What Vietnam veterans received a Cold homecoming?
1. Vietnam and anything associated with the Vietnam War was not popular. 2. Men came home on an individual basis, not as a unit; they rotated out of the Nam, called DEROS.
Why would soldiers returning from World War 2 have such a strong desire to start families?
Prior to the end of the cold war in 1990 and the accompanying "equal opportunity" employment (all volunteer militaries)/political correctness, etc. The military (generally world wide) and War were a man's world. Fighting men (Sailors, Marines, Coast Guardsmen, Airmen, Soldiers) from all, or most nations, often NEVER saw a woman while in the combat zone; sometimes for over a YEAR or LONGER! Some GI's in the Vietnam War never saw an American woman until they either went on R & R or DEROS or ETS'd out (DEROs=rotating out of country/ETS=Estimated Time of Service). This is why servicemen often just "stared" at women when they saw them, and women and civilian men would make fun of the serviceman...not realizing he hadn't seen a women in YEARS.
How can we switch from our overseas base in Germany back to the states before my DEROS is up?
We are stationed in Germany and my wife is having family problems back in Florida. We are just interested in getting to a base back in the states and heard there is a way we can "switch" with someone. How do we go about doing this?

Who would win the silver surfer or a dalek?
Neither. Neither exists in real life. The Silver Surfer is a cosmic life-form not entirely human (he's not a robot, either), and the Daleks are somewhat similar to the deros or Detrimental Robots created by science-fiction writer Shavers.
How did the Vietnam soldiers know when they were going home?
There were three live ways of departing Vietnam: DEROS, ETS, or REDEPLOYMENT. The first was simply doing your 12 months, then returning home. The second was discharging from the service and going home at the same time. The third was the unit itself was heading home. For DEROS or ETS the GI himself knew what date that was; all he had to know was when he got in country, then count off the 12 months from there. Re-deployment was always a rumor, hardly ever spoken in the clear by the brass (because they weren't sure themselves). A GI only knew something was up (re-deployment) when the South Viet Nationals began talking to you about it, when you saw gear being dissembled and being packaged for shipment, buildings being torn down, large amounts of tracks (armored vehicles) returning from the field, etc. When you saw all those things happening at once, something big was taking place...you were going home.
You were discharged in Nov 1945 under AR 615-365 and would like to know the wording of this Army Regulation?
AR 615-365 was the "for the good of the service" discharge. It was used to DEROS soldiers at the end of the Korean War and Vietnam conflict. It was used for general discharges up into the '80's, but has since been replaced. I have not been able to locate the verbage of the regulation, but you may find information at the Army's online resource linked below.
What did the daleks do in the first episode ever?
From what I understand , they are bad-guy villianous robots that figure in the Doctor Who series. It is not known where the name comes from. They have biological entities hidden inside- never shown. In that sense they somewhat resemble the manned robots that were, for a while, a science-fiction staple- crossed with the Deros- or detrimental robots of the Shaver"s saga of the inside earth. This stuff is lilght years- on the Dark Side of wholesome, progressive science fiction- of which there are many types.
