I am sure those books will tell me what war was "REALLY" like.


Of course they dont.

They do however tell me what 'REALLY' happened.
Thats something that wasnt readily apparent to the
average soldier fighting there at the time.

Those of us who were there know nothing. Those who weren't there know it
all.
Does that include your dad?

His dad *was* there, and you were NOT. Don't act as if the intel guys were
giving you detailed premission briefs that included the enemy groundforce
ORBAT and number of panzer divisions committed to the fight--they were not,
you know it, and we know it. Your "firsthand" account is based upon what
little you saw while streaking over the battlefield at 10K plus
altitude--his father was seeing it up-close-and-personal (and which agrees
with the historical accounts in those books you repeatedly ridicule). But
please, keep on flapping your trap--you are just reinforcing your
(increasingly tarnished) reputation with every idiotic utterance you make.
