European armies were traditionally fueled by conscripts—men who were pulled unwillingly away from their homes and families to serve at their king or dictator’s pleasure until the war ended, or they died, as likely from disease as from a wound.

America has always been different. Until 1863, our soldiers had always been volunteers. Even after the introduction of the draft, volunteers were always considered a better sort of soldier, superior to the conscript, as well as to the professional soldier. Part of that dates to Washington’s belief in the Citizen Soldier who, when the war ended, would return to his proverbial plow.

20^th Century Volunteers

Throughout the early part of the 20^th century, American Volunteers fought in wars around the world. American volunteers flew in the Lafayette Escadrille as part of the French air forces. Americans in the American Field Service drove ambulances and tended the wounded. Following the War, Americans joined Polish forces as they fought to keep the Russians from taking their freedom, and formed the Kosciusko Squadron, repaying the debt to the Polish nobleman, Taduescz Kosciusko, who fought in our Revolution.

World War II

Atlanta Braves Mission Statement

“Brave Volunteers” shows confidence build up in multiple characters as they become optimistic about the future, but in reality this episode is a study about just how much these characters don’t know, which is a stark realization that goes double for the audience. Some crunching of the numbers reveals just how perilous and imbalanced Paradis’ situation is. And our exploration of the figures also sheds light on one of the biggest problems revealed in not only this season but also in the series as a whole. This is arguably what Eren is truly fighting, more than anything else. Hence what happens later. This is one of those episodes where the.

Many people recognized the threat of Hitler and fascism before war finally erupted. Winston Churchill secretly worked with “Wild Bill” Donovan, WWI Medal of Honor winner and future founder of the OSS, to prepare the Democracies for the war they saw coming. Many Americans, as well as brave people from other countries, donned the uniforms of other countries that were already fighting, unwilling to wait until America took up arms as a nation. The American Volunteer Group, better known as the “Flying Tigers,” flew against the Japanese in China. Others joined the “Abraham Lincoln Brigade” in Spain to confront the “Condor Legion,” Germans who were sent to test newly developed German weapons, and support the fascists of Franco’s Spain.

When finally the War broke out on a larger scale, America held back for two more years until Pearl Harbor brought the War to our doorstep. Many Americans chose not to wait, though, and volunteered particularly for British and Canadian forces. Perhaps the most famous of these brave volunteers were the men of the Eagle Squadrons.

The Eagle Squadrons

Many people refer to “The Eagle Squadron,” but there were actually three Eagle Squadrons that served in the Royal Air Force during the Battle of Britain: 71 Squadron, 121 Squadron, and 133 Squadron. Ultimately over 250 young Americans served in the RAF in the Eagle Squadrons. 71 Squadron began their War flying Brewster Buffaloes, already obsolete planes supplied by the US as part of “lend-lease.” They soon transitioned into the far superior Hawker Hurricane. 121 and 133 Squadrons formed slightly later, and they began in Hurricanes, but soon transitioned into the superb Supermarine Spitfire, possibly the best all-around fighter the British produced, and certainly the most photogenic!

Their service in the Battle of Britain and beyond was outstanding. Many of them had extremely successful careers as fighter pilots, and one, Captain Donald Gentile, went on to become one of the top-scoring Aces in the US Army Air Corps, with a total of 22 confirmed victories over German aircraft.

After Pearl Harbor

Following America’s entrance into the War, most Eagle Squadron pilots transferred to US service. In July 1942, the British Royal Air Force chose to honor their service with a special award: a small sterling silver badge similar to the Royal Air Force cap badge, but with a spread-winged eagle, and the date 1942. These badges were allowed to be worn in US uniform, and a search for Captain Gentile will probably result in photos of him wearing his on the right breast of his US Army Air Corps uniform.

The 1942 Badge

The 1942 badges are extremely rare, and have been extensively copied. However, in our January sale, we have a superb original example of one. It has the correct British style fasteners, and is fully hallmarked for the year 1942. Interestingly, the gentleman whose collection it was in assembled a complete US Army Air Corps uniform on which to pin the badge. It is assembled out of all original pieces, gathered from a number of sources. It is a complete set of “pinks and greens,” the preferred Army Officer’s uniform for non-combat occasions. The uniform has actually been made to resemble Don Gentile’s uniform, including the ribbons for his British awards, and his RAF wings.

Why?

Braveheart Sitka Alaska

Many countries had men serving in the RAF, as the island of Britain became the staging place for the resistance to Hitler’s Germany. There were Poles, Czechs, French, Norwegians, Danes, and others, so why were Americans alone awarded this beautiful badge? The answer is quite simple: until 1942 we were neutral, while all the others were combatants. The men of the Eagle Squadrons were actually risking their citizenship to put on RAF blue, as there was a law forbidding Americans from serving in another country’s armed forces. The penalty was loss of citizenship. Americans in the Eagle Squadrons not only risked their lives, they risked their homes to fight for freedom in the darkest hours of World War II.

After the action-packed episodes of the past few weeks, “Brave Volunteers” takes us back in time to show us a little of how this insane plan came to fruition.

