Default Lets get some perspective. Let us not forget!

Okay Neil's comments were somewhat misjudged. He made a joke comparing D-day
to the Black Death. The point being how far back do we go?

Many on this group would admit to liking 'Monty Python' is that fair
comment? Yet how irreverent was their humour? I recently saw some scenes
from the "Meaning of Life" Christ did they take the proverbial out of
English troops. Okay Neil was daft with that comment.
If truth be known I wouls go as far to say that despite the sacrificial
heroics on all fronts it was the Russians who actually won world war 2.
Four of the five German divisions were in the Soviet Union! Hey go do the
math!

Not misjudged - I'd use the following words - insensitive, offending, etc
etc.

I think he should appologise or post elsewhere.

You're right, of course. Russian losses were huge. Churchill praised
"the great warrior Stalin". Well, that's war for you.

Hey go do the
math!


Didn't know you were a Yank, though, Lawrence.

Mark. I think my response was "misjudged" I do not take anything away from
the extraodinary bravery that was shown that day. We'd be far better served
as to analyse what led to such a dire situation. Human history an unconcious
zig-zag of good and bad. Just ask the irish about Cromwell?
