1d	comment	Have any armies equipped/fed their officers and enlisted men equally? All the more remarkable then that they maintain this special relationship between officers and soldiers then. Also, unlike in the U.S. military, say, presumably you don't have to be a (French) citizen to become an officer :)
2d	comment	Have any armies equipped/fed their officers and enlisted men equally? +1 Do you know if officers enter the service as such (as is the case in other military formations) or whether they are promoted up from the ranks?
2d	revised	Have any armies equipped/fed their officers and enlisted men equally? added 10 characters in body
2d	comment	On the humorous presentations of history Why don't you try "On the humorous presentations of Physics" over at Physics StackExchange, say? This seems like a fairly generic question that is not specific to history at all. Nuff' said :)

2d	comment	Have any armies equipped/fed their officers and enlisted men equally? +1 for VG 1st question and welcome to the site.
May 23	reviewed	Leave Open What was the Nature of Resistance in 1938 Czechoslovakia?
May 23	comment	Are submarine launched ballistic missiles still inaccurate? +1 Nice first question. Thx and welcome to the site.

May 23	comment	How much did the Chinese Summer Palace cost to build? book announcement: this book (to be published in October 2013) may contain the answer ...
May 22	comment	How popular was Mozart in France before WWII and after it? Unfortunately I have only anecdotal information plus this to share a this time ...
May 21	comment	The role of the two world wars in the evolution of Fordism I think you should ask your teacher why he goes into such a little-heard-of theory as Fordism when covering economic theory instead of starting with the basics; if he is a good teacher, he'll be willing to explain and you'll be able to improve your question accordingly
May 21	comment	Was there discrimination against Jewish people at the entrance exams to the most prestigious universities in the USSR? @Anixx Yes, I see now: The table on p. 8 (40:6) seems to indicate actual discrimination of a gifted group. While it carries a bitter tone the paper is also interesting for its documentation of specific admission procedures on a high level in mathematics.
May 21	comment	Was there discrimination against Jewish people at the entrance exams to the most prestigious universities in the USSR? @FelixGoldberg I see, and so why did you flag my comment then? Anything wrong about it (in case you were referring to my comment in the first place -- I'm not certain, but after all it preceded your's)?
May 21	comment	Why did the Arabs start the 1973 War during Ramadan, and did it affect their performance? At least the information conveyed in the last sentence ("contact the professors of history in any Arabic university") cannot be true as it stands :) I am sure there must be some diversity of opinion also in this population and on this topic. Anyway, thanks for your effort.
May 21	comment	Was there discrimination against Jewish people at the entrance exams to the most prestigious universities in the USSR? @FelixGoldberg What does flagging a comment mean? (still learning about SE and not a native speaker :)
May 21	comment	U.S. Marine Corps and Why does the Navy’s army need its own air force? @Odysseus Thx -- VG stuff. Could you perhaps elaborate on these points in history in more details (as answer to this question, or I can also post a question with a wider scope if that helps.) Re modern version I can see how this is an unique advantage, also because you have all capabilities (including air capabilities) inside a single "silo".
May 20	revised	Epoch of an item marked with anchor symbol with the letters N and D edited tags
May 20	comment	Epoch of an item marked with anchor symbol with the letters N and D I though N.D. could be Nomen Domini ("name of the Lord"), but @RISwampYankee's version now sounds more convincing (also) to me.
May 20	comment	Was there discrimination against Jewish people at the entrance exams to the most prestigious universities in the USSR? How would questions with a "simple solution that is difficult to find" discriminate against Jews specifically? BTW, Grigori Perelman (he of Poincaré conjecture) is of Jewish descent and he studied in St. Petersburg.
