What was the 2nd Virginia Regiment frantically looking for on the battlefield?

Let me guess that it was the set of orders which revealed Lee's strategy for the invasion of Pennsylvania. By chance, these reached McLellan, who came close to wiping out the separated parts of the Army of Northern Virginia. He was not quite quick enough, and the result was the Battle of Antietam - won at great cost by the North.


The soldiers of which nation committed the your lai massacre?

Specifically soldiers of Charlie Company of 1st Battalion, 20th Infantry Regiment, 11th Brigade, 23rd Infantry Division under the command of Lieutenant William Calley, and Captain Ernest Medina, and under orders from Colonel Oran K. Henderson to, "go in there aggressively, close with the enemy and wipe them out for good," and Lieutenant-Colonel Frank A. Barker who ordered the 1st Battalion commanders to burn the houses, kill the livestock, destroy foodstuffs, and perhaps maybe to close the wells. While the soldiers were under orders, it is unclear whether those orders were lawful. The fact is that only one conviction came from this incident under Courts Marshall, Lieutenant Calley, and he was pardoned by President Richard Nixon after serving a very short part of his prison term.

Why were new weapons needed in World War 2?

That's Simple. To get ahead of the Enemy. War is all about getting ahead of your enemy in anyway possible, sometimes by numbers somtimes by development of new arms. Take ,for example, near the end of WWII, Hitler's Germany developed the First Jet fighter, it was nearly unparelled, fortunetly for the world, it came too late. The Lufwaffa (germany's Air Force) was nearly out of money and out of skilled pilots. If the Jet came say, in 1943, We might not have won. Glad to Help
