Hi I usually read military,autobiography,biography & history books. I want to buy a Batman comic book & I heard that Frank Miller wrights good Batman books. I did check out some Batman comic books at Boarders but some are cartooning & is too PG. Is there a Batman comic book similar like Watchmen,300 & it has little graphic novel & that has at least 60 pages or more. Thanks!

Batman: The Killing JOke – It was co-written by Alan Moore who also cowrote The Watchmen…alas it is only 64 pages, Joker is the main theme in this one

Batman: No Man’s Land – a story arc of 5 volumes where Gotham is in complete shambles and everyone is left to fend for themselves. I stronlgy recommend this one. Altogether over 1000 pages

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns – This is one by Frank Miller and it is one of my favorite graphic novels. about 244 pages…

I am a free market conservative thinker. However, I think the US government should drill, refine and supply their own oil for military uses only (without buying it on the open market); essentially nationalizing oil for military consumption. Would this have the effect of helping to reduce the price of a barrel of oil?

No, it is more cost effective to buy the oil needed via the market where it is being done realitively effeciently.

For the military to do it it self, would require buying land where the oil is, then training people to drill it, then you need to build an oil refinery, and have trained workers operating the wells and the refineries as well as transporting the goods. All items already being done by a private market, and as you train those workers you have to pay them enough to not head off to the private sector; or you are talking out sources all the work which really is what you are already doing by buying it on the free-market anyway.

But note when you here them talking about taping into the strategic oil reserve, As the name implys it is suppose to be just that a Strategic reserve capable of providing the oil needed to operate our military in a time of conflict should supplys become interupted. It was not intended for the politicians to make worthless attempts at disturbing free-market pricing, when there isn’t enough to make any real impact on prices anyway, but makes nice little sound bite speeches to act like they can. They might cause the price at the pump to drop by a penny or two for a few weeks though, Oh but then if supplys get interupted I guess we just out of luck on filling the needs of our military.

Note at the onset of the program the gov’t did manage the reserves more itself, but the program has moved even further away from that, more to fully private leasing

It has to be at least 150 pages and i want an war book that is a good but no halo books
plzzz no books about WW2

THE DYING PLACE by David Maurer,THE THIRTEENTH VALLEY by John M DelVecchio, and THE PRISONERS OF QUAI DONG by Victor Kolpakoff; all about Vietnam.

i need to do a presentation on a topic relating to world war two and thought this might work so i want to see if i have enough information to do this…please give sources.

in ww2 dogs were used to sniff out bombs and enemy soldiers. the military still uses dogs for this.

I’m looking for a good book on camouflage and need some help.

Thanks

There are several books (even pictorals) that have what you’re looking for on Amazon. Here’s the link to one of them. You can read the reviews and get other ideas from the "people who bought this book also bought this book" section.

I’ve also included links from "how stuff works: military camouflage."
I remember watching a science show on how they find out what works best for the different purposes camo is used for.

I need a source like a cite because its for an essay

When the wicked came against me
To eat up my flesh,
My enemies and foes,
They stumbled and fell.
Though an army may encamp against me,
My heart shall not fear;

I’m having a hard time trying to get in to the Marines just because of a misdemeanor. So I honestly doubt that any US military branch allows people with felonies or even just people with gang related tattoos join. The recruiter even said they don’t allow those kinds of things.

Teach military tactics to gang members? Is this your paranoia or is it what you’ve heard from a recruiter? Gang members don’t teach military tactics and even if they did it’s not like they’re going to conspire against the U.S. government.

What are some of the best ones that you guys have read?

Across Five Aprils
Red Badge of Courage

okay im doing a skool prject and need ur help!
what were the key events leading the outbreak of world war two?

World War II started in September 1st 1939. Germany decided that it would be a good idea to invade Poland. Poland didn’t provoke the Germans but their attack was inevitable.

That’s one of the main points but go research here ====>http://www.worldwar-2.net/index.htm
