My Comments:
Wow! So some of the pictures were really graphic, but I guess that’s what the media used for propaganda against the Germans, saying that they were barbarians and animals. Hitler looked completely different when he was a colonel with that long mustache, compared to the one when he became a diplomat and caught up in politics with his idealism about anti- Semitism. The poison gas article was interesting about being used in stalemate and how prior to World War 1 it was considered improper. The casualties got pretty high everywhere, but the death in Russia was huge compared to everywhere else. World War 1 must have been a pretty scary time to live during. And the damage to land during this war looked insurmountable! The trenches built all around Passchendaele and Ypres made the areas look like deserted mangles of dirt and shrubs. It all looked pretty ugly.

That article was pretty interesting. So many new things that our past history teachers DIDN'T teach us when we were younger. I guess they thought it was trivial, but the fact that Stafford could hold that many troops(120000) is pretty cool.

*Patawomecks and their fight for recognition*
I think it must be hard for the people that want recognition for the tribe because they have to go through all those processes and never get anywhere. Where would we be today if the Patawomecks hadn't settled here? There wouldn't probably be a Stafford! And it shows that the colonists didn't treat the Indians that well, even that when they helped the colonists. Also, about the digging up the bones of the old tribe, I think that if they want to display them as maybe a memory to them, then maybe it's not so bad as some think. However, it's great that Green is trying to at least try to get the Patawomecks recognized. I think that we need to realize that these people are a part of our country just as much as we are and deserve the right to be recognized.
