-You need to make sure you have some airports and/or landing zones that do not have 20 units on them.  If those territories are "full", not only will you lose your automatic factory bonus, but you will have nowhere to place the units you've earned.
+You need to make sure you have some airports and/or landing zones that do not have 20 units on them.  If those territories are "full", not only will you lose your automatic factory bonus, but you will have nowhere to place the units you've earned.  If this happens, you will have to hit 'apply' even though you still have units left to place.  WarGear will let you apply once you have no where else to put any units.  If "apply" is greyed out, you still have a territory with room for placeable units.
+Usually you want to leave 1 or 2 units behind in most territories.  Even though a single unit cannot defend very well, an opponent would have to spend one of their limited attacks to clear that territory.  Also, because you can fortify to any connected, leaving a unit behind in every territory as you move your main army, gives you more options for fortifying.

 >However, the photograph was not without controversy. Following the second flag-raising, Rosenthal had the Marines of Easy Company pose for a group shot, the "gung-ho" shot. A few days after the photograph was taken, Rosenthal—back on Guam—was asked if he had posed the photograph. Thinking the questioner was referring to the 'gung-ho' photograph, he replied "Sure." After that, Robert Sherrod, a Time-Life correspondent, told his editors in New York that Rosenthal had staged the flag-raising photograph. Time's radio show, Time Views the News, broadcast a report, charging that "Rosenthal climbed Suribachi after the flag had already been planted. ... Like most photographers [he] could not resist reposing his characters in historic fashion."
->As a result of this report, Rosenthal was repeatedly accused of staging the photograph, or covering up the first flag-raising. One New York Times book reviewer even went so far as to suggest revoking his Pulitzer Prize.  In the following decades, Rosenthal repeatedly and vociferously denied claims that the flag-raising was staged. "I don't think it is in me to do much more of this sort of thing ... I don't know how to get across to anybody what 50 years of constant repetition means." Genaust's film also shows the claim that the flag-raising was staged to be erroneous.
