fit in their agenda to rule the world or their colonies.

Yeah, right, like Poland, France, Belgium, Holland, the Balkans, etc.

We gave /you/ /our/ help? I think 1941 was some time after 1939.

Quit your snivelin you pompous ass.

I scarcely think my comments deserve that kind of response. What
snivelin (sic)? Sardonic, perhaps; hardy pompous.

Ever heard of the Arsenal of
Democracy? If it werent for our lend-lease program you people would
all be speaking German. Why you got your asses kicked at Dunkirk and
had to paddle home leavin your guns on the beaches. At home you had a
beaten army and some raggedy Home Guard units with pitchforks ready to
fight (as Churchill boasted) on the beaches, in the fields, etc...
Hell, you almost lost it in the Battle of Britain too. Had those
German *******s kept bombing your airfields, oil tanks, docks, and
production centers you would have eventually capitulated. Instead that
idiot Goering convinced that nutcase Hitler to bomb cities instead,
saving your whiny Brit asses.


Thank you for your reasoned and logical thoughts.

Lend-lease only came into effect after you'd taken our money.

The reason we were ever anywhere near Dunkirk is that we had declared
war on Germany to try to stop its expansion. That the BEF were pushed to
the evacuation had nothing to do with the fighting qualities of the
army. Only the BEF was beaten, the rest of the army was in reasonably
good shape. You can put in all the "if Hitler had done this" speculation
you like; the fact is that the RAF defeated the Luftwaffe and destroyed
the invasion barges. The Germans were still mighty afraid of the Royal
Navy, and quite rightly, too.

America,
Great America, has always fought for the freedom of all people. Our
ultimate goal is global freedom and the peace that hopefully comes
with it.

Tell that to the Sioux, Apache, Comanches, etc.

Hey, we like all nations had to develop too. Thank God we have a
Constitution that can be amended. The founding forefathers knew that
there had to be growth as freedom took hold. In didn't come in one
day. We still have a long way to go but our ultimate goal has been/is
global freedom.

Why not let people do things the way they want? If they're doing you no
harm, leave them alone.

We in the USA have done more for this planet than
anyone in history so just tuck that historical bull**** in your
pocket. The only freedom the Sioux, Apache, and Comanches enjoyed was
the freedom to live like barbarians for thousands of years never
accomplishing anything. They had over 500 nations and yet no borders,
movin with the food supply and weather. When a proper introduction
into civilized humanity arrived the poor Indians didn't want to join
the club. Thats their problem and they have had to live with the
consequences. Even today with opportunity abounding the average Indian
prefers to leech off society, leading an unemployed drunk existance.
Wow, what a great people.

Still killed quite a few, though, didn't you?

They were happy with the life they had. When it was destroyed, they had
nowhere to turn, especially as the land they relied on had been denied
them.


Right now, were sucking dirt and sand in the middle east tryin to help
people who basically had no rights and were just tryin to survive on a
daily basis.
It makes me sick to my stomach to hear the **** some people post here
about the USA. Thank God He has blessed us with a mighty sword to do
His will.

Ah, nice: with God on our side. The Germans did that one too: "Gott mit
uns". Didn't do them a lot of good.

What has all this to do with military aviation? Well fellow Americans
be proud of our American pilots and all the fine aircraft they fly:
Eagle, Falcon, and Hornet; BUFF, BONE, and Spirit; Warthog and
Nighthawk; all carrier aviation; all transports, tankers, and EW
aircraft; and God knows what secret CIA stuff. Helicopter folks too!
America loves you all. Keep doing what is right in a world gone wrong.


Some of them quite like the Harriers, too.

Isn't it nice to know that the world is going to be saved by such open-
minded and altruistic people?
It would seem that the only good foreigner is a foreigner who will bow
down and worship the mighty American war machine.

They aint bowing, just taking hand-outs of foreign aid and begging us
to clean up their dictatorship ridden cesspool of a nation.

You are a plonker of the first order and a total arsehole.

In your own words I believe it would be customary to tell ya to "****
off you bloody ******".

BB Jr.

What the hell are you two eating/drinking/smoking to make you such
bitter and narrow-minded creatures? Why the constant outpouring of
hatred and bile?

A reasoned reply is not expected.
