Directected specificly to Darksheer.

This is a tamiya post and directly does not pertain to me in general,however i do read most of the posts but try to stay out of those that don't pertain to me in my hobbies.

Now i don't care what you have to say about Tamiya tanks,that don't concern me.

But being an ex-military man and who has a very high reguard for my country,I would caution you to use care in any remarks that could be taken as a slap in the face to a typical american.I'm very thin skined when it comes to remarks of those natures.Now WWII has been over for many,many years now and a lot of good people lost their lives because of it.Most of the history is well documented and very easy for one to read,study,and to try and understand if it is possible to understand how a hand full of people could bring about such disstruction and death.A lot of countrys as i write this has fellow countrymen who are laying their life on the line as we set here writing and playing on this tank forum in total safety.Your and my freedom is still being payed for with the lives of good people as i speak who i would guess would much rather be here posting about building a model tank than having someone trying to kill thier ass.

You are walking a thin line here and again i would use a little restraint in comments.

My personel opinion is i don't much care if you like us,or don't like us as a country.Save that for your buddies on your side of the fence who i'm sure will injoy it.

One thing i have allways liked here on RCU is the fact that it is open to anyone around the world and it is fun to be able to inter-act
with people who one would never have the chance to normaly do this with.

I have allways concluded we never was ''officialy'' at war until the bombing of Pearl Harbor and i believe it was made official on December,8,1941 when we declared war on Japan and Hitler declared war on the Usa shortly after that.Now if this is incorrect you can straighten me out on your date of when we was at war in europe and japan (official declared war).

bigmig your dates stated are completely correct your president did declare on the 8th. I have been serving now over 25 years and I have the utmost respect fof american service personnel today and in the past and I have enough friends and relatives that have died overseas as well and I wish they were all here to be able to post on a forum as well being we work with american forces constantly heck half my base is america up here. the comment I made to the armchar general was that he deemed himself correct and everyone else wrong and franky america nor canada for that matter teaches history anymore and people end up being misinformed "i saw it on TV it must be true" there were a few things going on in the thread untill one individial started slamming and insulting people and thats when i made my post
