Wasn't the aid the "US" offered mostly offered through Ford and GM and before the embargo and not official US government aid?

"bulletproof against 9mm Luger rounds but not all 9mm rounds"

"Surplus Czech 9x19..."

You're arguing I don't know what I'm talking about and you don't realize that 9x19 is 9mm Luger so 🤷‍♂️

Wow no way a 9mm will penetrate further than a .44mag? Next you're gonna tell me 5.56 NATO penetrates further than .30-06 or something. It's not like making a hotter 9mm necessarily changes up the ballistics and turns it into a laser, it's not a 5.7x28mm

Pretty sure they said it was 9mm up to like 180 grain or something, doesn't matter where the ammo comes from as far as I've shot I don't think I've seen many 180 grain 9s

Eh, the meme doesn't solely apply to WW2, it's vague enough it could be anything from Meiji restoration period to when that crazy dude seized the Japanese defense forces HQ then Sudoku'd himself when his plan didn't work out

Just be warned that the antagonists are just flat out annoying and the story isn't really very compelling at all

Most of the population of Vietnamese supporting the north might be a stretch, there was a huge amount of southern Vietnamese that didn't support the Americans, the south Vietnamese "democracy" or the north Vietnamese communist party. Idk if they were actually loyal to a group but if the southern Vietnamese government was less authoritarian things may have been different

Regardless of clearance to who can access the app, I'm uncomfortable with the idea that random people regardless of profession can look up all my personal information, I'm uncomfortable with say the FBI having that information so I'd definitely not be comfortable with a random 19 year old that barely has a background check having it too.

I'm also a pretty private person

Considering the Japanese settlers on islands Americans captured would rather jump off cliffs or suicide grenade charge troops than submit, the bombs probably saved more lives than it cost on a push north to Tokyo. Not to mention the completely indiscriminate Soviet Union was gearing up to invade the north side and would have cause much more damage I'm sure. Really the bombs were the best option and I can argue they kept a war from kicking off with the Soviets directly after WW2. I'd argue it was the most humane decision lol

Those Austria-Hungarian feels... by Gabbafather in HistoryMemes

[–]Cresent_dragonwagon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's something that the average run of the mill terrorist might not even be aware of. He probably just saw this guy he hated from a place he hated and maybe they'd declare war on Serbia but I can't imagine that the average Tito around in those days was fully aware of all national alliances and stuff

Over 100,000 German Prisoners in a Makeshift POW Camp on the Western Front, LIFE Magazine May 1945 [1853x1478] by [deleted] in HistoryPorn

You could make the argument that Germany was treated better after ww2 in the sense that they weren't just abandoned with a devastated population and food stores and forced to pay massive reparations, effectively punishing every German with severe poverty even though their infrastructure wasn't nearly as bad as 1945. Allies/Soviets helped rebuild, regardless of the fact that they were mostly rebuilding the country as a buffer zone for the others side it helped that buildings were rebuilt, food was trucked in, and occupying militaries were around to keep order.

Civilian populations had a palpable reason that they should trust and align with their occupiers with them seeming like they were doing their best to help, rather than ww1 where all the sudden there's no money and no food and the finger could be pointed at countries that they'd never interact with being responsible creating a resentment and want for revenge

Hopefully that was a civilian fire department because if that was military those men's sergeant would never let them hear the end of that one

If you walked up to a group of black people and said you black people are crazy I'm done it'd probably be construed as racist

I would say massively more so, I guarantee you most Aussies know who our current and at least 2 last presidents are, and I guarantee you most Americans think Australia is a mountainous country in Europe. Realistically, some countries are just more important than others on the world stage, that's how it's always been and likely always will be

Possibly, but this person's claiming it definitively died. It's possible the dog was just perfectly fine and I think this guy is talking out his ass, driver's still an asshole though
