I think the issue with this is there aren’t really a lot of “pitched battles” in the Revolution. I think this would need to be more on the lines of the AH “Battlecry” or DOW’s “Memoir '44” based on the commands and colors “engine.”
How American are you?
-
Well, I’ve scored one of the lowest so far.
You are 48% American:
America: You don’t love it or want to leave it.
But you wouldn’t mind giving it an extreme make over.
On the 4th of July, you’ll fly a freak flag instead…I don’t own any freak flags, but according to the questionnaire, I should invest in one. Go figure.

Relax, Jen. The test talked about 20th century presidents, and I think FDR were better than Reagan, Clinton or Carter. A option for “another president” in the test would be more impartial.
And sure, Whashington would cualify for the best of all times. Maybe Lincoln also. For the worst, I add G.W. Bush and I agree with Hoover.
Interesting the z pronunciation… another biased issue in a biased test. If you are USA citizen, you are “american” (what about Mexicans and Brazilians?), no matter if you like FDR or not, or if you like NASCAR or not. Is as telling for being Spanish you have to like bullfighting (I don’t like it). A laughable test, I think :-D

Actually, if we were limited to ONLY 20th Century Presidents, I chose Teddy Roosevelt.
I don’t like Lincoln, actually. Yes, he ended up freeing the slaves, but he did it to establish superiority of the federal government at the expense of the liberties of the state governments. This nation went from being the States who are United to being the Americans. We lost our true identity and became an Empire from an Alliance because of Abraham Lincoln.
Any president who pushes the Federal Government’s strength upon the states (and FDR is the BIGGEST example of that with his Raw, ere I mean New Deal) is not only a bad president, but I think a traitor to the cause our fore fathers fought for when they established our nation.
Any president who fights to reduce federal government power and relinquish control back to the states is a better president and true to the ideas of our founders and to the will of the people.

FDR has to get props for being one of the greatest wartime leaders weve had. His legacy of big federal govt, though, keeps him out of the top 5.
-
I disagree. He was a s*itty wartime leader. His Generals had to run over him to get things done. In fact, they had to keep in the dark a lot to prevent him from causing us to lose.
-
the yalta conference he sold out the freedom of countless millions.
he didnt do anything to stop the slaughter of innocents until we were attacked.

Totally agree, this noob actually offered Stalin to have Northern-Norway as a present for his war effort. Luckily to me Stalin rejectet this too kind sacrifice.

Now I am from Norway and I will smite you every day as long as this is your opinion. Now this sit would give Northern Norway to Stalin, but luckily Stalin declined the kind offer. This sit also denied that Stalin had GULag camps where he killed his own people. This s*itty leader let Stalin have most of Europe after the war just to please the big military industrial complex in Jew$ofA, because they needed some antagonist to justifie their existence.
There where no great leaders in WW II.
Hitler was a noob, a brainless killer who loved to bully his fellow man just for fun.
Stalin too was an badas*, and he actually killed five times more people in his GULag-camps than Hitler did in his KZ-camps. He killed half the village from wich he came from, and let his friend Berija rape little girls from Moscow, one every day, contesting Hitlers reputation as a badas*. Now what kind of leader kills his own people ?
Mussolini was a badas*
The French leaders were racist’s, and French women could not vote in elections before after WWII. First thing the bloodmongler deGaulle did after WWII was to start the Vietnam-war and Algeria-war against the colored native people.
Churchill was a good leader ? Using soldiers against his own civilan striking workers in 1920, promise his Royal Navy would defend Norway and then let the Germans occupie Norway just to get another front, and then abandon Norway, and then stratecically bombard Norwegian cities killing a lot of innocent norwegians including my granny. Isnt this a warcrime ? Stratecically bombard civilian cities, killing more then 4 million german civilian women and children ? He was a racist too, when the Declaration of human Rights, Resolution 217 by UN in New York 10 december 1948 was made, Churchill insistet that it should only apply to white people, not black natives in the colonies.
Hirohito of Japan was a badas*, killing and raping, you dont run a country like that if you wanna be taken seriously.
And then we have FDR, the badas* who actually gave Norway to Stalin as a gift. He also was a war criminal, using a-bombs against civilian cities. Cicilian are never legal targets during a war, not even when you are americans and God’s chosen people as Bush claims.

