>>>>>Walter hates America and everything it stands for. He is the ultimate roll over and play dead idiot when push comes to shove. He doesn't understand if it weren't for people like you and me (former Marines -- and military) that he wouldn't be able to pontificate his communist ideology. Take what the moron says with a grain of salt, he isn't worth arguing with. He lives in a country that kill their elders because it costs too much to take care of them. My bet is he will move when he gets to the age where they consider killing him because he is no longer of worth to the country. I'm so glad I don't live in many of the European countries I visited.

>>>>>>I, too, have been all over the world (save the Orient) and agree that there are reasonable people in Muslim countries, but the fact of the matter is that reasonable people don't rule, they cow-tow to the minority radicals and go along with them to save their own skins. I'm not for proforma bombing of Iran, but we should make a few concentrated attacks to take out the radicals and destroy their nuke capabilities now, not next year, not when they fire on Israel, NOW!, before they reach critical mass (so to speak)....

>>>>>I remember getting into some $hit with Walter years back, and he pissed me off when he insulted America. I told him then and I'll repeat it now - If it wasn't for the US sailing across the pond to save their asses, they would all be speaking German. They owe the US a debt of gratitude for all eternity.

>>>Germany owned all of Europe, and would have continued to do so if the US had not entered the war. I didn't say no one else contributed, but the US was the deciding factor.

>>>And, to add to that, before the US entered the fighting, where did the UK and USSR get all that military equipment they used?
>>Thanks for that.

>>I didn't want to point out it had very little to do with the quality of the US army and more to do with US industrial production . So if anyone won it it was Rosie the Riveter.

>Not true. The US was sending equipment between 1941 and 1945. it wasn't until the US took an active role in combat operations did the war turn.

maybe you should take a history class before you come out with things like that.
