Attempted Attack. Is that better; regardless, when a torpedo leaves a german sub and strikes an American ship or even misses said ship with-in our sovereign waters that attack was considered on our soil.
If you want to see the full history of the U-352 and why it's got a hole in it's hull, I'll be happy to send it to you. -
I was you who replied to me first.
I never said you werent an ass, just that the forum is a better read with you here. And I still feel that way despite your obvious disdain for me.
I did encourage you to stay when you threatened to leave. It's a fact.
And like it or not, you are one of the ones I admire most here on the forum. In fact, I am honored to have been on this losing end of the exchange, like so many before me. -
my grandfather was on the lex most of the war, i think he would clock anyone who told him it was politically incorrect :laugh:fukahwee maineyou can lead a fish to water but you can not make him drink it
-
i think your grandfather's got a reason to say it, frankly. just funny that some dude born maybe twenty years after the war is lamenting the inability to call people "japs".
maybe bacchus is 86 and served on the arizona, i dunno.
in that case, it wouldn't be an anachronism to hear him call people 'rooskies', 'limeys', 'huns' or 'japs'.
not like you ever hear us yankees saying "damn. i remember when it was ok to call a southerner 'johnny reb', now you gotta be all PC and act like they are one of us".
and i might need to correct my earlier post. i'm part english and german, so i'm technically a "limey hun-bastard". i will often loose my composure and firebomb myself
maybe i'm a bit touchy. i have a friend who is smarter and works harder than anyone i have ever met, and he still gets (though infrequently) called a "jap" by people much less successful, intelligent, sober, and employed than he is. sure, it's one in a thousand, but it's still there.
actually, to clarify, he laughed when he related the story, because he said "the guy called me a 'chink'. he was so ignorant that he didn't know i was actually technically a 'jap' ". this kid (well, now 45 maybe) was born to parents who were kept in a japanese interment camp.
i'm not PC, but "jap" is a little ignorant if you are anything over 40. any guy on a ship in the pacific during the War can say whatever he wants as far as i'm concerned. but using the word if you grew up safe and warm in the 1970's is a bit of a tell. -
If you can go through the presentation at the Arizona without sheding tears you're under 30.

"Some of my best friends ae Japs."
-

You said "i remember when it was ok to call a southerner 'johnny reb." Well maybe that was ok north of the Manson/Nixon line. :silly:

you must be a carpet muncher!
-
For the record Einstein, when attempting to contract "you are" it is you're, not your. It is bad enough that you play out your problems with CW on this forum, but why did you pick this thread of all threads?
-
If you think your childish jibberish is going to provoke me, you are a month too late..
-
Hold on guys...
I didn't post this so y'all could jibber-jabber a lot of uncalled for jabber-jibber. I just wanted folks to take note of the day and the event that dramatically changed the world. Had we lost we could well be cooking for the Emperor and not permitted to say anything.
