Hello Guys,

A little bit off subject - but someone was talking about US bashing & US involvement in WW2... (I am British by the way)

A lot of people in Europe (France in particular) do easily forget that over one million US servicemen were in Euorpe by 1945 fighting to free Europe - I think folks knocking them should have a bit of respect.....

On US bashing, list of countries the US has invaded someone said? Sure, but the US is not the big satan for Europe. If you remember we had the USSR outnumbering us 100 to 1 for many years - the NATO alliance with the good ole US Army kept them out - I know which I'd prefer (Clue : US soldiers go home Soviet ones don't)

I'm not making the British contribution smaller etc etc my grandfathers were both at D-Day - but I just think the US guys should be very proud that so many of their granddads come & gave us a hand when we really needed it.

That's just how I feel....
