May 20	comment	The effects of war on the workforce I'll defer to statistics and discuss it with my girlfriend. I'm skeptical that the number killed is a significant fraction of the total workforce. Prior to research, my hypothesis would be that the effect on workforce would be within the elasticity of the size of the workforce. Although the war will have an effect on the workforce, I would estimate that it would be fairly small.
May 20	comment	What is the origin of current indian brahmins Which resources do you find confusing? Brahmins are a class (Jati-varma) of scholars. They didn't invade anyone.
May 20	comment	Eastern and Southern Europe in the medieval time period? Nothing I said touches on Guelph/Ghibelline/party soldiers. OP said "I've never heard for example of Italian knights "; I merely agreed with you that prior to the invention of "Italy" in the 1870's, the knights would not have been "Italian" knights.
May 20	comment	The effects of war on the workforce Be careful and check those assumptions. As I said, my girlfriend's reasearch indicates that the increased female participation in the workforce has been vastly overstated. Women shifted from leisure and service sectors to industrial/military production sectors - but that was true of both geneders.
May 20	comment	Parable of the broken window and 1929 crisis (stack exchange chatrooms don't work for those of us with federated ID's. It requires a good half hour of work to get into a chat room)
May 20	comment	Eastern and Southern Europe in the medieval time period? You make a very important point - one of the chief reasons one doesn't hear about "Italian knights" is that there was no Italy. There were Venetian Knights, and participants from the Papal states, and the Kingdom of Sicily is well represented in the period. But there was no Italy until the 1870's. Well done.

May 20	answered	U.S. Marine Corps and Why does the Navy’s army need its own air force?
May 20	comment	U.S. Marine Corps and Why does the Navy’s army need its own air force? The Marine corps existed before the Navy; it is the oldest of the US armed services. The real question should be why do we need an air force when we have a Marine Corp? (No disrespect to my friends in light blue suits). This question fails the "wikipedia test", but it is interesting, so I'll provide an answer later.
May 20	comment	Parable of the broken window and 1929 crisis Broken window parable has recently become popular in part because of the implications for technical debt and cyber security
May 20	comment	Parable of the broken window and 1929 crisis @Arnaud - you're correct that in theory any government spending can stimulate, but I thought your question was whether in 1938 it was military spending that "closed the 1929 crisis". I'm not sure that any stimulus is = broken window parable; I've usually encountered broken window in the context of technical/societal debt. If the government had spent $$ on education on the grounds that the US education system was broken and needed fixing, that might fit the constraints, but that isn't history.

May 17	revised	Why the resurgence of Islamic powers in the middle east in the past three decades? Spelling, grammar, clarity. Edits do not indicate agreement with any of the positions expressed within.
May 17	comment	Did the United States have a third atomic bomb to drop on Japan? This question begins with an unsourced assertion that is contentious and unproven. SE works best if you ask realistic, fact based questions that can be answered by historical research, and avoid provocation, disputation and argument. I'll upvote if you rewrite the question to focus on what you want to know.
