Look gnarly1972, these guys fought and died for that idiot to be able to say whatever he wants. You should really learn what the freedoms of this country are all about before posting such drivel.

The same freedom that gives this guy the right to post this immoral piece of crap is the same freedom that gives gnarly the right to say Fuck you.

Who cares anyway about what Mailerdaemon says or posts. He must not have much of a life as he obviously spends most of his free time on plus613 posting and spouting anti-american crap.

The Nazis were responsible for the industrialized slaughter of millions of Jews, as well as others deemed untermensch such as gypsies and slavs. The Japanese killed millions of Chinese. I think it was something like 7 million. The U.S. was took a huge part in bringing these nightmare regimes down. It is hard to comprehend how much we owe these people who risked and gave their lives. When I watched contemporary war films like Saving Private Ryan, it really hit me how much courage and selflessness these Americans displayed when they charged out of those landing craft and stormed those machine gun nests while mortars were tearing them apart. The landings during the island hopping offensicve against the Japanese were worse. I wondered if I really could have done that myself. It's one thing to sit back with our comfortable lives now and think that we could, but it must have been so terrifying that we cannot comprehend it. One time a hunter shot a high powered rifle and it ricoched off something and it buzzed right over my head. I could really sense the incredible power in that projectile and it scared the piss out of me. I seemed like that thing could rip my head right off. I can't imagine what it would be like having people AIM those at me trying to kill me.

The worst american war film ever for distorting the facts is U-571. I know americans like to take credit for every single victory in WW2 but that film was bullshit. Claiming that the Americans first captured the enigma machine when it was the Brits is plain pigheaded.

Stussy-demon, SPR was a depiction of the landing at Omaha beach and the areas where the 101st airborne division were dropped. It was not supposed to be a comprehensive story of the entire invasion. So naturally it did not show the British and Canadian landings. By the way, it is common knowledge that during WW1, the British used the Canadians for missions when it was deemed that there would be extremely high casualties. I believe this was also the case during WW2, I'll check it out.
And yes Bob, U-571 was in no way historically accurate, and I don't think it pretended to be. It was simply made to bring in the biggest box office draws, and that means catering to the masses. Every country has nationalistic tendencies, not just the U.S. Everyone wants to see their country kick ass, it's human nature.

Agree whole heartedly with Anonymous@94220. Americans are sticking their big noses into every countries affairs.

Good intentions admittedly, but so far have only proved that they can blow shit up and not change a political environment for the better the way they planned.

This picture is just a reflection of the frustration that some people around the world feel. That is, that america and it's allies can start something. They just can't seem to finish it.

Intersting point...Austrailians seem to jump right in there and fight alongside the yanks whenever they see an opportunity. "Oooo Oooo can we play too?"

Yeah Australians seem to jump in whenever they see an opportunity to take down a nightmarish homicidal regime and free an oppressed people. There are worse things to fight for. Since WW1, the US has not been afraid to take action to stop tyranny, repression, and genocide. Case in point: Nazi Germany slaughtering jews and slavs to free up lebensraum in Eastern Europe for the superior german people, Imperial Japan clearing China for Japanese expansion, Serbians executing thousands of muslims for ethnic cleansing. Saddam, repression and execution of thousands of Kurds and Shiites. All brought to justice with significant help and leadership from the US. And what appreciation and thanks do they get? It is a lot easier to take no action in the face of injustices. There is no risk for making mistakes or suffering criticism is there? Just like pedestrians that see an old lady getting mugged and refusing to help. There is no risk to taking no action except the risk of sacrificing your principles. By the way, I would just like to express my admiration for the brave Iraqis that defied the threats from the Islamic terrorists and voted for a new age in the middle east. Unfortunately, some Iraqis did die and the only crime they committed was trying to exercise their right to vote. It is hard to comprehend the motivations of the maniacs that strapped explosives to themselves,stood in line with voters, and detonated their deadly packages. It seems to me that people enjoy disparaging the US more than these murderers. The irony is almost unbearable.
