	Operation Husky
		Operation Husky was the Allied invasion of the island of Sicily on 10 July, 1943 which started the Italian Campaign.
		In the early part of 1943, following the realisation that the invasion of France would be impossible that year, it was decided to use the troops from the recently won North African Campaign to invade the Italian island of Sicily.
		One of the reasons why the Germans had to cancel their offensive near Kursk was that they decided to send units to Italy after they received news of the invasion.

	Amicicide: the problem of friendly fire in modern war
		Almost every major operation in the Pacific Islands was punctuated by instances of misplaced friendly artillery fire, the usual problems of weather, terrain, and troop location being further complicated by the presence of both Army and Marine Corps units and the frequent use of naval gunfire, which demanded increased coordination.
		This was the result of a transposition of the target grid coordinates during telephonic transmission of the fire mission between the tactical operations center (TOC) of the infantry division artillery and the operations center of the firing artillery battalion and a subsequent failure to double-check the elements-of the fire request.
		Operation QUEEN clearly demonstrated that the effectiveness of close air support was contingent upon the confidence of ground troops in their air support and a willingness of comman

		The theory that there is somehow or other a body of law, deducible by the pure reason, and yet capable of overriding or determining the 'law proper,' is his great example of ontological 'jargon' and 'fustian.'

		Divines have done nothing by preaching, but intellectual movement has operated in 'three leading ways.'(50*) The discoveries of gunpowder, of free trade principles, and of the application of steam to travelling have produced the peaceable tendencies, which, in Buckle's day, were apparently so near a final triumph.
		Let us fully grant what I hope is true, that this corresponds to a truth; that the various forces which have brought men together may ultimately conduce to peace; and, moreover, that the discoveries of science are among the ultimate conditions of the most desirable of all changes.
