Anyone here see the series? One of the greatest series on tv i have ever seen. Seems a ripoff to pay like $80 for the whole series.

Ya, I love it. I might ask for it for Christmas. I love World War 2 shit, one time I can rally behind my country instead of being ashamed of what they did. They tried to ruin it for me with Hiroshima and Nagasaki though.
80 bucks ? Damn, I haven't seen it for less than $100.

Brilliant series. I own the collection and if you have the time and ability to stay sitting for long periods of time then i suggest trying to watch it all the way through over a day or two. It made me get so much more emersed in it that way then the normal weekly wait from watching it on tv. But either way its a damn good watch.

brilliant wasnt it. The love between the soldiers, the valor of the leaders (and Winters was one hell of a leader, brilliant under fire, and fuck you who disagrees with me) The A-bombs hmmm, touchy subject isnt it? It was predicted over 2 million would die before the war was over if the bombs werent dropped. Hard to tell tho, but the War that wasnt fought in the pacific was amazing. Anyone love Saving Private Ryan as much as me? Jesus Tom Hanks is great

Enigma, how the US won the war in WW2? Well when you give the American people a real true reason to fight. You better watch your ass lol.

the troops that fought in Nam had no idea why they were there, they just fought to stay alive. How did we win? It wasnt even declared war, we didnt lose, didnt win, just died

Or when you don't give them a reason to fight right?
Like Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Cuba, Haiti, Grenada, Kosovo, Iraq, Libya, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Panama.......

They are good films and everything but are america bollocks when it comes down to it.

WW2 was a good reason to fight, and most of the people fighting now dont believe in what they are fighting for anymore, just like in Nam. I dont like Patton, the person, tho ive never seen it. So im an idiot for supporting WW2? Yes i do fully support the US involvement in WW2. Dont give me all this shit that BOB is all propaganda. I know at least 5 101st airborne guys who fought in WW2. My g-gfathers friends, and i know alot of vets.

Band of brothers was a great movie and so was Saving Private Ryan. BUT I didn't like the story behind SPR and like someone said "how the americans won the war" but the film itself was very nicely made... :)
Chewillneverdie
12th January 2004, 18:06
the landing was very realistic, how did SPR show how we won? just showed a squad on a rescue mission through hell and back. BOB has to be the greatest mini series of all time tho

Holy mother of God
I should really start to read more of your posts, Chewillneverdie. You do realize that Che Guevera is not a bobble head doll right? He actually lived.. And you are going to tell me that you support the US battling in WW2.. Are you stupid? Sorry but this is not the only post (people please read many of Chewillneverdie's posts, for he contradicts many, many things about himself) that I have read that you make absolutely no sense. Which again leaves me to believe you have absolutely no background info/knowledge about anything you talk about except for your family being so poor and fighting in god damn wars. Honestly how do you support the United States in WW2, and at the same time support Che Guevera? Have you ever heard of communism? Yeh thats the thing that Hitler and his self-proclaimed third reich was about, and yes that is what the USSR was about. And holy shit (sorry, I have just come to a last straw) is that not what Mr. Che Guevera himself was all about, communism? Toot my horn if I've ever seen one (makes no sense, just completely, and utterly dumbfounded at this)! Please do yourself a big favor, and each time you write a post, research every word, sentence, and phrase that you write, then read over it about 3 or 4 times, then do some additional research only to make sure that you have some amount of knowledge in your head. I am considerable sorry if anyone finds any of this offensive, but please take some time to read around for some of this young, confused minds, posts and you will feel the same way.

Sorry i am here to correct myself for I spoke out of complete rage and did not clearly define Hitler's "communism". Correction, Hitler's attempt at communism. Has there yet tbeen a completely correct communism state directed by "the Communist Manifesto" by Marx? This is in no way a sympathy for your stupidness, only a correction of mine.

