Um. You _do_ know that the Normans (Norse Men) were vikings hung out in

My grandpa came to the US from Austria in 1939, and then he and his
brothers went back to fight the Nazis as a member of the US military-
and he was the only one to survive. Two of my uncles and a cousin
from Czechoslavakia fought in Vietnam, and one of them gave his life
as well. So, does that mean that Americans are cowards as well, since
they had to have Austrians fight their wars for them? You don't just
kind of *hang out* in a country for multiple generations- they were
French.

They didn't join the French culture. They didn't speak French. They
kept their Nordic naming conventions. The attacked in conjunction with
the Norwegian vikings. Other than language, culture, and alignment,
sure, I guess you could call them French. (sheesh)

Right. Tell me again how surrendering as quickly as humanly possible is
"couragous"?

You do not have to fight a war to have courage.

Right, just roll over and let Germany come on in, over and over, and let
others bail you out. That, my friend, is courageous. What do you
think, 2030 for the next time? That's my guess.
