Sir, I realize that you have eaten too much sauerkraut and drank far too many expensive German beers, but I must remind you that in lousy waters (all the shallow stuff was where the best hunting grounds were and there were plenty of well-defended choke points we had to negotiate) and an ocean that made the Atlantic look like a kid's wading pond, we won our sub war. We certainly are not embarrassed by our Pacific victory. *sniff*
Just because we copied a couple German torpedoes, defects and all, and filched U-Boat construction details. And we started the war without a strategy, so we stole one from the......Germans. But we improved it and it worked. And I might add we only dissasembled captured German U-Boats from WWI to find out what the Germans did wrong:p. Other than that we were quite original. Show me a U-Boat with an ice cream freezer. You CAN'T!!!! So based on that clearly superior technology, we rest our case. Pass me one of those captured Lowenbraus, will you?
Edit: What's that? I didn't respond to what he said at all? He was talking about the GERMANS being embarrassed? I am the one who has drank too many expensive German beers? Well....ummmmmmmmmmmmm...................NEVER MIND! Can I have another Lowenbrau?
