Well if we know it's not a multiple choice poll, it is inside information - probably delivered on a need to know basis.

Much of what is going on in that region is covert. Military operations in Afghanistan have been greatly downsized since the onset of the conflict, when we were rounding up the Taliban.

Since you are in a military mood, yesterday was the anniversary of what invasion?

Tougher one, why did Hitler, despite signing a pact with the Soviet Union, attack Russia?

Why did they call Rommel the "desert fox."

What British general took on Rommel successfully in North Africa?

What port was the logical choice for the invasion on D-Day?

How many beachheads were secured on D-Day?

Please write back with any military questions, but I must admit that WWII interests me the most.
