Thanks, everyone, for the history lessons, but I sort of regret making my original joke...

FOR THE RECORD,

A) I know Americans are fat, and anyone can make as much fun of them as they want (but not to their face, because that's kind of mean, and you might end up with a bloody nose)

B) No one country saved any other country in World War 2, it was a joint effort as others have more eloquently and specifically pointed out. I was making a joke about Americans who walk around saying, "We saved your ass in World War 2!"

C) I hope there is not a World War 3 for us to worry about who will save who!

D) You can pretty much assume that everything I say is a joke or sarcasm, and yes, I know, that can get annoying.

E) Wasn't this a conversation about photography? How did we end up talking about the economic fallout of World War 2? Funny how that goes.

'Days of Glory'

that was the english name of that film. Indigenes in French. I don't think they were legionaires. They were Algerians under French rule at the time so they were French citizens but looked down upon. It's a great movie.

nah...we knew it was a joke. We just take religion and politics and run with it.

They had pictures in WWII (when we were saving their asses

) right? So we're not off topic.

Can you imagine what a horrible sound a bunch of Scotts speaking German would make?!

I thought I had succeeded in destroying Ben's thread by starting the "fat American" jokes again, but you managed to one-up me.

What ever do you mean? And who are these 'Scotts' that you speak of?

You'll need ultra wide angle photography to capture my smile at the moment.
