the English are there own people. They alone stood up to Hitler while the whole of europe rolled over like a good dog. Being an American and serving with a few of Englands boys back in 1991 overseas, i can tell you the English are just better people than europeans.

do you really know THAT little about WW2?

Well... he is American. They haven't had an invasion for quite a while there (and probably won't for a long time, if ever), so I guess it's easier to ignore certain things.
