Cortz,
Thank you. We'll agree it's a grey area. I'll freely admit I'm a big fan of Patton. I'll admit the whole "I've been here before" thing is a bit hokey but I think he was a great General. Thank you for clarification. I'll drop this and let Galveston Bay continue.
Enjoy your stay in Coventry. I was reading the wiki page today and the mods kick people for saying similar things. There is a reason 4/5 of German casualties were in the East. They knew it was a fight to the death. No quarter asked or given. The RA knew the same.
The partisan war was just...
It has to do with the whole out law culture thing. Plus Germany was a defeated enemy with lots of surplus gear. But mainly it's outlaw gear. Wearing Soviet gear would be seen as verboten . A lot of bikers served in the ETO and saw the gear as cool. Plus Jap or tommy helmets suck as bike gear.
"Yes sir,I'm from the PC Police. You're charged with using hurting others feelings. Yeah we got a 10-87 micro racial agression" go to chat and cry racism.
Operation Vengance

I say this as a Lt. Col. ( I'm an MP Officer, I was an Infantry Officer in a Ranger Battalion prior to be wounded. In Iraq. I still wear my Ranger patch and Combat Infantry Badge and Bronze Star with pride. Not a lot of MP Officers have those decorations...
Very interesting for me to read this. My dad's family is Irish except they are not. They came from Scotland. It seems my ancestor was some minor person there who killed some one more important in a duel. Off to Ireland he was sent.
When my family came to the US they thought of themselves as...

Yes, he did certify Bush as the new President. Much the way Nixon did for Kennedy. I do not want to go into Gore, as that is sort of a sea lion to me.
My point was, love or hate him Gore acted "snippy" ( that was the word right?) Gore assured he had no future. My point was Nixon made the choice.
I would guess for a couple of reasons. Yes, there was massive over voting in Chicago. However there was over counting in Republican areas, esp. Springfield.
A different outcome was not going to happen in TX. LBJ and Mr. Sam (Rayburn) owned the machine in TX.
Then there was CA, which may or...
Why would Hitler decide to punt the whole "starve England thing"? Which had been the wholeway of dealing with the British in two wars.
Plus side the Heer gets some quality soldiers bad part they die.
EC V,
I agree and I do know that Kiffin shows flashes of brilliance. Out side of his age and he came from USC under Carol, thought he was a good hire. Dickey did real damage to our program through incompetence, Kiffin, was a nightmare. Besides his rash departure, he was doing some things in...
