How do you feel..?? This sums it up for me.
 

Actual letter copied from marine in Bosnia.

Kick ass, gotta love it man.

Considering half the facts that she used in that message is wrong, well, I can't say the french guy is wrong.

no comments on this whole war thing until i see hard evidences
until then, peace has to be preserved

Which facts are wrong :) I would love to hear this :D

note , deathjag is a canuck.. i think he's refering to the wars.. i guess they teach things differently there :rolleyes:

we learn not to provock a fight before hard evidences have been seen
otherwise things can get really wrong if motives are mistaken

Agreed :) but hey it's all cool I want to keep any flames down in this room. Better to know what other people besides the us are thinking. I know most of the world hates the usa and I understand some of the reasons but they always whine and moan until we save there butts. Has been proven time and time again so I under stand why schools in different places teach them that. Then when we have to go in an enforce everything most of the world is waiving American flags *LOL* We are kinda like parents, the kids always hate us then thank us later *LOL*

Canadian, you guys do not fight, you just sit up there and smile and be happy which I envy that in allot of ways. Oh nevermind *LOL* will satrt another big huge flame that will get locked haha :) But do agree until there is proof there is no reason to fight. And so far the leaders of the us have kept us out of the loop with hard facts so even I have been a bit skeptical, but this week I beleive they are supposed to release the hard facts. And when they do any country that does not back us even if it is just a nod to kick that shit brains ass then they can have the middle finger and whenever they DO need help from us I wish we would not, but as usual stab us in the back and we help anyways. I mean hell we are the only country in the world that would bomb and then drop right after it a crate of food and medical supplies, who said we do not care..?? hehe :D

we do not fight?

we sent thousands of troops and many of the world's most advanced destroyers to Aghganistan to aid the US war against terrorism

US dropped bombs on our soldiers and now you say we dont fight?
lol
