Always a wise idea on Free Republic. Thanks for your insightful posts on this thread. Good After-Memorial Day to you, SAM. :)
German general Kesselring, speaking of the 36th Division, Texas Army Reserve, described them as the best American division he had faced in the war, with the exception of the 45th Division, Oklahoma National Guard.
Thanks again for your service, and I'm sorry if I stepped on your toes.
No comment to you, except have a good day.
Haven’t you been here long enough to know you don’t argue with the conspiracy crackpots?
I don’t know why you sound so strange about the mention of these divisions, it’s just routine military history, I don’t get how it sounds so personal to you.
I know that Kesslering mentioned the 3rd and the 36th, but what did he say about the 45th, it’s natural to ask.
The 36th is Army National Guard, not reserves.
No, this internet thing always sucks me in, I just can’t get it in my head that these troll types will go on forever playing games. In real life I can see it quickly and move on, but in print, I seem to keep thinking that they can be talked to.
I think this Secret Agent Man has never been in the military, but obviously wants to leave everyone thinking that he has been.
His work as a secret agent must be where he gets all his insider information.
No one asked him to discuss his personal history.
If they really believed in these secret cabals of unlimited power, they wouldn’t be talking about it on the internet. The shadowy agents of the Illuminati would have already taken them to the re-education camps long before now. So I think it is just a game.
Hitler started Germany down the path of WW2 by convincing the German people that shadowy forces, which included powerful bankers, conspired against them.
I spent yesterday with my wife’s uncle who was wounded in Saipan.
My neighbor once said “he was an SOB, but he was OUR SOB”.
He also said Patton had the habit of showing up at the oddest times. Seemed he ran 3rd army from his jeep.
Anytime the General saw a small group of infantrymen he would talk to them about the chow, ammo situation and mail
I don’t recall him ever telling me his unit, all I know is he was a rifleman. I remember seeing scars on his shoulder, he was wounded twice, but never stayed in the hospital.
I seem to remember he didn’t think much of Bradley either.
Well, no one, except for you:

Where I come from, that's asking to discuss someone's personal history.
Why are you trolling him, ansel? I generally like your posts, but you have a bee in your bonnet on this thread.
No, that isn’t a discussion of his personal history.
That was a question about his using “us soldiers”.
This was a military thread on Memorial day and that troll got on here to trash it and tell us that he is sorry for we veterans and that we are pawns.
I think he never served at all and yet refused to admit it and wants to leave the impression that he did.
Asking if someone served in the military is not a “discussion” of their personal life, and especially in the context of this anti-military troll’s posting on this thread.
Yes or no to an honorable discharge, is not a discussion of one’s personal life.
I was spot on in post 21, your jumping in to back him is the mystery, not me wanting to know if he served in the military.
