Country:  | I took a bit of a beating from les when I started posting here. But I left myself open to that BY posting my info. I coulda kept it to myself, but the reason for posting is to get info and other opinions. All feedback is good.
I caught up on the Pierre posts recently, and as much as I loved his book (The Big Show) I had found some inaccuracies and I see there are more. And I've been having a great time here, and getting all the info I've been looking for.
Great site, with alot of smart, talented, and funny people.
Thanks,
Ken | |

Country: | Like one of my DIs used to say: Quote:
There's a time to talk, a time to listen, and a time to shut the f*ck up.
Guess what time it is?
| Some folks never learned to tell time I guess...
All of this is directed at the original poster. It is quite easy to find some place not to your liking and go elsewhere. It is cowardly to take a cheap shot on the way out. But if you were looking for a moderator or admin to apologize to you or beg you to come back, you are sorely mistaken.
Sometimes, preconceived notions on your heroes can get dashed when facts come up. Get over it.

This little army of civilians fought like hell those 5 days with guns dating from 1870 and with biplanes and nowhere to run to against the Wehrmacht, which even took the mighty US army 3 years to defeat. So please no comments like that on this little country, will you?

But it was also a fact, not a dig. The Dutch did fall before France. If that was due to happenstance of Geography, insubstantial armaments or bad planning, it does not change what constitutes history. I can not, and will not be changed. Unfortunate? Yes. But we can't change history to reflect only those things that don't annoy us. It's been tried before and it failed miseable.
Again, no offense. Been to Holland, like the place. Another place with great beer.  | |
