The big ass shoes hit me the hardest. Not only is your home, family, and peace of mind gone, but you have to deal with giant floppy shoes and blisters.

>Buy war bonds!

I wonder who was behind this?

The US government, who was in the middle of the Korean War?

>he doesn't know about war profiteers

good goy

>he inserts his political views into places where they are irrelevant or nonsensical, and then argues for the sake of arguing

(April 1961) A Soviet Antarctic expedition is isolated with a single doctor. This doctor, (Leonid Rogozov), finds himself having severe pain, he discovers he has appendicitis. He decides to operate on himself rather than wait for his own death. He discards the use of a mirror after the flipped perspective proves to be a hindrance, and proceeds with the surgery by touch only. Two weeks later he fully recovers.

(1967) A vietcong soldier fought off American troops for three days, all while holding his insides inside a cooking bowl. Here, an American soldier offers his enemy clean water as a sign of respect for his courage in combat.

(July 1945) The Empire State building after a B-25 bomber crashes into the building due to low visibility. This event sparked design concerns for skyscrapers to withstand airplane crashes.

(December 25th 1942) Young Serbian Partisan, Slavoljub “Slava” Ković, was no older than 17 before being captured defending his homeland. Nazi SS officers torture him, carve his face, and photograph him before executing him. Ković refused to give the Nazis any information on the partisans, instead he proclaims, “Beat me, kill me, victory is ours!”

(June 22nd 1942) Stjepan Filipovic is executed for being a partisan against the invading Germans. He screams “Death to fascism, freedom to the people!” immediately before he is killed. For his efforts, Yugoslavia recognizes Filipovic as a national hero after the war ends.

If anyone is interested, I have up through a60 w/ stories, I don't want to post to a dead thread tho
