All that is null and void anyway, we all know the Romanian pilots were the most dangerous Axis pilots.  | Are you being sarcastic? But they had several high scoring aces!

| Concerning your current discussion, i always say you need to have a good knowlege of history to be a complete person. The other day i was talking to a girl that didn't know about the holocaust! Or that soaps were made from the dead! I mean some people have no idea how much cruelty the human race is capable of.

Country:  | I was sarcastic about the last line, yes.
Is it me, or did you just say that soap is made from the dead? You're talking about the fat off dead animals, right?

THAT was bad by modern statistics..... And compared to WWII it was nothing....
Makes u truely realize how far the human race has come..... And we still have a hell of a long way to go.... | Very true. I actually forgot about the Balkans...Bosnia, Kosovo, Croatia, Albania and Serbia. Seeing all those mass graves actually turned my stomach. The wars there were actually the bloodiest the world has ever seen since WW2.

Country: | He's right, what you see on the news is a big lie.
World War 2, the Germans invading, it's all a lie. Poland invited them, they had a party, punch was served!
But don't go telling that to war veterans, they're really stuck in the lie.

Country: | That was a bit harsh, don't you think, lanc?
Vietnam was lost by the U.S due to politics more than anything. War weariness brought that war to an end, although I am in the understanding that the U.S likes to make out the Vietcong were unbeatable.
The Tet Offensive was a crushing defeat for the Vietcong, it just caused much heartache in the U.S due to bias media coverage who were against the war.
