To: the scotsman; ZULU
You need to understand how awful the US educational system has become.

ZULA has no personal recollection of 1918 or 1942, he knows what he learned in school and from the popular media. That US forces learned modern maneuver warfare from the British 8th Army was very well known to those Americans deployed to North Africa, but World War II may as well be the Battle of Hastings so far as American schools are concerned. That U-235 could support uncontrolled fission was a discovery made at Birmingham University and communicated by the Brits to the US? American students don't study physics, much less the history of physics.

To: Mr. Lucky
Uh, I apologized to the Scotsman.

I know more about history than you do, and here are differing opinions on the subjects broached by experts.

And its ZULU, not ZULA, jerk, from the movie on Roarke's Drift - the one with the British Actors.

Did you ever hear of Roarke's Drift, jerk? Do you even know what a “drift” is? So, jerk, don't accuse me of being an historical ignoramus.

By the way, I detect a bit of racism in your posts. Sorry to disappoint, but I'm NOT black.
