Is this an example of the American education system?

  It's not invading if the government allows them to come and stay.

  No it's an example of a joke which makes it obvious you are not schooled in humor.   

 The following is a Joke: Your panties are too tight.    :D <<<<<< smiley face indicates less than serious. "Panties are too tight" refers to being uptight and not able to relax, thus taking things a bit too serious.

Yes the Falaise (Battle of the Bulge) attack on the Allies was the same but called "A Tank too Far" or "Don't forget to check your fuel before you leave"  :)

Not to mention the whole issue with Bomber Command in WW2..
Forcing the unwilling to fly into sure death, against their will..

That right there is purest, unadulterated BS.
... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

I can tell you this RngFndr

My male relatives of serving age during WW2, all 8 of them, were London Policemen... and British Bomber Command...  (They wanted Spitfires, but they, like me now, were too tall to fly fighters)

My Great Grandfather, got up every day, and stayed up all through the night, picking up pieces of little children, blasted apart by German High Explosives. Sifted through wreckage, cleared streets, and patrolled during firestorms.

My Great Uncles, all of them, climbed into Lancaster's and Stirling's night after night, for several years, going through Flak, Night Fighters and running the risk of crashing or bailing out over 300 miles and overseas behind enemy lines...

They had watched their house blown up 3 times by the Luftwaffe, one of them, Jim, landed his bomber as the sole survivor of the crew... and he was the wireless operator...

And your telling me... that they did that.... saw that... and kept going.... because they were forced to?

You really are a scumbag.

Uh-huh.

Meybe you missed the part where all RAF aircrew were volunteers.

You're not just a scumbag, you're an ignorant scumbag.

Name calling doesn't change the fact that
Systematic Coercion was RAF Policy..

Coercion = Force..

Sorry that it may not fit in your view of things..
But it was standard practice, nevertheless..
