You could ask them about how perceptions of women changed (how they viewed themselves as well as how others came to view them) as they scrambled to fill the domestic job openings left by the men who went off to fight overseas.\n\nAlso, did s/he feel compelled to take a "patriotic" job with the defense industry or something that benefited the nation's war effort?  If s/he didn't, why not?  If s/he did, what did the person end up doing?  Did they feel they were helping out their country?\n\nDid they ever worry what might happen if their homeland got invaded (I'm assuming you're asking North Americans or UK people)?  Would they have been ready to take up whatever arms they had and try to repel the invasion, even if there wasn't much hope?\n\nAfter the war started, how long did they think it would take to end?\n\nWas rationing effective or did too many people just gyp the system in one way or another (bribery, hoarding, etc.)?\n\nWhat sacrifices did they make so that they could help out the soldiers?\n\nDid they buy war/liberty bonds?  Did they worry about the massive federal deficits?\n\nHope this helps out.

I don't think these people realize that the military originally told the family that he was killed by enemy fire.  And then continued to tell them that even after all of this was known.  Only recently did they tell the family the truth.

I definately feel that the soldiers who protect and serve our country have a better sense of what the word freedom means. The sacrifices that soldiers have endured have allowed them to understand that freedom is not free. None of us civilians could ever come close to knowing exactly what the cost is. We have people that are very opinionated as far as this war goes and seem to have all kinds of bad opinions to throw out there and it just makes me stop and wonder if they gave any thought to what you guys go through on a daily basis. If they did I feel that they would'nt be so quick to run their mouths. You guys are giving 100% of your lives and this is even when you're not in combat. I don't believe that people grasp that. A friend in the guards once told me that when dealing with ignorant comments about our military that I should just come back at them with the question " did you serve your country today or sit on your azz and let someone else do it for you? " . We can watch the news and feel for what you may be enduring over there but none of us can say that we fully understand unless we have been there. In my opinion the only people other than the soldiers that could even come close to understanding is the families who have lost a soldier. I'll never forget a conversation that I had with another friend of mine. He was in Iraq serving as a piolot for the army and I had sent him some pics of a deer that my brother had shot this hunting season and as polite as he could he told me to tell my brother congrats on the nice buck but after being over there and watching so many deaths that he could'nt enjoy hunting anymore because he had earned a new respect for life and death. That even in the case of deer hunting he could never kill one and not think about what he had just taken. Noone sees this side of you guys too often and at that moment I realized just how hard you guys have it ........not just physically but more important emotionally. So my answer to your question would definately be a yes.

No.  If you remember your history, that was carried out by a real army and not terroists.

I have not seen one, but the British Army does have a soldier support web site. I linked it below for you. Thanks for your support.

I used to roll my eyes at the military. I used to spew uneducated nonsense about how our country was a terrible place to live, and that I wanted to live someplace that was actually free. That was before I realized that soldiers sacrafice so much of their own freedom in order to make our country a great place to live. Thank you for giving your life to make all of us "civilians" free. Happy Father's Day, Big C!" You're doing a wonderful Job!

I will give you an eyewitness statement. First, I'm not from Texas (I'm a Tar Heel!!! - GO NC!!), second I'm not in the National Guard, I'm active duty. Now the account, I served with an active duty battalion that was assigned 2 National Guard companies - one was from Kansas and one was from Texas. They were truck companies, and both saw heavy action. On a side note, I found both units to be extremely professional in their duties. Neither shirked from any mission assigned to them and had an amazing "Can Do" attitude. If I had any negative comments about the Guard units I have served with - they are minor. I found they had a bit of a height/weight and PT shortcoming, but they more than made up for that with their Mission First attitude. My BC had a board in his office/tent with a collection of all the Guard patches of units we had run into over there. I don't recall a single state missing from his board - we even had a couple territory patches (Guam and PR). So whoever posted that on a Yahoo Board is simply giving into conspiracy BS and once again, as they almost always seem to be - are yapping away and have NEVER spent a day. Isn't it curious how the folks who seem to to come up with this crap have a mysterious lack of service to go along with their tripe?

I've seen them in my local library and they're also selling them at my work - they are out there.\n\nI don't see what problem people have with remembering the suffering that soldiers endured during two world wars, it doesn't seem very pro-war to me?

I have been thinking that way for a long time. there are some dodgy questions being asked. a couple i have seen, How Many Exactly US troops in Iraq.How do you get to a certain navel station. How many tanks has US got in Iraq. Do you know when a certain Division is about to be moved over to Iraq. these are just some of the ones i think are suspicious.

Erm...if you want really detailed and true story...\nI suggest you to go back in time (laughs) but since so far we aren't capable of it yet, so your best shot is at archives(arkib) and going to the site and asking the locals is worth a shot and you can also try at the library but you can't actually get the full list of soldiers and people who are involved because that is like impossible even if you get the recruits names from that specific place but you must know that there are others like villagers that helped too...If you want every of their names...i think its not possible because they are villagers and their name are not recorded anywhere...\nAnd if you want the all that are involved, do you count the people that did petit jobs like maybe lke the person who cooked for the men before they fight...You see what i mean?\nAs for the dates, times, i am sure you can get from the national archives or national library...

It is true!  My brother is a soldier and told me of this when he was working with the Americans in Kosovo.  Also they have cards for recognising enemy and friendly vehicles.  Obviously they pay a lot of attention to these.

Here is what a reviewer on Amazon has to say on the topic.\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000069HSP/102-7802541-0853764?v=glance&n=130\n\n"As for accuracy to what occurred, a group of soldiers that were there appeared on The History Channel's "Hollywood vs History" program and they concurred that it was 75-80% factual. 20 - 25% Hollywood. That's probably a good ratio indeed."

I found some sites with information about a John Willey. I hope at least one of these is the soldier you are looking for.
