“I think it is always important to remember what has taken place before, the freedoms we have now, and who we have to thank for that,” said Brent Howard, a teacher at John McCrae Secondary School.

The pen is mightier than the sword. It is those who had the imagination to conceive of freedom to whom we owe that debt, not soldiers.

Yes....they should have sent the Germans a stern note asking them to leave.

No, but let's not make things up.

Soldiers aren't the ones who give us our freedom.

I was pretty tougue in cheek and I meant the US response to the Germans.

"Nuts".

BTW, don't tell any of the 101st fighting there they were "liberated" by Patton. Apparently none of them say that as they were doing fine.

Toye: How do I feel about being rescued by Patton? Well I'd feel pretty peachy, except for one thing, we didn't fuckin' need to be rescued by Patton! Got that?

You came out with the cheesy "pen is mightier than the sword" quote which always sounds cool but never has been proven to work. (Unless you can Google up an example)
Soldiers are made up of the people, who enforce the will of the people from which they come, sacrificing their life if need be to do so. I’ve never seen a paper cut or ink poisoning that would match that.

Passive resistance worked well enough in India.

Ah, some good, old-fashioned folk wisdom.

Soldiers follow orders (for the most part). Beyond that, sometimes they serve the people, sometimes they oppress them.

It was civil disobedience and only succeeded because it was against a civilized democratic nation. I thought you’d have some great examples of invading nations sent packing back to their homeland after a sternly worded letter……or stone tablet.

Folk wisdom and a generalization………

Oh and on the actual topic, I'm glad they are. I was upset when this battle got little recognition in my highschool, or University History class. I studied it heavily for a project. Incredible battle. The Stalingrad and Bastogne for Canadians.

You should have realized what I meant given your knowledge.

Are winky smilies that essential?

Hell I nearly posted about you working to create a time machine so you could go back in time, join the 101st, fight with them throughout the war then go back through the time machine so you could play yourself in Band of Brothers.
