Agreed 100%. I don't believe in group think AT ALL.

Whenever there's a group I have noticed it's usually run by someone even more of an idiot than myself. OR someone evil who just wants the power for themselves.

[QUOTE=Cass40;1635003713]Sure Patel from India.[/QUOTE] no, most people learning English as a second language in India and Asia learn "International English" which is 95% like the odd American you guys speak ;) some red-flags that I'm dealing with someone in India are that their grammar is absolutely excellent but very very archaic and that they spell things incorrectly like defense, license or advise etc when they meant defence, licence or advice (it's verbs and nouns).

I admire him a great deal. It can't be my place to judge what a Finnish person did in 1940 to ensure that Finland stayed Finland. As a matter of fact, I admire the entire country a great deal. Simo Häyhä is another hero of mine. In the US Army, in my community anyway, these guys are regarded as semi-deities. They are held in the same regard as guys like Francis Marion, Roy Benavidez, Otto Skorzeny, William Darby, Mad Jack Churchill or General Wainwright.

edit - I correct myself. No one is regarded as the equal to MSG Benavidez.

Finnish rally drivers are gods in my eyes. They invented the Scandinavian Flick. And their F1 drivers are no slouches either. When you look back at Group B rallying in the 1980s the Finns were awesome (not that they're not now).

Did you ever ask them to take you for a ride (in their cars :) )??

I once met Jacques Villeneuve at a track in Ontario Canada where I was with my car. I asked him to take me for a couple of laps in my car with him driving it. He took several seconds off my best time the first time in my car and the first time at that track for him. The skill and car control these guys have is incredible.

No I didn't really know them cos they were a few years older and I moved there when I was 12, and they were probably already almost left home by that time. My friend dated Mika Salo a bit but she was a hottie.

Very cool! I once got the opportunity to stand by the side of the track taking pictures of an F1 race at the circuit named after his dad in Montreal.

and F1 is back and better than ever, IMHO. I just signed up for streaming on F1TV and had incredible access to all the action of the race in Bahrain this past weekend. You can watch action from any car and listen to the radio comms between driver and team. Since being bought by a subsidiary of Disney, they are really upping the exposure with killer online access and the top notch Netflix series - "Drive to Survive".

[QUOTE=eomrat;1634978023]That makes no sense at all. Even if it was true, it wouldn't make sense.[/quote]

You don't recall the German-issued kennkarten the Nazi party made mandatory for everyone to carry? Which also had specific markings to denote those of Jewish heritage, so if you didn't have the Star of David prominently displayed you would get in trouble? Guess you need to brush up on your WWII history.

[quote]My experience has been opposite of this.[/QUOTE]

Most of the OIF/OEF vets I know are against it, especially due to the mandatory anthrax shots we had to get. And if they lost your medical records? You could expect all 6 once again. And now that the VA is exploring the possibility of the anthrax vaccination being related to Gulf Way syndrome, that's just another reason to wait.

Yes this last F1 race was just awesome. 0.7s between Hamilton and Verstappen. Finally Mercedes has some competition. I usually get the US, Canadian, and British Grands Prix every year (last year none of them unfortunately). I love motorsports.

[QUOTE=_zman;1634984443]Lucky to have such a wise neighbor. Talk to him as much as you can :)[/QUOTE]

Super interesting guy. He is completely independent and his license is good until he's 104. He builds WWII model airplanes out of popsicle sticks and still does his "Army exercises" every day. Taught me how to field strip his M1 Garand, we never got to go shooting together yet though.

[QUOTE=Gabbar99;1634985343]Trying to picture this in my head. So the Nazis are in control of a village in France or Poland or some place and some are demanding papers from local people, for political reason whatever that means, and the US Army is standing across the street with their guns and they shoot the bad Nazis who are demanding papers but let the others go and then the good Nazis and the US Army break for lunch and sit down in a cafe together. Do I have that right?[/QUOTE]

Refer to my previous post about. Part of the reason for the existence of the Kennkarten was to identify and control those found unclean by the Third Reich. A German soldier could demand the papers of anyone traveling through a German-controlled territory. If you failed to present them or there were any inconsistencies, you were arrested.

Good stuff! I'm super-stoked for this season!

You should check out F1TV; they have a 7 day free access deal if you sign up. They even have archives and you can watch legendary races and interviews. I'm not shilling, I just think it's really great. :)

If it was German controlled, what army was shooting them if they demanded papers and not shooting them if they didn't?

MSG Roy Benavidez is the baddest mofo in the history of the US Military and particularly the SpecOps community.

I love his quote (paraphrased):

"There are two kinds of warriors - Those who serve tyrants and those who serve free men." (But I think women and babies and maybe goats are also included in that statement.)



I refuse to serve tyrants. That's why I always talk goat$hit about our gubmint. Cuz it's full of commie bastards who sold America to the lowest bidder. It is my wish that a 3-foot, 4-inch diameter cactus full of thorns painfully grow out of these commies' sphincters. If the American People only knew what goes on behind the scene, there would be a freakin revolution tonight.

Carry on.

Yes. I am aware that the Germans made people carry ID cards. Everyone is aware of that. Now, explain how the American soldiers in Germany were able to determine which Germans were asking folks for their ID cards? Or were the Germans in France asking American GI's for their ID's during combat?
