 FS>> Asking the people of nations to merely acknowledge their
 FS>> well-known debt to the US is *hardly* "insulting" ... [sigh] ...
 FS>> are *you* insulted when you receive your monthly utility bill?
 FS>> (Assuming you receive one)
 
 SA>> Accusing the whole of Europe of being cowards is surely
 SA>> insulting, especially after your claim to have "been there" cadet
 SA>> Scheidt. Safe at home facing only a parade ground sergent.
 SA>> Continually rubbing salt into the wound only shows how small
 SA>> minded and senile you are, your record is cracked and stuck. You
 SA>> are becoming annoying, it is you who are a coward, by mindlessly
 SA>> accusing those who died and fought to release Europe from the
 SA>> Axis forces of being cowards, crawl back into the hole you belong
 SA>> in and don't show your face in here again.
 
 FS> That's what I mean by your constant insulting -- calling me a

 SA> Quote my "constant insulting" I have only twice called you senile,
 SA> that in over a year ... hardly constant is it  ...  or are you getting
 SA> a little forgetfull? 

I don't remember ... heh heh heh ... 

 FS> coward when you don't have any reason to know if I am or if I'm
 FS> not.  But to be civil to you, even though there's doubt you
 FS> deserve it, why do you consider me a coward?  I'm really curious.

 SA> Age . March 2 1922. You could have been there if you wanted.

I could have been *where*??  I was a soldier on active duty 
during WWII following orders.  I realize you know nothing about 
the military but, despite your desires, the military is *not* a 
democracy.  Really!

 SA> To remind you:

 SA> You intimated you were there and called all Europeans cowards for
 SA> having been over run by the German invaders. Then you have to back down
 SA> and admit you were safe at home in America.

I don't recall backing down at all.  I followed orders just as 
*all* soldiers did -- well *most* soldiers did.

 SA> While I don't begrudge America it's assistance during the European
 SA> conflageration, 

Oh, wow!  That must have hurt at least a *bit*, didn't it??  BTW, 
in my helpful way -- and don't take this the wrong way -- "it's" 
means "it is" and is not a possessive ... thot you'd like to 
know.

 SA> I do begrudge it causing my involvment in another
 SA> theatre of 'war'one that was totally uncalled for at a more recent
 SA> date. 

Huh?

 SA> I still say you are a coward, for the simple reason you have
 SA> denigrated those who are unable at this time to defend themselves. Why
 SA> can they not defend themselves? for the simple reason they died during
 SA> that conflict between nations. These are the people you have called
 SA> cowards, namely Europeans, while at the same time  they were dying, you
 SA> sat safely at home in your nation reading newspapers about the events.

*Now* you have something against newspaper readings.  You'd 
forbid soldiers to read newspapers?  Why?

 SA> With those people you have also lumped in with, or coated by your
 SA> broad brush, their descendants. By doing this you have insulted myself,
 SA> my father (awarded the MC at Dunkirk) 

I presume he escaped successfully ... if so, good for him.

 SA> and my uncles, several of whom
 SA> died during this conflict. Your language is not that of an active war
 SA> veteran, but a dreamer of unachieved glories in days gone by and far
 SA> past your comprehension. 

I have no dreams of glory.  You know nothing WRT the value of my 
wartime service as a soldier during WWII so it would be better if 
you'd just shut up about it ... 

 SA> You sir are the insult in here, not the Europeans.

*Another* of many insults from you.  How juvenile!  ... [sigh]
