What veteran U.S. Carrier commander is absent from the battle of Midway? Why?

History
1 answer:
Korolek [52]3 years ago
7 0

During the Battle of Midway, the U.S. was without one of her finest Carrier commanders,<u> Fleet Admiral </u><u>William Frederick Halsey </u><u>Jr.</u> because he was overstressed and suffering from Psoriasis .

William Halsey Jr.:

  • Was one of 4 Fleet Admirals in U.S. history
  • Spearheaded raids against the Japanese after the Battle of Pearl Harbor
  • Led the Americans to victory in the Battle of Leyte Gulf

William Halsey was so angered by the Japanese raid on Pearl Harbor that he started a series of raids on Japanese held territory as well as the Japanese homeland.

After 6 months of doing this, he developed extreme stress and lost a lot of weight and developed the skin condition known as Psoriasis. With a heavy heart, Fleet Admiral Nimitz then ordered him to Hawaii because he was insisting on remaining in command.

As a result, he was not present during the Battle of Midway and the U.S. had to make due without a veteran like him.

We can therefore conclude that William Halsey did not participate in the Battle of Midway.

CORRECT ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Historically, the American armed forces were disproportionally drawn from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. A transition toward a smaller and more selective military has changed this tendency. Since the armed forces do not gather data on recruits’ family income, previous studies relied on geographic data to proxy for economic background. We improve on previous literature using individual-level data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 and study population representativeness in the years 1997-2011.

We find that recruits score higher than the civilian population on cognitive skill tests, and come from households with above average median parental income and wealth. Moreover, both the lowest and highest parental income categories are under-represented. Higher skill test scores increase enlistment rates from lower- and middle-income families while decreasing them for high income families. The over-representation of minorities in the military has declined in recent decades. Non-Hispanic White casualties are now over-represented in Iraq and Afghanistan.
