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?

Yeah. He should have said Europe rolled over and the rest of the world closed their eyes hoping it would pass them by.

That's not fair. Europe didn't just roll over.

I know it didnt, especially Russians
