Sorta looked similar to an AK-47, which is pretty much all I know to compare it to. Longer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yea but we so ruled at Normandy. *gets serious* My Grandpa was the flight after D-Day. He only talked about twice sadly I was too young so these stories were passed on from my mom. He got very serious (which was very unsual) and say things like "we had to swim so all our ammunition was ruined. and take the bullets from the dead guys.-you couldn't think about what you were doing-you couldn't think about thier wives, children and family that they left. You just did your job and not think". *stays serious* My Grandma's older brother was engaged to be marry, He was in a fighter plane over france. Some german shot the plane-he jump out but his parachute didn't have time to deploy. he left a fiance. My Grandma to this day still hasn't gotten over his tragic death. *seriousness continues* That's tragic. You leave a fiance. I mean seriosuly I sometimes wonder who this lady was-did she have a wedding dress picked out. What did she look like. Whatever happened to her. *Aplogizes for such a glum post* Edited July 3, 2009 by princessgianna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 War is such a tragic thing on all sides. Especially so because in almost all cases it's the leaders, not the soldiers, who want war. My cousin married a Swiss German man. In WWII our grandparents would have been trying to kill his grandparents. He's a great person, and I wouldn't be surprised if his grandparents were too.... and yet, if we wanted to win that war, we had to try to kill them.

Sadly it is sometimes needed (like the WW2 instance). I sometimes wonder whatever happened to those brainwashed germans who after the allies came in realized what a huge mistake they did. I have a book can't think of the title but it's about this German young boy who was totally awed but the Nazi's. He made some great leader in the Hitler Youth and after he realized what a scam he fell for he was like "oh whoops". In the 1980's I think he went to various Jew's Groups asking for forgivness and even after all that time. Many despied him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I would venture that it's easier to be brainwashed than we'd like to believe. (Just look at the pro-abortion movement.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizzi McCwire then Hannah Montaina same basic outline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Hehe, good point. Hitler to Hannah Montana.... I'm thinking specifically about Obama with a lot of this. I'm not speculating one way or another, but he shows some hallmarks of dictators of history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
