And try to answer any war questions and make question you want to get answered by others so you can get a higher rank.

Here's a question that's really been Nagging at me: Do you think that the War in Iraq was Needed or was it just an excuse for Bush to finish what his dad started?

I'm not sure if it was NEEDED but I think it's not a bad thing saddam is out of Iraq. Nonetheless I think we're cleaning up the world...sorta.

Also Here's another question. What do you think was the most important War ever fought? Also if the outcome was diffrent in the War what would it be like today? I really want to know what it'd be like if the Nazi's won World War 2. I can't even imagine it!

Not so sure about what America would be like,if just Germany won we wouldn't be affected much because we're across the pond on a different continent. Now if all the Axis powers won then we would be totally not having this conversation right now...maybe.

I'll start off with this topic, Which battle from World War II do you think was most important? I'm saying that the Battle of Stalingrad is the one for me. Because if USSR lost to the Nazis, then the Nazis could have marched to Moacow and win that battle, if there was one. I know a lot of people might say this but I think D-Day was the most important. It was the tunring point of the War. I had 2 Grandpa's in the War. One was in D-day and the other was parachuting at another area.

(different tone) Hell no, we would didn't. Good thing Hitler killed him before the war ended.

Well i would disagree as most off the Reichs warMachine was situated in Eastern Front. Infact the Armies of occupied (and collabarating) France were in some cases garrisoned by Hitler youth.
And The Whermact stationed there could be considered precursors to the Volkstraum.
And German High Command and the SS where constantly withdrawing supplies from the Western front to create new SS divisons.
So they where weakening there Vetearns to give the Hitlarite Militia more toys in that respect.
I will say that D Day helped but by that time the Reich was already collapsing.

I like watching the war movies that have a good story like Platoon and Flags of our Fathers. Also I got a question: When did the Sino-Japanese War happened?

The year was 1894 when it happened.

How much land did Alexander the Great got during his conquest? Yes the Spainsh Civil War began in 1936, 3 years before WWII started. Alexander the Great conquer the lands of Egypt, Persia (present-day Iraq & Iran), and all the way to the eastern part of India.

Here's a question that I want answered. It has to do with Israel.: One day The president of Iran said he wanted to wipe Israel of the Face of the Earth. Do you think he'll follow up on his threat or is it just a white lie? I really hope it is.