hahahaha, as always i shall put it, i support the troops. Maybe not the war, but the troops. lol So Hitler was right huh? hmmmm seems like he did an awful lot to keep the commies from getting power. So how many people here dont agree with the US for fighting against Hitler? And im curious, what to you have to say about the Jewish people and their sufferings under Hitler? Surely you dont agree with it. So what would the world be like if Hitler conquered Europe and Russia?
Individual
16th January 2004, 02:42
WTF are you talking about? Did I once say that I supported Hitler? Are you blind? Have I not told you numerous times now to read closely what people write before you open your mouth?
Surely the Jewish population suffered terribly. However at what point in any of my posts have I in any way supported Hitler or his Third Reich? So why have you changed the subject from your explanation of all of your contradictions to putting words in my mouth? Very clever, however I am still waiting for your response. Please pick a topic under which I have found your contradictions in which to respond to.. I am very curious.
And to answer your question of how would Europe be if Hitler would have conquered it...
Is my name Nostrodamus? I can not tell you what would have happened because it did not. Numerous things could have happened. They didn't.

hahahaha, as always i shall put it, i support the troops.
Nice dodge. Do you say you support the troops so you can still hang around with your right wing friends? Do they accept you more as a "leftist" because you say you "support the troops"? I'm sure that they're were plenty of people in Nazi Germany that "supported the troops".
You support the troops? So you support when they shoot taxi drivers, when they shoot 12 year old girls collecting firewood? These guys weren't drafted. They volunteered to be in the service. They're nothing more than corporate mercenary killers.
If you support the troops, you support what they're doing.
Please change your user name. You're no kind of communist or leftist.

lol isnt this about WW2? The US were pretty good compared to alot of the other countries, Russians were pretty harsh on the german people. Disgustaped, I dont have very many right winger friends, Im the biggest leftist at my school lol i just dont take many people that serious here, and this place is really just for me to keep my study of marxism and communism going, oh and to have a decent time. Im also alot mellower to right wingers, lol thats how ive been accepted, after awhile they realize there is no need to go off and "nuke alla muslams". oh and no kind of leftist :huh: odd thought isnt it Comandante Vox Populi of Fighting For Freedom and Equality, not a leftist. lol never seen my site i take it www.xanga.com/antibushmovement. Anyone going to Oklahoma D-Day? over 3,000 people go so im planning on setting up a booth, im having some people work on some flyers, and now i have some decent donations coming in maybe something if Bush gets reelected again, so authors of any type (even those who hate me, put our differances aside, just this once lol for a greater good) If any of you plan on going let me know, my reps email is on the site or you can just tell me here. I need some good writers for the site and flyers, and maybe some extra protection at D-Day, seeing as how theres gonna be a few rednecks there. Sorry a bit off topic haha

WHAT ? Listen, I'm not going to justify CheWillNeverDie's statements, but I have to ask you something.
So you actually believe Hitler was a communist ? Are there still people out there this stupid ? Listen kid, just because they were called National Socialists does not mean they were in any way left wing. If I call myself Tinkerbell it doesn't mean a whole lot.
Explain to me how Nazi Germany was a Socialist nation, please. Cappies try to push Hitler on the Communist side, Communists put him on the Cappie side. In reality, he was neither, he was a filthy fucking gascist. Fascism is an amalgamation of everything horrible about Capitalism and Communism.
And yes, I think the U.S most definately should have been in WW2, just as I think the Soviet Union should have been. You have no business speculating on what Che Guevara would have though about it. He obviously was anti-fascist. He wasn't an idiot, and anyone with half a brain can see that Fascism is far worse than Capitalism. Before you make accusations about me, I should mention, I've read every word of Capital, the Manifesto and alot of other shit. Challenge me on this, please. I'd love to discuss it.

Not to change the subject, but first off. Learn respect, maybe I have been misinformed, however who are you calling kid, Mr. "i'm asking for it for christmas" ... Mommy, Daddy! Besides this. You are correct. And I have gone against what I have said before. This does not mean I did not research the topic. However I have, (unfortunetely for myself) been misinformed for my whole life. I obviously realize Hitler was not running a correct communist state. He was not running a communist state at all. However I was under the impression that he thought himself communist. This is why I put that he did not run a successful communist affair because I had thought that he thought of his third reich as communist. So you have corrected me. This is no challenge, because I myself have not read Das Kapitol, however if you feel that you would like to discuss this, and the communist manifesto. Then we shall, for I am up for it.
However CheWillNeverDie. Quit whining about I am only picking on you. I am clearly pointing out that the statements you make are contradicting and that you clearly do not make sense of yourself. So before you open your mouth of yours and keep talking of these groups you are in, realize that maybe I have a life, and I have been unable to respond to anything on this site for the past few days. So before you jump to conclusions, just shut your mouth.
