"Have a nice day Herr Dolt"

It's true that many of us Americans are of German descent. Those of us of several hundred years of American descent also have many other heritages (Norwegian, English, Scottish, Welsh, Irish, French, Dutch, American Indian, etc.). Several more recent Russian immigrants have referred to me and Americans like me as "Heinz 57" or "mongrels."

I had great uncles who went back to Germany during the depression and fought in the Wehrmacht in WWII while their brothers were in the US Army, Navy, and AF. Nine boys in the family and five of them died fighting for Germany, one in the 8th AF.

I don't need a lecture on when heritage plays a role in things nor do I need anyone to tell me when someone saluting and going with the tribe rather than thinking merits a “Herr” in front of their name for being so wonderfully 1930s style mindless.
