    Actually, I am English, and I have a lot of friends in the Army, UK army that is, Paras, 49 Comando, Signals, D&D's. I just dont have any respect for Oakmans sentimental simplicity, especially as he chooses today to foist tit on us in a lame attempt to gain popularity. I am surprised it isnt as obvious to you what he is playing at. And he is wrong.

    That's what you keep claiming, though i think you're lying. If I'm wrong, why don't you tell them that they're responsible for the death of 13 million in Germany?

    Wrong about what? Descartes, your "higher mind" (whatever the fuck that is) example having been a soldier?

      It is not surprising you have no respect for the Soldiers. Quick, Le Drapeau Blanc! The French folded quicker than a man with a nine high in every war they fought. The White Cross on the White Field. The Brits have had to go to France twice in the 20th Century to kick the Germans out. So take your trite, offensive attitude and stuff it into a history book!

      US soldiers saved our a**es in wwii, both true for French and Brits. Had they not been there, the Brits would not have lasted much longer against the Germans.

          Soldiers do not start wars, Politicians do, and who elect the politicians, The People. Soldiers Only do the bidding of the people.

          The people did not vote for Asquith to fight WW1. The people did not vote for Baldwin to fight WW2. The people did not vote for Blair to fight in Iraq & Afghanistan. Soldiers do the bidding of politicians, not the people.

              Absolutely correct. Canadian armed forces and Australian air forces were an integral part of the effort.

                Yes, and I always acknowledge Europe's debt to the US, and also to Canada, Oz, NZ, India, and all who fought against the Axis powers. We have museums and a library commemorating the USAAF stationed here in WW2. (Some game veterans still make the pilgrimage!) I just hate to see any nation's soldiers described as cowardly.

                  That became obvious when you said you wished they'd won WWI - I wonder, did you think they'd fight without soldiers?

                  Probably true in France. It certainly was true in Germany during WWI and WWII.

                  clue: police != soldiers. I imagine it is a distinction too fine for you to make, but it exists, nonetheless.

                        Regarding your question yesterday. Tune in (if you can) to BBC4tv tonight. 8.10pm "The Great War - An exploration of the aftermath of WW1" and 10pm "Timewatch - The Last Day of WW1 (last in series)" and 11pm "What Did You Do In The Great War, Daddy? - children of men who died during WW1" You may find them interesting, and may answer your questions of yesterday.

                                  I'd suggest the 1st Gurkha Rifles. But be very polite. The Gurkhas are some of the best soldiers in the world.

                                      I give it to you, you are good at using Google, and perhaps Wikipedia as well.

                                      I've known of the Gurkhas and their legendary prowess for many many years. But, yes, I checked with Wikipedia to get the name of a specific regiment.

                                        It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. It is the soldier, who salutes the flag, who serves under the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag. If you can read this message thank a teacher; if you are reading it in English of your own free will, thank a soldier. ~ Charles M. Province

                                          Good. That means I can rest assured I got it right.
