directors etc that have to be voted in and after a couple of years the corporation is running in a way that you never intended.. . When you are financing anything, you cannot normally (legally) borrow money for the downpayment. It is supposed to be YOUR money that is offered as your stake in the “risk” of the transaction. Since this is an owner-financed opportunity offer him something else, like a lower buy-in in exchange for more money for him later.

  55. What a fantastic globe we all reside in right? I mean there are some really bad individuals, yet as this publish shows there is several remarkable individuals and things applying be proud of.

  57. The best thing about penny stocks is that they are relatively cheap, this allows the guy on the street some action on the stock market. Its also a lot of fun trading penny stocks, more so than boring normal shares where you just keep them for a long time hoping they go up in value.

  58. Wow that was odd. I just wrote an really long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t appear. Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again. Anyways, just wanted to say excellent blog!

  59. Useful info. Fortunate me I discovered your web site by accident, and I’m surprised why this coincidence did not came about earlier! I bookmarked it.

  61. I do enjoy the way you have framed this problem plus it does indeed give me personally a lot of fodder for thought. Nevertheless, from everything that I have personally seen, I basically hope when other feedback stack on that folks remain on issue and not start upon a tirade regarding some other news of the day. Anyway, thank you for this superb point and while I do not really go along with it in totality, I regard the viewpoint.

  67. Hey, I really hope you take a second to read this because you might be in trouble and I’m trying to raise awareness, no bull. Have you noticed that your browser is slow or it has random delays? Has your computer slowed down since you bought it (especially in the last few weeks)? Norton released an article of a new virus that’s been running around and causing mayhem, called “LORD ganesh”. You really wanna get that cleaned because it could put all of your important files at risk. I just checked my computer and I had 3 hidden trojans lurking in my boot sector. Scary stuff!! I cleaned them using: http://sn.im/speedupyourcomputer and my computer is definitely a LOT faster today than it has been for the last few months. I hope that helps, have a great day!
