... (snip defensive pro US stuff) Getting rid of Hussein was a good thing. The other freedoms you refer to will not count for much until or unless there is law and order and an end to killing. If everything settles down in 6 months and Iraq is at peace will you come back and tell us the U.S. did a good thing? Oh yes. No problem. And if green men come and ask me to take them to my leader, I'll be prepared for that too! It is a reflection on how things have gone since the invasion that so many Iraqis will support the terrorists. It is a worse one that many Iraqis actually regret the passing of Hussein. If that isn't a vote of no confidence, what is it? 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? And you call *me* anti-American! (I am not, btw, I am anti this illegal invasion) They do have the same helmets I suppose... |

(snip defensive pro US stuff) Good, and you also snipped your own uninformed commentary. Getting rid of Hussein was a good thing.

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. Nice try. Thank you! |

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. This discussion is closed. Ok. As a certain contributor to this NG used to say, thanks for playing! Enjoy your helmet collection. ![]() |
