Bullshit NI was an active service role, which is why we got issued the green card (Permission to kill) and received the active service pay enhancement. I lost a friend out there on that 'Policing' role as you call it. You are a arse if you think it was anything other than being under attack in a hostile environment. Unless you wore the green and walked street, you know nothing and should say nothing.

Unfortunately, it is almost always those who never put on a uniform and who were never put in harm's way, who have the most to say.

Er, Dave, I am actually English, born in Devon. :) I live on the continent because I like to do so.

Again, you are being very narrow in your viewpoint. You are ignoring the vast numbers of soldiers who throughout history have not gone to war to protect their fellow mans freedoms but for monetary gain, and the sheer bloodlust pleasure of wanton destruction.
And the narrow view is appropriate. Those are not soldiers you are describing. Those are barbarians with little or no human emotion or morality. :)

No, actually it comes principly from a guy I know who, a Polish Count, who fought the Germans of course, and described the kind of barbarity committed by German troops in eastern Europe. They took a boarding school in Poland, and hung all the children, out of the windows. Now, tell me soldiers are noble. The Russians were no better when they took Germany.

Why call a differing point of view ignorant? Let me give you an example that supports my point of view: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/3911304/Re-Happy-Memorial-Day-America.aspx[^]

Aw, why'd you delete it? You 'tyupe' such brilliant insults, don't you know? Never fear, though - I shall reproduce it here: "another ignorant peasant child with dung on your booties. You reveal your ignorance with every word you tyupe." I don't even need to comment on it. You've insulted yourself far worse than I ever could.
Why? because I decided that it didn't become me. I admit to a flash of irritation, but thought better of it.

Why should you mistake lack of national prode with cowardice? And as for questioning whether I have friends in the Army well, you can if you like, I dont really care whether you believe me or not. Its not going to change the facts.

Ha! Well, I posted it anyway - it must be killing you that you can't remove it, huh. Especially considering how hilariously crappy the insult is: I mean, tell me honestly, did you expect me to be offended by it? Would you expect anybody to be offended by it? Unless you're a masochist and simply enjoy having people laugh at you.

You must realise that the US is a particularly odd country. Its the only social experiemtn thats actually lasted. Of course you love your country, you have to. You all have to. You all went there form all over Europe in order to MAKE a better country! Of COURSE you have a greater interest in it! Us cynical old Europeans who didnt leave slowly changed our countries politics and systems to something not overly different from yours, but we also live in a very small place with many countries very close to each other and sharing languages customs and aliances across boarders. So what is a country to us? Its a line on a map. I am as close to any other European as I am to any English person. Why should I not defend THEIR country over mine if I felt it was in the right? Many Germans tried to kill Hitler you know. There were 25 attempts on his life in the 10 years he was in power. Thats one every 5 months Germans tried to kill him. What were they doing? Defending their country or doing the right thing even if it meant initialy a loss for Germany? Think about where you come from, why you are there, and think how differently we can feel over here. :)

Seriously. You have been consistently unpleasant to me for years purely, I assume, because I question the verity of GW. Why should I defend you and the land you inhabit given your extremely unpleasant attitude towards me? I bet you cant come up with anything and will just ignore this post because of the very obviousness of what I am pointing out to you and what it says about you as a person.

I cannot comment on all 25 attempts but I do know that at least 12 of the attempts on Hitler by Germans (as opposed to non axis countries) were performed by Germans who had no trouble with the Politics but only with his leadership. von Stauffenberg - probably the most Famous attempt, was not against his policies but his direction/interferance in the way the war was being fought As for defending another country over your own, this is your right as an individual, however this grants the right for your own country to treat you as a traitor and punish you accordingly An i lugh at this sharing accross borders i europe, as this was maily achieved though the use of force
You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.

actually most borders were set by either natural features such as rivers etc or by conquests, only countries that were divided up by waring factions had these arbitrary borders set, swo if you dont like them you have to defend against them

I know. What I was saying is what makes 'sharing across boarders' so evident in Europe is that despite the lines drawn on the map the people who live in that geographical zone share culture across those borders. Look at the language mixing across borders in Europe as an example. Italians who speak Austrian, French who speak Italian. French who speak Catalan, Belgiums who speak Dutch and German. and on and on and on.
