And is this why one of my late family members damn near had his head blown off in Belgium in 1945? And my grandfather spilled his guts all over Flanders in 1918?

My ETO vet uncles would be turning the air blue were they here today. Lots of American blood and misery so Europa could piss it all away and then flip us off.

My deepest regards to your uncles. Another one of mine, a Combat Engineer with Patton’s Third Army, barely made it out of St. Vith in December’˜44, wounded by alive. Poor guy was at Hickhem Field on that Sunday morning, an Army Air Corp mechanic. Wanted to be a pilot . Had his knee shot up. Three years recouping . That ended any chance of being a pilot. Ended up an engineer in the ETO. My late grandfather suffered poison gas attacks twice in 1918. Lost part of one of his lungs. Yeah, they would be cursing up a blue streak if they were alive today. F the Frenchies. They deserve what they get.
