Where is the end of Asia?
The Caucacus Mountains near the Black and Caspian Sea in Europe is the Western boundary line that separates Europe from Asia (or separates the West from the East). South of that line is SOUTHWEST Asia (Turkey, Israel, Jordon, Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, etc. areas that are mis-named the "middle east"). To the right of this is the real MIDDLE EAST, "Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, etc." To the right of this is SOUTHEAST Asia, Thailand, Burma, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, etc. Britain mis-named the middle east during their colonial days when they considered themselves the center of world power; measuring all colonies from Great Britain. The closest Asian country to England was Turkey; Therefore it was called ASIA MINOR. Today's mis-named "middle east" was between ASIA MINOR and INDIA (Britain's other colony) therefore those nations were called the MIDDLE EAST, because they were in the middle. East means Orient, so the words can be intermingled. Southwest Asia can be called the FAR EAST or FAR ORIENT.
What was the nickname of the 101st airborne soldiers?
Paratroopers. No. Paratroopers are the name for airborne soldiers of any country who descend by parachute. American airborne regiments probably have their own lesser-known nicknames, and perhaps they can be obtained by researching each regiment individually. I can recall only one offhand. The 555th in World War 2 was nicknamed "the Poor Old 555th" because they were held out of combat throughout the war, and the only action they saw was extinguishing forest fires caused by Japanese balloon bombs. The 555th was as good as any other American airborne regiment, but they were a black unit, and racism was a factor. I also remember that the 503rd was the regiment which recaptured the island of Corregidor on February 16, 1945. Corregidor was called the ROCK and as a result the regiment is still called the ROCK Regiment. They are currently assigned to the 173rd Airborne Brigade in Vicenza, Italy. The nickname for the 173rd is the "Sky Soldiers". This nickname was given to them by the Chinese when the 173rd was stationed in Japan and conducted all manner of training jumps into the orient. The Chinese called them "Tien Bien" meaning, "Sky Soldiers".
