Britain is to America as Greece is to Rome

Heading to Spain for Christmas, I will probably be back on the coast the first week of March.

Are you back on the mainland yet?

@Der:

USA by far. Andrew Sisters, Bing Crosby, Judy Garland - game over!

I’d have to agree completely, but you left out Swing, Jazz, Jive and Big Band.

Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Glenn Miller, etc. that music still works.

France had Edith Piaf, but otherwise I don’t think many would choose Wagner over The Duke.

Tipperary was WWI.

@Jermofoot:

It may be the best ME military, but it still doesn’t compare to Israel’s.  And Israel isn’t exactly playing Tic Tac Toe themselves…

Iran does not need a better conventaional military to mess with Isreal, all they need is their strong conventiaonl military to give them credibilty along with their unconvential allies in lebanon and the gaza strip. Right now Iran is wooping Isreal, and Isreal is now forced to play tic-tac-toe because the whole world (especailly UN) hates them (unjustably I might add). Isreal has its hand tied behind its back and is completly unable to deal with the Iranian supported elements on its borders and in its own country. If Isreal causes any colatoral damage, even if it is to a structure that its enemies are using as shields firing missles from, the whole world gets on their back like their the Mongol Horde. The UN is such a dispicable, evil orgnaization, for letting Hezabollah as well as Iranian backed forces in the gaza strip routinly use UN outposts as shileds as they fire rockets and mortars; and they have the nerve to complain about Isreal hitting these same outposts!

Didnt you listen to that British officer’s speech at the UN I linked?

If the world dosnt treat Isreal better, that country is just going to stop caring and start dropping some seriously big bombs.

@Linkon:

The gov’t seems to be spending tons of money these days. Why not take some of the money from the Mars mission or Yucca Mtn?

I have doubts about the safety of Yucca Mtn. Using our soldiers to guard that stuff would make it too expensive for them.

I actually think it’s cheaper for them to stick it under Yucca Mtn. then to send it into space, esp. given the near-certainty of one of the shuttles blowing up as it leaves.

Screams Offscreen, a gun is heard firing. :lol:

Why should the US be called “God’s own country?”

Where does it say that the US is God’s own country?

Our religions change continually… just like every other country in the world…

How so?

I would like to agree with the field marshall vs. yanny. you really don’t need to tear away massive resources from the atlantic to save the russian’s backside. just by diverting some of their troops north in T2, you buy yourself at least one turn, even more if you can get some aircraft against those unprotected transports - i’m liking the idea of not engaging the us fleet.
I’m also liking the idea of attacking to destroy infantry to fore stall attacks. I’ll experiment with that… esp. with my german fighters vs. UK navy in T1, just blow the transports and leave the B.S. but I’m still convinced that no russian attack anywhere can keep germany out of moscow. I agree with the drunken liar.
there are 9 inf in three countries boardering karelia, if you take a mere 8 casualties, then only 12 men stand between my 7 tanks and moscow? 12 at 33% or 7 at 50% hmmmm. I don’t know, and that’s i think assuming the germans defend poorly. but I really do like the infantry killing idea, very progressive…
