How quickly some forget.


My uncle is buried in Normandy. He died for a cause (freedom) in which my family believes. France is now free to disagree with the U.S. It is the right and responsibility of free peoples to express their thoughts. Agreement with us is not a requirement for membership in the community of free nations. It is interesting to note, however, that much of this discussion should also apply to the free peoples of Iraq and Afganistan-oh, right, they really don't "want" to be free. Neither did the Algerians.

Ack-Ack:
"It also helped that quite a few prominent Americans like Charles Lindberg admired and openly praised Hitler.

ack-ack"

Kennedy (dad of JFK) also had the opinion that the Brits were done, and did not save his expressions there AFAIK.

I have a good quote from Lindberg's visit to a RAF station before the war. (He had just been in Germany). I'll post it if you like.
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)
