U.S. Marine Corps and Why does the Navy’s army need its own air force? Ehh. Things have changed - the emphasis is now on Special Forces for targeted missions to begin combat operations. The CIA SAD are the first combatants into any given theater nowadays, followed closely by units from the Special Forces from the various branches for specific, targeted strikes. The first conventional forces on the ground in both Afghanistan and Iraq were the Marines. |

Military training in the Hijaz during early Islamic era Umm. Arab tribalism is utterly unlike Native American tribalism, and the Rashidun army was recruited largely from urbanized and well established Arabian city-states, not mercenary nomads. |

Why is our planet called Earth? @jwenting - Standard mandarin isn't the native language of a very large section of Chinese speakers - and there are a ton of Mandarin subdialect "mother tongues." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… |

Has there ever been an attempted military takeover of a democracy in the western world? -1 Conspiracy theory masquerading as history for thinly veiled political reasons. Finland was never a dictatorship, and they fought the Red Army to a standstill in the Continuation War, too. |

What were Hispanic people called in the US in the 1800s? Disagree. Here in the Northeast, any Spanish speaking immigrant was known as Spanish, regardless of their country of origin - Spanish Harlem (actually Peurto Rican), the old Spanish Bakery in Providence (actually Dominican), etc - trying to run down something more definite. Will post an answer once I do. |
