Funny

... but true.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who refuses to buy into the warm, fuzzy, poliitcally correct new Germany. Marechal Foch had it right ... and, by the way, General Arthur Currie ... the krauts should never have been allowed off the canvas in '18. But the yanks got their way ... more or less ... and what should have been a crushing victory turned into a halftime break. And all those countries which were, within living memeory, brutalized by the Germans are now kissing kraut ass.

It's better than kissing Frog arse

Personally, I would prefer not to have to kiss either of their arses...or the yanks...but that seems beyond the capabilities of our politicians on both sides.

Agree with both you & Wyn Neither the Germans or French have been able to defeat us in war since the Middle Ages but are now getting closer to their goal by political means

67 years of peace in Europe (apart from the Balkans) - the longest period ever. Isn't that worth something? One of the greatest features of my life is never having to fight any war or do any form of military service. Most of us are Germans anyway - where do people think the Angles and the Saxons came from?

Well the Krauts failed with two attempts to rule Europe by means of war, now they've found an easier way, just let people like Blair Brown and Cameron, run the white flag up, and give it to um on a plate

OMG, a real patriot, yes like you I didn't have to fight, why? because our parents/grandparents fought.

It is worth nothing if we don't maintain their standards and be prepared to fight, not for foreign wars, but against the way our freedom is being stolen in Brussels.

First point is an excellent one. To put it bluntly, I didn't have to get shot and gassed 'caused my grandad did it for me.

And it seems as if someone has forgotten about the Cold War. Not too much shooting going on; but there was a Major Mexican standoff happening, and we all know, or, at least, those who lived through it know, how close to extinction we were .... particularly in those thirteen days in October in '62. And it's not hard to figure out why the krauts have been quiet for '67 years ... They've been licking their wounds, and taking yank handouts so that they could get their economy booming again to the point where they could use economic muscle to do what they could not do militarily. It's not hard to figure out that the EU is little more than a front for German control of Europe. The French will probably tag along with them, looking to share the power. (A lot like the leader of your Lib-Dems

, eh.)

And let's not forget that while Europe has been peaceful for a while ... a peace of exhaustion, rather than a new commitment to peaceful co-existance ... the world hasn't been all that calm. And blame for much of this can be laid at Germany's door .... For example, it is a valid and defensible argument that if there had been no Third Reich, there would have been no Israel.