“Brave Volunteers” takes us back three years, so around the time of last season’s finale episode, and explains how Yelena and the other Marleyan soldiers came to be part of Zeke’s massive plan to free Eldians from Marley control. Basically, those who defected – like Yelena, the soldier who trapped Pieck and Porco, and Onyankopon, the zeppelin pilot – are from nations conquered by Marley.

Brave Volunteers Attack On Titan Dub

Much of Attack on Titan is, I believe, meant to mirror the events of World War II. In this metaphor, I think Marley is supposed to be Germany. If that is the case, then I believe the nations conquered by Marley are probably not treated much better than the Eldians. Yelena talks about having their homes taken and being forced to fight in the Marley military.

What makes me sad in “Brave Volunteers” is how much Yelena and the others have risked to help out Paradis only for them to be continually distrusted. I mean, we don’t know if we can trust Zeke, but I do believe we can trust the individual soldiers. I think they’ve tied their lots in with Zeke in order to escape worsening conditions in their homeland, or for the hope of seeing their countries liberated. But I admit that after seeing Armin’s reminiscing, and seeing how eventually the Paradisians came to trust and be friendly with the Marleyans, only for that to be reversed after the assault, I was a little heartbroken. Especially for poor Nicolo, who clearly had feelings for Sasha and just wanted to pay his respects, only to get beaten in the cemetery.

It’s a cycle. It never ends. Violence begets violence and it seems as though, at this point, that is all this world is capable of. Armin, I think, was hoping for a peaceful solution basically up until the assault, but I think Eren has abandoned all hope that anything can be resolved peacefully. Webex teams msi download. I suspect that’s why Eren asked if Armin had seen any of Bertholdt’s memories. But then, this episode proves that a peaceful resolution is possible. The issue is both sides have to want it in order to make it work. And from what Tybur was planning, Marley would never have gone for it.

Basically, even after “Brave Volunteers”, the jury is still out on whether or not we can trust Zeke. The Paradis government made their feelings about trusting the Marley volunteers clear, and it’s hard not to see their point. You have to wonder what Zeke’s ultimate plan is. He says he wants to free the Eldian people, but his past actions go against that. He turned in his own parents. He killed so many on Paradis. He almost completely obliterated the Scouts. Has he been playing the long con this whole time?

There are a couple of theories as to why Zeke has suddenly decided to betray Marley. The first is that he changed his mind after the Scouts disastrous charge, perhaps after seeing their tenacity (or after almost being sliced to pieces by Levi). The second is that he has been planning this for ages, and turning in his father was part of the plan, so he would be sent to Paradis and could reclaim the Founding Titan. The third is that his plan was to use the Founding Titan himself, and once he realized he couldn’t take it through force, he decided to go for diplomacy.

This is the theory I find most likely, but since it’s also what was postulated in the episode by the members of Paradis’s government, I’m now hesitant to believe it. I do think it’s a long con situation, but I disagree that it goes as far back as Grisha’s banishment. Zeke was just a stupid kid then, and I doubt he had the cunning or forethought to concoct a decade-long plan for Eldia’s resurgence.

Maybe it’s not even his plan. Who knows at this point? Not me.

By the way, this is as good a time as any to point out how much I loved Levi in “Brave Volunteers”. For one thing, he’s looking good. For another, he’s being extra sassy, telling Zeke he’s taking him to their finest hotel only to take him to the woods. (Because he’s a monkey – get it?) Not to mention, him making Zeke uncomfortable by the force of his glare is a whole-ass mood right now. I wish I had the power of a Levi Ackerman glare.

Did the Scouts really kill all the wild Titans on Paradis? Wow. Just… Wow.

On a sad note, I’m glad that we got a moment of the team mourning Sasha, and that through Armin’s flashbacks we got to see her being happy and experiencing new food. I also appreciate they brought back Sasha’s dad, as well as the girl Sasha saved in season 2. The transition of Eren in the flashback shooting the rifle to Sasha getting shot was extremely well done, and it seems very symbolic that it was Eren’s bullet that killed Sasha, seeing as how many hold him responsible for her death.

I laughed when Sasha asked Onyakopon why he had dark skin. In our world, that would be a rude question, but something “Brave Volunteers” emphasizes is how ignorant everyone on Paradis is. Levi cautions Hange on making them seem weak but Hange is so amazed by all of the inventions that exist out in the rest of the world that she can’t help but react when she hears about them. Naturally, on Paradis, where everyone is the same ethnicity (except Mikasa – and maybe Levi? I’m unclear about him actually), it would be a giant shock to see someone who is so different. I think it would have been weirder if no one asked.

The inclusion of Onyakopon is interesting aside from having racial diversity because his response to her question was very religious in nature, and it indicates different religions as well. It’s a small way of showing how big the world is, even though we’ve been confined to only two small points on the globe. (Saying that the “creator” thought it would be more interesting with a mix also sounded very meta.)

Last but certainly not least, Annie, at last, makes an appearance in “Brave Volunteers”. We haven’t seen her since season 1, and she is still encased in her crystal cocoon. It makes you wonder what will it take for her to break out of it. Is she capable of breaking it herself? I feel like if she could get out herself, she would have done so at any point in the past few years. Yes, she’s their prisoner, but she can do what Eren did and transform, which would demolish the building.

I wonder if Eren will use the War Hammer ability to break Annie out of the crystal.
