@cocomunga I've been in sandstorms, the middle of wide open deserts, and scorching heat (147F). Very easy to tell which way is north by watching the sun. And even with shifting dunes, in a wide open desert, short distance navigation while maintaining orientation (within 5-10 degrees accuracy of your intended direction even) is possible with no map or compass. Also, in survival, with clear skies like the Sahara, travel at night and use the stars to orient/navigate (extremely easy skill). Modern people are losing their basic survival skills.
He was stupid to keep moving in a sandstorm. Seems no one else was stupid enough to continue in the storm. Why he thought anyone else would continue is beyond me. Pause for the storm, like everyone else, move around slightly/periodically if worried about getting buried, and continue after it passes. He couldn't conduct basic navigation with clear skies (day or night), what made him think he could navigate in a sandstorm when he clearly understood the dunes could shift?

Next you should make a list of all the countries the US invaded, specifically pointing out which ones we gave back peacefully...
Everyone claims we were/are an empire, but when you look how much territory we captured but never claimed, or even gave back later, is astonishing. (Mexico, Philippines, Italy, Germany, Japan, Iraq, Afghanistan, Grenada, Panama Canal, Cuba...) Not to mention countries we occupied with enough forces to conquer, but were there for other reasons (Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Korea, England, Australia...).
