| War is a horrible thing, though sometimes fascinating because of technology and sheer perverse aesthetic viscera
We must all be friends now, and either accept each other or attempt to be historians in an effort to understand and record important things for the sake of history.
The time has come to keep ideals to sport and to "fight" for a better world - that's what all the fighting was about in the first place; a degree of homogenisation that we all can accept.
Within our own ranks, please let us just accept received wisdom, which I think goes along the lines of:
"Try to understand what you can't change, work hard at what you can, and have the wisdom to understand the difference".

Country: | well it's snowing around our little Berg of 23,000 right now. I luv it ! funny the shots of the RAF a/c in the snow remind me of the 60 anniversary of Bodenplatte where the Luftwaffe gave one of it's last ditch efforts on attacking Allied airfields over Europe on 1-1-45. what a mess for both sides......
