The Danish Queen said said someting important in her speech

Every year we have honored the Danish Resistance men. We have, however, forgotten those who gave their lives in the cold North Atlantic ocean by transporting weapons and ammo.

A friend of mine posted a picture with a related text it had a F-word in it so I can't post it here.

A shame

I can give you the text cleaned

"An 83 year old British Gentleman arrived in Paris by plane. As he was fumbling in his bag for his passport. A stern French Lady asked if he had been to France before. He admitted he had indeed been previously. The Lady sarcastically said then you should known to have your Passport out and waiting Sir.

The Gentle man said I didn't have to show it last time. Impossible the Lady said you British have always had to show your Passport to get through here.

The man responded by whispering

"Well when I came ashore on the beach on D-Day in 1944 I couldn't find any Frenchmen to Show it to."

The last sentence said it

First you do show respect for the elder and furthermore if you meet an so old Englishman you can be sure that he have probably been fighting in WWII

Many here (myself included) have family who actually took part and are rightly proud of them.

I suspect you knew before posting there would be a reaction from members here and in response to that I have deleted your post and hope you will come to the realisation this is not the time or place to post what you have.

If you feel strongly enough about what happened on this day or what has happened since I think it best if you start a new thread and the moderation rules will be applied equitably as they do to all threads and posts in this forum.

Respect is a two way street and on this day rightly so.

Aw, too bad, really...
And yet everything I said was told in a correct and respectful way... :hmm2:


Had I known that my post would be just deleted the way you did, I'd have gone all the way and would have mentioned sexual exactions of the GI's on the french womankind, since Americans were allowed to use and abuse of their position of liberators to enjoy french females in some not so recommendable ways.

Some of those liberators acted fairly with women in here.
But what's totally unbearable is the way those at the top in that so-called country of freedom basically used the free sex argument as a fair mean of recruitment to hire more people in the army, to the point quite a bit still keep bad memories of the american presence in France. Conduct your own researches, some american historians dared to destroy the myth of liberators. Many boys were just sure that french flesh was very frivolous, and the US high command kind of sold the landings in Normandy like erotic adventures, pretty much the only way to galvanize little soldiers to be sent on the beaches to face that hellish german steel storm which so much poor young men just have not been able to cope with and resist on the beaches...

And let's not forget to mention racism existed already at the time, so american headquarters decided to hang publicly black soldiers accused of raping - scapegoats of an army based on racial segregation, at the time at least - and...

Well, that's enough for now, I guess.
I can't put up with the way people see it all nowadays, I'm just tired to hear about that crap getting romanticized more and more as time goes by, each and every year.
But well.

Alex, could you provide some proof for these claims. Links to credible and non biased sources if you please. If you can't some people might think you are making this stuff up.

We are currently in contact, but can't ask her out. I was very (un)intelligent as sign up for USMC summer boot camp.

With the Young Marines? Or does the Corps run it? :hmmm:

EDIT: Sorry for the off-topic...

Pretty sure he means to say that he enlisted in the USMC and is going to boot camp some time this summer.

Probably did like me graduated high school and went to boot camp a few days later.

He is not there yet though he'd not be posting here if he where. He is regretting choosing to enlist at a point which requires attendance of basic training during the summer.

Actually this is a benefit as in the summer portions of days will assuredly get black flagged due to heat index in other words a little bit less PT still it will suck but it is what it is.

I doubt it since he's told me he's not done with high school yet.

Figured it would be something like what I do.... :ping:

I'd assume it will be one of these: https://au.answers.yahoo.com/questio...5001936AA68Xhd

IIRC he said he was 14 yo so unlikely that he'd be accepted into the Corps yet.

Never heard of the Devil Pups. Heh. Nice naming.

Looks like a more boy-scoutish version of what I do. Cool though! :arrgh!:

I'd like to get out and do more of this kind of thing. I've been looking at Pathfinder School that's reopened for Civil Air Patrol here at Ft. Leonard Wood....or Hawk Mountain Ranger School... And at some point I'm going to go back to "our" boot camp and staff it as an NCO.
