Laos. From 1964 to 1975, the US dropped over 2 million tons of bombs, equating to over 250 million bombs/ordinances. By some estimates, this averages as: full plane load of bombs dropped on Laos every 8 minutes, 24 hours a day, for 9 years. After the official end of the US military campaigns, US bombs on the ground continued to kill dozens of people every year for decades; the bombs still maim today, as over 80 million unexploded bombs/munitions still remain on the ground in Laos.

Cambodia. Kissinger was architect of the "Secret War", which the US president initially tried to hide from the public. Beginning in 1969, the US dropped over 2 and a half million tons of bombs at over 112,000 sites; over 11,000 sites were bombed indiscriminately. Most estimates suggest that US bombing of Cambodia directly resulted in hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths. On 17 March 1969, when the president's office received news of the first bombings in Cambodia, Nixon's chief of staff wrote in his diary: "Historic day K's [Kissinger's] 'Operation Breakfast' finally came off at 2:00 pm our time.

Top Study Tips from NASA

Study smarter this school year! We asked scientists, engineers, astronauts, and experts from across NASA about their favorite study tips – and they delivered. Here are a few of our favorites:

Study with friends

Find friends that are like-minded and work together to understand the material better. Trading ideas with a friend on how to tackle a problem can help you both strengthen your understanding.

Create a study environment

Find a quiet space or put on headphones so you can focus. You might not be able to get to the International Space Station yet, but a library, a study room, or a spot outside can be a good place to study. If it’s noisy around you, try using headphones to block out distractions.

Take breaks

Don’t burn yourself out! Take a break, go for a walk, get some water, and come back to it.

the US war of independence was more about the worldwide conflict between the french and british colonial empires than it was about Freedom or Liberty. the US civil war was more about the competition of northern merchant-industrial capital and southern landed-agricultural capital than it was about Rights or Equality. wars aren't fought over ideology. of course those sentiments were real and existed, and of course no troops were actually charging into the battlefield out of personal love for one or the other segment of the bourgeoisie, but the sentiments supposedly behind these wars had existed long before the wars themselves came about. it was only when the actual centres of power wanted these wars that those sentiments and ideologies were able to come to the forefront. ideologies do not start wars, they are used to justify them. any benefit towards those ideologies is only coincidental insofar as it aligns with the real, material factors that create and maintain war. the US did not care about slaves, that much is clear from their antebellum treatment of black americans - they cared about slavery's economic effects, they cared about slaveowners
