Wow, your inability to understand what you read can only be matched by BoxBoy

Do you need history lessons?  I'll leave that up to you, because we didn't try to take those "rocks"  we did take them, at the expense of a lot of guys who thought the price was worth it.

Well, duh. You said the islands were not taken and that the guys that fought there did not thing it was worth it?  I am really confused now.  What does that have to do with what I said?  It was just an example but you fail to see the point.  Weather they thought it was worth it or not, maybe it was not the right approach may be it was.  What I am saying is, you cannot apply that to a game.  Don't wory though.  I m sure ill have to repeat it again on the next page.

More than one high ranking officer died doing their job, and it was not an accident

lol, wow, more than one eh?

This is a game, while we do make comparisons to real life, don't belittle the lives lost in the real war.  

How did I do that?

Not really See your assumptions are wrong.  I grew up in Greece, so I had to join the Greek army for 2 years.  However, I did it after I was done with college.  It is a little different when you are 26 and not 17 or 18, and they know that.  After the first 40 days of training, it was like a long vacation, so it was a good experience.

Now, how did you figure all that from what I wrote is beyond me.

Legit??  So is jumping in the ocean off a sinking boat into a bunch of sharks... if there is no other way out.

Really not too difficult, you have a VERY low opinion of the military tactics used in WWII and of military tactics in general.

You seem to think a commander will waste his troops just for the fun of it or because it is "easy" to do it that way.

But now that you have said you are European I can understand the rant since MOST (not all) European youths find America replusive (jealousy I suspect).  It is unfortunate however that your college education has failed you so miserably, in the area of history (since Greece was occupied by the Nazis).

When I started reading this thread, I was going to post a thoughtful reply.  After reading the whole thing, I'm gonna stay out of it.

OHHHH MY GOD, GREECE WAS OCCUPIED BY NAZIS????   HOW COME NO ONE TOLD ME:furious

Wow, you sir must be a fine product of the edumacational system

I take it you have been in Europe for some time and got to interact with those evil kids there?  I remember when I was there, all we talked about was how jealous we were of the US and how repulsive we found it.  

People that think like you really puzzle me

No I don't have to go there,  you are doing a fine job of demonstrating my point.  Your smart mouth and disrespect are all that is necessary:rofl

[bombnbail]

Actually boxy he speaks out both sides of his mouth.  He has no concept of history or military tactics and doctrine, nor does he speak the truth about his back ground.  

His comment of "the army is the army"  says he has no clue.  His next comment on what they do speaks loudly of never having suffered combat training.  Followed up with the last 2 posts and you get a guy who is probably mid to late teens, never been in the military, never bothered with history.  And no respect for those who gave their lives so that he can come here and post his opinion.  

Go figure.

Very embarrassing, Boxboy, proof we didn't need that the Ugly American lurks just beneath the surface of many of us.  This would be a really good time to let this thread drop.
