Theodora,

I wondered what that was. I’m 50 years old and have never seen one of those.

Fun fact, the germans and the french have started BOTH world wars. They are fighting yet again today.

Valeri, Check your facts. You are very wrong. The Germans invaded Poland when WW2 started. All our countries fought in that war. Britain and France declared war against Germany.

Polio? Obviously.

#34 Not very exciting propaganda. Nixon was a blatant traitor to the United States and he knew it. He kept the war going for money killing twice as many Americans as had already died in Vietnam. His military started desperately carpet bombing South Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, killing millions and still lost. He was scum and so was everybody that helped him. Like those dirt bags Wolfowitz, Cheney and their CIA creeps. And Bush 2 was stupider than hell and let them destabilize the middle east by attacking Iraq, wasting a trillion dollars and f-ing the economy in 2008.

If you've never heard of a "blood chit" before, it's basically a card, patch, or other item kept or sewn on a soldier in the event that they crash their plane or end up incapacitated somewhere. Whoever finds the soldier can read the patch, where the same message is printed in many languages: "I am a citizen of the United States of America. I do not speak your language. Misfortune forces me to seek your assistance in obtaining food, shelter and protection. Please take me to someone who will provide for my safety and see that I am returned to my people. My government will reward you."
