Theirs is not to reason why, theirs is but to do and die

Self explanatory, isn't it? But you'll need to know a bit of history -
All the pictures are arranged in chronological order.
If you need more help,
Blog is D-Day, Profile is Market Garden, Links is Battle of the Bulge, Archives is Iwo Jima.(the one hidden behind this part)
And if you're wondering what it means, it's saying "It is right and fitting to die for your country.

Honestly. /12:43 AM

You're probably wondering why I have created this blog when I have a perfectly good blog somewhere else (I will leave the location undisclosed, because the trainer will be reading this blog and so will everyone else in Infocomm and I don't exactly like to share my blog addresses).
The thing is, my CCA, Infocomm, has decided that they would like to teach us blogging. Imagine a teacher not of the third "computer savvy" generation trying to teach us how to blog. That's like lecturing me on D-Day. (Of course, some of you might not know what D-Day is. And I'm not going to tell you, because if you ask me to tell you I'll still be rambling on about it nine days later.)
Anyway, you get my point. Teachers should not tell students how to blog. Why should we be learning about blogging anyway? It's not like we don't know how to. And you should've seen some people's blogs. Extravagant. Music everywhere. Interesting.
That reminds me. We're supposed to be putting up pictures and videos. But I have no idea how any picture or video would tie in with some random post like this, so why not I go on to my favourite topic and that way we'll be able to put in loads of pictures?
Let's see. First there's this thing about how WWII started. I don't suppose you want to know but if I don't tell you you just may fail your Sec 3 history. So I'm helping you guys.
WWII started unofficially on 1st September 1939 when Germany, with absolute surprise on their side, invaded Poland. Yay. Axis:1. Allies:0.
All the way through 1940 the desperate Allies fought back, but in the end even the Brits were driven from Dunkirk in the most amazing evacuation ever staged. Yay. Axis:2. Allies:0.
Over in Hawaii on December 7 1941 the Japs come and bomb Pearl Harbor. USS Arizona gets some forward magazine blown up and kills 1777 of her crew. About 2200 people die. Yay. Axis:3. Allies:0.
I'll continue this some other day. Let's just leave you with a quote and a picture.

This is Bernard Law Montgomery. You don't know him yet. I promise you'll get acquainted soon.
