I am sorry but that is carrying it a little too far, those vets have been buried for almost 60 years on some and well over 80 years on the others... no need to bring them home... besides what better reminder to he French what the price of freedom is than to have to stare at our military cemetaries on their soil.
AIN'T LIFE GRAND...

There was a guy on TV tonite that said, "if you see anything made in France and you have the opportunity to get the same thing made in the U.S., buy the item made in the U.S." Besides sounding stupid, I thought to myself that I couldn't remember the last time I saw something made in France except china. Can you?

Ginny Brown-Waite said in introducing legislation providing financial help for the reburial of veterans from the two world wars.
While I am one who agrees with that statement, the cost for what? 100,000 bodies to be brought home and re-buried would be prohibitive.

Sure, bring them home....
That'll teach them to exercise their Freedom and Liberty our soldiers defended. Freedom and Liberty are our rights, not for other countries to use willy-nilly when they feel like it.
We "True Americans" should bomb the crap out of France because they didn't behave like good little puppets. WHERE THE HELL DO THEY GET OFF! The God Damned little frogs should of just shut up and gone along with everything we say because WE ARE AMERICA and they are not!

It both boldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar."

They should shut up and go along because they are wrong. The US has always exercised better judgement than France.
But they don't have to go along. They do need to abstain from poisoning the well.

Such freakin' arrogance on the part of you pompous fools. You are beyond world comtempt.....You can't even call youself member of the human race, can you? You just think your better, smarter and more correct because why? Just because your an American? Or do you attribute it to your Aryan heritage thanks to Father Hitler?

Linda, gee thanks! (my future home LOL)
mlecher, no arrogance... the thread subject is about bringing those buried in France home. A retired vet sent this with some other things to say, which I did not post here.
the small print says:
Normandy Beach on the French Coast
Guess who is buried there and what they are doing to end up as one of the 10,943
Maybe we need new friends. Enough said
I don't believe I have an Aryan heritage.

Linda, no problem
It was sent as a HUGE picture, so I sized it down, way down, so the print is hard to see.
Not my future home or vacation place, France that is ... but you know? I was never interested in visiting there, I know a lot of people do, and they like it, but I just never had a real interest in going there, before all this ever came about.
I can think of a lot of places I like to go, God, even parts of the US that I've never been.
Australias nice and New Zealand!

What's the matter with having an Aryan heritage? What's your heritage? Is it better, worst, the same? Is it of this world?
You have the gall to call others pompous?
I don't mind the arrogance. I'll admit to that (at times).
Amen,
Taller then many but that's another story.
