Declaration/Response


       It seems as though The United States were calmer than the German goverment. Based on these wordles, to me, it seems as though U.S was more focused on the people and restoring order as the Germans were focused on alliances, blockades, and  submarienes. Based on the words it seemed that Germany was mad and assumed the United States was arrogent for having sided with England.

10/4 Good Buddy

Dying within the first two seconds of playing this game shows me it's not so easy. Dogfighting as air to air combat seems rediculous. Not only because it seemed as if you had to be mad to shoot someone in another plane because you knew the outcome, but also because of yourself. You'd have to be crazy to think I would get into a plane, fly a few miles, and begin to let someone shoot at me while I was shooting at them. Although "that's the war for ya" I still find it hard to believe this actually happened. I know it did, it's just hard to believe. Could you imagine risking your life in such a way? Knowing the plane will blow up! Knowing you will die! I have respect for everyone who risked and some who lost their lives taking on such a risky task.

Quick and Easy? Ehh, not so much.

As of 2010 people communicate through multiple sites and sources; Facebook, Twitter, email, Myspace, text, phone calls, Skype, etc. We've got it easy! In today's world we can set up our accounts on our phones, get notifications texts, and see each other on webcam. Back in the time of WWl, they waited and they prayed for a single letter from someone who cared. There was no technology back in the day, nothing for people to set up or create, no one heard a ding in their pocket telling them "You've got mail". Waiting week to week was agony for some soldiers. Depending on where they are located changed the amount of time it took them to recieve the letter. I would not want to wait to hear from someone who meant something to me. I am greatful for the technology that is established today.
