This is a game, I play it for fun. It's like playing cowboys and indians, somebodys got to be the indians. Those of us that are willing to do it would appreciate not being called, refered to, implied at , or even jokingly identified as a NAZI. I'm an American, I served in the USAF for 16 years. I have two sons serving in the United States Army , one just got back from Iraq, one still there.
I won't tolerate being called a NAZI , especially by some jagoff hiding behind his computer monitor. Who probably needs to find a way to make himself feel superior. It's a freakin game leave the 60 year old Bullchit politics out of it.
Thank you , Thank you very much.
Whoa, hombre. Point of order here.
1. LS merely stated "Awww, we have to fly with the nazis?" (No accusations of any player in AH actually being a member of the Nazi party, a supporter of the Nazi cause or even a veteran of the war having fought in the German forces under Adolph Hitler. A complete generalization. It could even be taken as "Awww, we have to be the BAD guys?")
2. You assumed he just called every AH player in a German plane a Nazi and took offense.
3. AcePappy got offended too and made his own generalized claims defending "the good Germans."
4. Shane offered a more realistic viewpoint.
5. I hinted that nobody was being singled out as a Nazi. (Anyone immediately jumping to that conclusion appears to have jumped too far, too fast and may even need to ask themselves why.)
6. AcePappy got all excited and tried to convince everyone that the Nazis ... errr ... Germans ... kicked everyone's arses up to just about the end when they decided to stop because Hitler shot himself.
7. Gear found a dictionary and decided to educate everyone on what Webster defines a Nazi to be.
8. Shane and Gear and OM debated the finer points for a bit.
9. TwoDogs reaffirmed that JG3 will not be officially flying in the CT still.
10. Furball stirred the pot and took a jab ... as he may as well have because the thread was melting down anyway.
11. Jester declared the thread off limits to non-virtual-Jagedschwader personel.
12. I spraypainted an Allied tag on the wall.
13. You got offended all over again (ironically mentioning how it's all just a game)
14. Gear unintentionally supported Shane's "what ifs."
Ok .... so like .... "Cowboys and Indians" ... yup .... or "Army" .... I guess in the former if one of the kids playing a cowboy calls you a "low down savage redskin injun" you may feel as offended as one in the latter calling you a "dirty ol' Nazi." I'd say in either case you should probably not play the bad guy.
