Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

Helmets tended to come from medieval traditions of what the knights wore. Prior to the First World War, the Germans made a study on the best head protection. They had the advanced manufacturing to made such a design. So the Germans, since World War I. Liberally copied from the Romans. Post war, the US copied the design. And so did a lot of other nations.

U.S. sends carriers to South China Sea during Chinese drills

(Reuters) - Two U.S. aircraft carriers were conducting exercises in the disputed South China Sea on Saturday, the U.S. navy said, as China also carried out military drills that have been criticised by the Pentagon and neighbouring states.

China and the United States have accused each other of stoking tension in the strategic waterway at a time of strained relations over everything from the new coronavirus to trade to Hong Kong.

The USS Nimitz and USS Ronald Reagan were carrying out operations and exercises in the South China Sea “to support a free and open Indo-Pacific,” the navy said in a statement.

It did not say exactly where the exercises were being conducted in the South China Sea, which extends for some 1,500 km (900 miles) and 90% of which is claimed by China despite the protests of its neighbours.
