Guest Zoom Rabbit Posted March 16, 2001 Share Posted March 16, 2001 Exactly. Deac, you have stumbled upon the same reasons that we Americans were using for not joining the war at the time. No, war is never right. But when we're in a situation like we were with the Axis...war is, unfortunately, sometimes absolutely required of the good guys. Let us hope we're never that screwed again.

Guest Jabba The Hunt Posted March 17, 2001 Share Posted March 17, 2001 the one thing i will agree with you americans on is that your language is better (yes there is no american english - there is american and english) yes i say first floor instead of ground floor - elevator instead of lift although i dont admit this readily i like winding my american friends up by picking on points of conflict!!! ------------------ "The warp cores gone the shield generators have been destoryed beyond repair and the phaser arrays are blown we will never be able to repair all this damage without a starbase" "Dont worry just wait till the next episode and it will all be sorted out" jabbathehunt@hotmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Odin Posted March 17, 2001 Share Posted March 17, 2001 You know that the ice cream cone was invented in america, so was sushi, the first sub was invented by the americans in the Revolutionary war (american....). With WWII, don't forget that the allies had a lot of help from Hitler, ie his mistakes. For instance We were able to get a foot hold in Normady because no one want to make him up so the Panzers couldn't be released untill he said so. My prediction is that another world war will happen once the nukes come down to a point were the countries can live through a strike, that or terrorism will become the new kind of warfare. Both are seemlingly bleak predictions. ------------------ "Dulce bellum inexpertis." (Sweet is war to those who have never experinced it.)

Innror Posted March 17, 2001 Share Posted March 17, 2001 I agree with most people here that America certainly helped a lot to win the war, however i just think it's important to bear in mind that the germans suffered 80% of their casualties on the eastern front. The russians lost 32 million men and women according to the latest figures i've heard, so i think it's fair to say that the war in europe was mainly fought and won on the eastern front.

Admiral Odin Posted March 18, 2001 Share Posted March 18, 2001 If Jabba is UK's finest the Briatin really must suck. World War II is a war that we had to fight, were right to fight, and yet even though we were victorious on Over 40 million died in one war, imagine how different the world might be if even a 1/8 of that number lived. ------------------ "Dulce bellum inexpertis."

Guest Rogue 9 Posted March 18, 2001 Share Posted March 18, 2001 no point in considering it, all the good wishes in the world won't bring a single person back, better to just appretiate what they did and not question it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