Why do I picture you with a dog eared copy of the Elders of Zion? Do you really think Jews had antyhing to do with the decision to NOT attack Russia and liberate Eastern Europe? It wasnt an option. Christ, Russia had 2.5 million men JUST for the Berlin Offensive. They had over 11 million men in their army at the end of world war 2. They would have been close to their supply lines, and fighting on one front. We still were fighting Japan when Germany surrendered. We hadnt even tested our first atomic bomb yet.

Three Reasons we did not invade Russia after WWII:
1) We already invaded once in Archangelsk and got our (well, YOUR because I am Russian first, American second) butts handed to you royally by the peasants with pitchforks.
2) Patton was dead.
3) You were redeploying everything you could to the Pacific after Germany surrendered, and getting them back into position after Japan surrendered was too much effort.
I’d like to note that the ONLY reason Russia took eastern Europe was because they were tired of being invaded all the time. With the buffer states, any invasion would hurt THEM before they could get to Russia, this would give the Russian’s time to mobilize and repel the invaders for once.
-
we helped the starving people at archangelsk. and it was hardly fighting anyone.
and this quiz, i dont like it. i didnt score a 100%. i’m ashamed. but its biased.

I agree Bung… I even would burn American flags if it kept me warm at night and I still should get 100%.@Cmdr:

Wrong, Jen…. Patton was still alive at the end of WW2.
Wrong, Jen… we didn’t invade Russia because they don’t have anything of any value in Russia.
Wrong, Jen… we did not redeploy everything after Germany’s surrender… in fact, we STILL haven’t.

It was an invasion of a sovereign nation and you American Pig-Dogs got your buttocks returned to you after we let our dogs chew them off you.

Why delete the whole thread and punish a lot of innocent people because one villain did something bad ? Are you Stalin or something ? Listen my friend, now you try to be a real American and only delete that racist comment wich was not protectet by your Freedom of speach.

Did Stalin tell you this ?
You belive the minor nations like Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithaen, Poland, Belorussia, Ukraine, Rumenia, Hungary, Chzekkoslovakia, Georgia, Dagestan, Tsjetsjenia, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Mongolia etc love to be invadet by Russia ?
Jenny, why do you live in America ?
You love Russia but Putin will not give you freedom of speach, freedom to do and be what you want ? No freedom to burn flags ? Or you get sick knowing that Dalstroj was the biggest concentration camp in history ? Knowing that Stalin killed five times as many people than Hitler did, just for fun ?Jenny, you are 88 % American, if we can belive you. So what did you answer on question 15. the flagburning ? Or in question 16. what you feel when they sing Proud to be American at least I know I am free ? Or question 19. what you like best about America ? I need to know because I only are 67 % American, and I have actually done a lot for America, being a soldier in American lead operations around the world. Please help me.

…and again this is comin from the nation that kicked the dogshit out of Grenada. So what did little Grenada do to bother you ?
Americans are smart, they joined the Afghan warlords to crush the Taliban. Now Afghanistan can produce more opium than ever, protectet by American bodyguards. And in Iraqi more civillians are killed by DynCorp and Blackwater than even Saddam was able to in his glory days.
During WWII I belive FDR made a treaty with Ho Chi Ming and General Giap to let Vietnam be an independent and free country if the vietnameses kicked the japanese out. And they actually did too, but unfortunately FDR turned out to be a backstabber, and soon we had the Vietnam war. Not to mention all your help to Sout America and Central America, I am sure they appreciate the dictators you/CIA gave them.

Correct me if I am wrong, but Russia was actually in a civil war when USA decided to help the legal Russian government against Stalin’s revolusion. I belive USA was allied with Russia during WWI, so they actually helped an ally, giving aid to Archangelsk and Sevastopol. After the good guys lost, Stalin killed more than 30 000 000 of his own people in GULag camps during the Red Terror. Making Hitler a nice guy in comparison.

The invasion occurred after WWI, the revolution was done before WWI ended. Thus, America invaded Russia when it was a sovereign nation under the leadership of Lenin.
Furthermore, no, I don’t think Georgia and the like “enjoyed” being absorbed into the soviet union. Some of them joined because they wanted too, some did not. However, the fact of the matter is that Russia, up until that point, had pretty much only fought wars on their own soil resulting in great devastation of the land and keeping them from achieving the technological wonders the rest of Europe was enjoying. The solution was pretty simple, and I may or may not agree with it, but the solution was to create a buffer zone of nations between Russia and any potential invasion from France or Germany (since the French and Germans were the ones invading the poor Russians for 500 years.)
