    If you've watched lots of films you should be OK. The Enigma machine was captured by the Americans during WWII, which was a war fought solely between America and Germany for example.

      ... with the USCIS in 3 weeks where I get to demonstrate a superior understanding of US history than my American born wife (sic). If they like me I guess I'll have to change my name to MidwestYankeeLimey.

      Is this real history, or history as seen by Americans? If the later it's pretty easy: they won every war, single handedly (except those where the main character paints his face blue), and invented everything. Elvis isn't dead, aliens have a curious interest in Americans nether regions, guns are your salvation and the NSA stands for God, Moms Apple Pie and the American Way (and anyone who says different is a pinko liberal terr'rist). Good luck! :thumbsup:

          That's why they came in late, twice! Somebody had to show them the way and give directions.

          If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

                    You can practice here: Naturalization Self Test[^]. They're pretty easy and you won't be bothered with the English test once he hears your accent, apparently. :) Addendum: California are trying to pass a law that would allow LPRs to serve on a jury so as to widen the pool, a good idea in my opinion since LPRs are usually highly invested in the community so the answer to at least one of the questions may have to change!

                        Your obviously not American. Liberals and the NSA paint people who believe in God for their salvation, own guns, or have conservative values as the terrorist.

                              As far as Korea is concerned, it wasn't a win, but it wasn't a loss either. The end result didn't really change much territorially. The only substantial result was the loss of money and lives. Vietnam, on the other hand, was a massive debacle. It was a war we shouldn't have been involved in in the first place, and then once we did enter it, it was handled terribly. I will admit, this is our only loss in a major* war. *Note: I include major because someone will probably come up with some minor battle to dispute my claim.

                                  Probably because Brits have no access to firearms that they become overly enamored with them when they get here.
