Germany's big screw over

I feel really bad for Germany. I mean wither or not it was Germany's fault in starting the war, Germany didn't deserve that harsh of a punishment. All oversea colonies were taken from Germany's possession the coaling mine region was taken from them by France. Not to mention Germany is not allowed to join the league of nations because of the treaty.

League of Failures

I will never understand why the league of nations was formed in the first place. I understand that it was created in order to create a balance or authority over the world but even still the guy Woodrow Wilson, the person who created the League of Nations refused to even participate in it. Not only that the countries that were a part of it were weakened greatly from WWI so they couldn't financially support themselves as well as the whole world. Not to mention the fact they could barely keep other countries from going to war with each other like with Italy and Albania in 1923.

Band of Brothers Reflections

Sense I was already a big WWII junkie even before I read the novel, most of the stuff I read in that book came to no big surprise. However what I have learned is the harsh boot camp training all the recruits had to suffer through. The drill instructors were really harsh and brutal not to mention the fact that almost everyone hated their guts. I wonder if the same thing is happening to modern day soldiers in boot camps or if their policy has changed at all?
