Military life has given me so many opportunities. I was stationed in South Korea and Germany twice, which gave me so much knowledge about the Korean and German cultures. Because nightlife in Germany begins at 10 in the evening and ends at five in the morning, it felt as if I was doing two jobs at a time, apart from my work as a U.S. Army Aviation maintenance instructor. It was fun but tiring, thus now, my life is the schoolhouse where Sergeants and Staff Sergeants are my students as I teach about supervising and inspections of maintenance criteria.

Following the Napoleonic wars, there was a gentlemen’s agreement between both Britain and the French empire to largely stay out of one another’s way. Nevertheless, they still nearly came to blows on a number of occasions during the 19th century. Yet, the British and French Empires gradually came to see one another as potential allies, even if not as close friends. This relationship benefited both powers in very material ways. Both were concerned about the increasingly aggressive nature of Germany and the alliances it was forming, as well as the rising power of Russia under the Czar. ...

For a long time now since the so called independence which was attained from the imperial powers, the African, Asian and Latin America working and the majority masses have continually experienced deprivation and untold suffering.
