Wrong. If not for the Russians...

Please could the stupid Euro vs USA soon stop ? [/B]

Why shouldn't we bash? Why when the kaiser invaded France and Belgium bayoneting nuns, nurses, and babies, back in 1914, why the USA was right there to help out our French friends...in 1917.

And when the Nazis overan France and the Low Countries, in 1940, why we couldn't get there fast enough...as soon as Germany declared war on us in 1941.

Hey, our president has gone to Germany to decorate SS graves. What more do you want?

Just kidding.

Actually, I am never one to miss a chance to slam the French, since I find them reprehensible.  (How many Frenchmen does it take to defend Paris?  No one knows, it's never been tried).

In this case, I hope WE PAY for the care of the cemetaries.  They have no regard for the Americans who died freeing their country - screw having them maintain the graves.

(For sale, French surplus army weapons - Never fired, dropped once).

Have a nice day!

Don't you think it would be a shame for them to be in the same country as TalonX ?

Np, that database is a brilliant service.  Really does prove that they will not be forgotten.  Well, not by us anyway. our allies maybe.

No need to go that far, but im sure the war heroes would twitch and roll in their graves if they heard the oppinions of TalonX and his friends.

To quote page 30 of the ABMC annual report. ' Cemetary land is owned by the foreign countries in which cemetaries are located, and is provided to the United States in perpetuity.'

Is that clear enough for you? Really I find this whole thread  disrespectful to the dead in those cemetaries and to those French and others who quite properly respect and revere those men who died to liberate them.  What has got into some of you?
