Do you have any idea of how the Japanese troops treated the locals everywhere they went?

I'll not comment on soccer games in many countries- I hear this guy above doing a lot of chewing, right or wrong, but he's not being a rascist.

Iraq wasn't exactly "safe" in a western sense, before we got there, either.

What? Above you are criticizing the guy above for yelling at people, and now you are going to talk about Japanese troops in SE Asia in World War II as being "effective generalship?"

.... and nuclear reactors.

The French stabilized Bosnia! That's awesome! Wow, I bet that would surprise Dick Holbrooke if he were still alive!

"I was smart enough I didn't have too?" Wow. I'll just consider the conversation over right there, you are obviously two smart for me to attempt to discuss these issues with. I expect that AD degree you are working on in modern cultural relativism is going to come in real handy in the work-force.

So, I guess now the Ukranians can launch that sneak attack!

What am I making out? Where did I say Iraq wasn't complex? Quit projecting, you jerk.

So let me get this right, you are saying that all Iraqis are racist and the US shouldn't have utilized any anglos, and that something that might or might not have happened in Southeast Asia 40-50 years ago is relevant here? Sorry, I missed the clip of Colonel Sanders screaming at ARVN troops, It's likely that yelling…

Again, many US servicemen never did get to go back to their 'safe home country.'

No, they were busy trying to get us involved in Libya, Bosnia, and Cote D'Ivorie, because Lord knows, the French Government never had any issues with Mr. Hussein.

I hope this guy did make it home.

Great points. Certainly it is arrogant for the white American soldier to expect the locals to consider a multi-ethnic and religiously diverse nation-state to be worth dying for. Lord knows, I'm sure everyone 'feels better' since whitey has taken off. I use the phrase "white" since you seem to think that the soldier's…

....and sexier looking.

The Show is a great game, surprised it doesn't make the list.

I'm not where there are rich people, I've got the same story, but it was a Camaro.

As somebody who rode that damn metro everyday for years, I hope it was one of the really long esclators, like DuPont, I seem to remember that one being really long.

No, Grabber Blue is a much lighter Blue then Medium Blue Metallic- and prettier. My car came from Frank Vego Ford in Atlanta- and I purchased it in the early-mid 90s in Tennessee. http://www.boss302.com/paint.htm If you know the VIN, these guys on the forums at the Boss302.com website might know where it is!

lovely! I've got a medium blue 70 car also- waiting for the motor to go back in. Bought it in college in the 90s before they got expensive! My 12 is performance white and stock except for a MGW shifter and installing the LS dash gauge pack. It's a great DD.
