OK, let's revisit another war for a moment. The vast majority of the
Soviet
populace hated Stalin. Many initially welcomed Hitler's invasion.
Almost
to a
person the Soviets banded together to expel and invader. This happens
in
almost
every invaded country situation. Look at the coalition that expelled
Sadam
from
Kuwait and how nations that didn't get along with each other did so
for
the
cause.

Wow! So you are comparing the US forces with the Wehrmacht?

Did I say that? I was comparing the Soviet reaction to the invasion.

So you would consider the Iraqis the invaders? In their own country? A
somewht unusual way of looking at things!

And you call
*me* anti-American! (I am not, btw, I am anti this illegal invasion)

The invasion was perfectly legal since sadam defied a dozen UN
resolutions,
abrogated his own agreements with the U.S. and had consistanly been
shooting at
U.S. and British aircraft that were enforcing the no fly zones sadam
agreed
to.

Not a point of view shared by Kofi Annan of the UN. Nor by the majority of
people I talk to.

There was a thing mentioned a lot at the time of the war about WMDs. Now
that this justification for the war has turned out to be false, do you
still
have no problem at all about the war's legality?

They do have the same helmets I suppose...

The helmets don't even look anything alike.

I think they look very similar. And like alot of the Nazi kit, it was a
very
good design.

In my collection I have one of each type of German steel helmet to see
production. I also have the current U.S. helmet. They do not look alike.

Ok. As a certain contributor to this NG used to say, thanks for playing!

Enjoy your helmet collection.
