You really think that, given your previous posts, that if you were joking, it wasn't an easy mistake to make?
Yes, we all know what the word means.

Previous posts to you? My understanding was everything was cool. Now when talking about kris immature understanding of American military, two different things.

I was speaking generally.
Kris might have gone over the top with his assessment, but your rebuttal wasn't exactly a sterling achievement either.
Honestly, no, I have no problem with anyone unless they're racist, mysoginist/misandrist, or really a bigot in any real sense of the word. If you're not one of those, then cool.

And after the fall of Norway, the resistance movement was vital in disrupting the German atomic bomb project.
You and your "facts"

Lol, I guess Europe had it handled and US could have stayed home and let everyone die. Literally no one had it under control and like 6 million Russian deaths alone, no one could stop them with out America's intervention.
It's difficult to say what would have happened. I think most likely it was going to war with Russia that led more to Germany's defeat in WWII than America getting involved. Once they declared war on Russia they were waging war on too many fronts and started getting pushed back. America helped with the death blow, but really I think Germany probably would have lost regardless, it just would have taken longer. Hitler was just too much of a gambler and eventually it was bound to catch up with him.

Point is they fell, resistance or not, then America came and bailed out Europe and the South Pacific. I am from Texas and a sharpshooter, not you my friend. 😆
Lol, you being from Texas and a sharpshooter makes you an authority on European history? That's the funniest thing you've ever said.

Perhaps Germany would've lost anyway and it would've just taken longer for the allies to defeat them but it would've taken A LOT longer without America and MANY more Russian and British soldiers, airmen, and sailors would have been killed in that case. Point is America helped immensely in saving many Russian and British lives while having to sacrifice many American lives to do it.
I think it's also likely that had America not gotten involved, the war would have ended in 1943 or 44, with Britain signing an armistice on fairly bad terms (but retaining its independence) and the Soviet Union ceding Ukraine and the Baltic States to Germany.
Although that would have depended on Hitler being realistic with his ambitions for the Soviet Union. There were certainly points early in the war where Stalin would have been prepared to accept these terms to avoid complete defeat.
Why is America the only country who needs to be constantly praised for intervening?
Their intervention and subsequent economic help allowed them a corporate foothold in Europe and is a great deal of the reason why they maintained a superior economic advantage the follow decades.
That and the fact that they were phucking johnny come lately's to the party.

Thanks for the link. I read the article and it seems that those particular Marines were looking for payback for the killing of one of their own. They probably thought that insurgents and/or those responsible for the killing were hiding among those that they killed. It's not like they just decided to go and murder innocent civilians for fun.
In any case, one rogue incident of marines looking for retribution for the murder of one of their own is not indicative of the character of our entire military.

LoLz, anyhow. The US military (like other militaries) has awful people in its ranks who willfully commit crimes while under the uniform/on duty, this is just a fact.Star428 lives in some fantasyland, it's so odd, yet entertaining at times to see.
LOL. Whatever. Keep telling yourself that, idiot. Considering some of your posts that I've read, I'd say you're the one living in the fantasyland, dumbass..
No shit our military has people in it who commit terrible acts, dummy. Did I ever say otherwise, Einstein? I said "our military is no more evil than any other military". And as you've just admitted, other militaries have those kinds of people as well so get off your high horse you "know-it-all."
You've probably never even served. You just sit behind your computer like a coward talking trash to people you know that you will never meet face-to-face. Like TI pointed out, most people like you are pussy's in general. LOL. Get over yourself, dude. I don't even know why I waste my time conversing with insignificant people like you.
