This is the Honorable Discharge Pin. It was given to soldiers to wear on their uniform so that they could continue to wear their uniform after their discharge. The pin would signify to other soldiers (mainly officers) that he was not on active duty and did not have to obey orders or at least not all of the mundane stuff. The eagle in the circle of the pin looks kinda like a duck so the GI's referred to this pin as "the ruptured duck". It was awarded either as a lapel pin or a patch. The patch was usually worn above the RIGHT breast pocket. The patch was issued in different color material and color thread depending on the branch of service---Army or Navy.

What did the military term called the center of gravity mean?

The center of gravity military term was coined by 19th century military expert Karl von Clausewitz. Clausewitz has much to say about the term he originated to describe war strategies. As a brief definition the term means that within an enemy is the source of its strength. The goal of an attacking force is to destroy this center of gravity as a method to bring the end of a war to a decisive conclusion.As an aside, while not speaking in such terms, US President Lincoln and US General George B. McClellan believed that the capture Richmond would end the rebellion. They were certain that the fall of the Confederate capital was essential. Without using the the term, both men were speaking about Richmond as a center of gravity.

What is the distance between the focus of a circle and the outside?

We're not sure what the 'focus' of a circle is, but since there's only one significant pointinside a circle, we'll assume the question is referring to the 'center', and we'll assumethe 'outside' means the circular line (which is actually the circle).(Isn't it great that before we can do an answer around here, we have to re-write thequestion so that it makes sense ! ?)The distance between the center of a circle and the circular line is the circle's "radius".
