yes, but you aren't POTUS, so all is left to your pitiable narrow nazi mind is angrily typing on a keyboard to express your ultra nationalistic stinking ideas....thus I feel pretty safe.


But I'll call you DOOFUS if you like.

Besides, you obviously surrendered to my 'losing point'. By your standards, you must have french ancestry.

You should feel safe.  After we kicked you guys back across the border we put an army there to protect you.

You're very safe.  

You live under the very protection that we provide.  You exist at our leisure.

yep... funny how these myths start.... Our generals and admirals felt the japs would be on their knees in the island hopping... all we had to do was bombard the crap out of the island and the troops would just walk onto the beach and round up what was left of the defenders...

guess the generals and admirals can be wrong once in a while...  

The closer we got to japan the more intense the defense.    

course... I have never seen a general that was ready to quit the war they were in unless they were losing badly and most of the time.... not even then.   Invasion would have been their choice instead of  a decisive bomb.

There were no American atrocities that ever came close to the atrocities commited by the japanesse against other peoples and U.S. and British troops.

It must be mere coincidence that all the fire bombing of japanesse cities caused no offer of unconditional surrender but within days of dropping the atomic bombs the offer was there eh?  

The people of the U.S. would accept nothing short of unconditional surrender...  We could be generous after that.

Sheesh... everyone knows the japs weren't..... suicidal or anything.

This thread is fun, what with martlet and lazs teasing the foriegners and all, but the reality of the thing is this....


.... why couldn't we have waited until the bearcat saw some combat service?  I mean sure it would be perked, but at least we would have the damn thing.

furious... there actually were 300 bearcats on carriers before the war ended....  they were developed as as an anti suicide bomber plane (musta been the idea of some unelightened wacko admiral who thought there actually was a suicide threat).

If just one suicide bomber would made it to or we coulda held off the atomic bomb for a couple of weeks.... we would have the Bearcat in AH!

Here's a card I'll toss you in return:  Idiocy.


Racism: The belief that each race has certain qualities or abilities, giving rise to the belief that certain races are better then others.

You believe an American life is worth more then 100 000 German lives. By the above definition that is racism (anti-germanism).
If all races are equal then 1 american life = 1 german life.

I for one do not think my people are better then anyone else's.
Our politicians lie just as much as French or American ones.

Sorry to inform you that they are no burger kings were I live. :p

American is not a race.  That point obviously escaped you.
