>During World War II, the pathfinders were a group of volunteers selected within the Airborne units who were specially trained to operate navigation aids to guide the main airborne body to the drop zones. The pathfinder teams (sticks) were made up of a group of eight to twelve pathfinders and a group of six bodyguards whose job was to defend the pathfinders while they set up their equipment. The pathfinder teams dropped approximately thirty minutes before the main body in order to locate designated drop zones and provide radio and visual guides for the main force in order to improve the accuracy of the jump. These navigational aids included compass beacons, colored panels, Eureka radar sets, and colored smoke.[9]

They actually have an alphabet called Hiragana and another one that I forget the name of. I'm pretty sure the alphabet is used for computers and shit like that.

No. You might be able to get away with it legally though.

>so buttblasted he forms a separate special snowflake church

Truly a worthy heir of Luther

>>2721719
That was Rosenberg, not Hitler.

Hitler was a Catholic, he even declared himself so on the day he got married before he died.

>>2721714
He despised Christianity and believed that Paul was a Jewish trickster who distorted Christ's message.

The founding of the SAS is an exciting story, alot of daring-do, but they also perfected a tactical indendiary bomb they could use against aircraft

>what is Gnosticism

>>2721062

I almost mentioned Gnosticism just to keep people like you from bringing it up. I don't think it really matters, it isn't something that caught on very much. The vast majority of western religious adherents (Christian / Jew / Muslim) today don't subscribe to it.

>>2721053
No, see, given that Western religions don't come from India, and aren't surrounded by enormous piles of shit everywhere, we don't start with the notion that existence is a problem, because existence is pretty good.

He's right. Liberal arts/humanities degrees are fucking worthless. The people that get them now don't even contribute to society or the economy.

Here's some advice for you morons:
Either go STEM or ditch college and learn a trade. And by go STEM I mean stick with Engineering or Computer Science.

Otherwise you're wasting your time and money. Colleges should just be turned into pure vocational schooling anyway.

You should specifically mention the oil embargo, and its immediate provocation, the Japanese actions in French Indo-China.

I would also point out that the only known source of oil that Japan really had close access too was what's now Indonesia, and how that was a Dutch colony at the time, and there were significant worries that invading the DEI would necessarily lead to war with the U.S. At least explaining history to people on occasion, I often get the question asked why the Japanese thought attacking Hawaii would help them get things like oil and rubber.

You also might want to mention a very brief overview of mahanian theory, why Japan bought into it, and how they thought the war would be a short one, which is why they gambled so hard on a long range strike to knock out ships like they did.

>>2720887
Oil embargo, and that the Japanese couldn't get enough oil without invading the DEI (IIRC Burma had some but not enough, weren't willing to go after Russia after Zhukov kicked their face in at Khalkyn Gol). Invading the DEI required either going completely around the Philippines (leaving a bunch of American submarines based right in the middle of your only oil lifeline) or invade them too.

Don't forget the need to score decisive victories early to drive the Americans to the negotiating table, which is why they went for Pearl and later Midway. Going on a 'muh kantai kessen' tangent might be useful, but probably isn't necessary.

>>2720887
You should probably give brief mention to how Japan pretty much immediately dropped their plan for a (likely successful) invasion of the Soviet Far East after the oil embargo was announced, because seizing the DEI was given top priority.

British, until the locals decide that they want to join Argentina.

British. If there were natives there that were displaced or genocided, as the British are wont to do, then Argentine might have a case. But there weren't, the Falklands were literally devoid of any human life. The Crown sent their people to live there in that barren land. The Falklands are and, contrary to most other British possessions, including Britain itself, have always been British
