Hi Guys:
Insult and counter insult are not allowed.
I don't think that anyone has insulted anyone yet.
So noting I must say that Mike posted a large matter which I could not and would not answer in a manner acceptable to him.
No offense is meant by this, I typically post answers that make parrallels far beyond those 'directly' related to the intended point of the original Poster.
I do think Mike and I agree on this point. I cannot write without obscure historical references.
But what about those counterpoint parallels to Germany and South Korea?
What about the effect the assasination of Massood will have in Afgansitan?
What about the de facto religious dividing line running across sub Sahara Africa.?
What about US forces in Kossovo?
What about the continuing effect British nation creation after WWI has in the Middle East?
What about the historical need for conscription vs, the possible misuse of standing Armies by strong executives?
According to one view, these questions are not on point.
Perhaps they should all have raised by me in other thread and I should have responded to the originall post with a yes or no answer to each paragraph.
I draw conclusions from TV shows.
The Military Channel is good. Although I did count at least 12 errors by their film editors in the progam about Stalingrad.
Conclusions:
The editors were made some mistakes.
The program was not bad.
One cannot completely trust TV to be completely accurate.
Ok. please keep weighing in but I would like to continue holding the impression that all here respect each other and each other's opinion.
I think that you all do have and will maintain such respect despite the unavoidable heat generated by some topics and my diffuse responses.
JT.
