Crap Throwing Monkey Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Never is, Nick! Many European countries held ceremonies...how fortunate we are, having never been a conquered Nation...or suffered the aftermath when freedom came. 704478[/snapback] Fortunate? This country needs a good, brutal foreign occupation to get it's priorities back in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACor58 Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Too late. Yesterday was D-Day, the end-all and be-all of WWII. Nothing ever happened on 6/7... 704461[/snapback] Not true. On 6/7 the French turned back into being ungrateful fu**ing @ssholes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were never all that grateful to begin with. Particularly the Normans. But then...ever see pictures of Caen, St. Lo, Cherbourg, or Villers Bocage? If the US and Britain bombed you back to the stone age, you wouldn't be grateful either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When crisis occurs, we stand together. 704661[/snapback] It's an accurate estimate of our citizenry. People B word when Presidential debates preempt American Idol, for !@#$'s sake. When crisis occurs, modern America turns into a sappy, weepy weak-kneed bunch of pussies. You think this current generation of Americans could storm Normandy? They couldn't even storm Somalia. Your sychophantic and ignorant chest-beating for the WWII generation may be ludicrous...but they at least did have drive and grit and determination. The current generation of Americans defines "sacrifice" as a cell phone with less than a dozen ring-tones and only 30GB in their IPod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
