In my opinion, this one-word response by General McAuliffe was the perfect embodiment of the American character.

Amen to that.
I always get a kick out of the scene in "The Battle of the Bulge" where the German general is handed a note with news of McAuliffe's response on it.
His question to his adjutant after reading the note is; "'Nuts'!? Vas ist 'Nuts'?"
That always cracks me up when I watch it.

To the purveyors of doom and gloom in our Country; "NUTS" Well said, back in 1944 and now, 60 years later.
Nuts to them! They had best stand back while the rest of us get on with the business of the greatest country that ever was, in all history.

I can only say I agree.
Both my grandfathers served in WWI.
My father and uncle served in WWII.
My brother served in Viet Nam.
I served in Desert Storm.
One son served in Iraqi Freedom.
One son is on his way to Baghdad soon.
I can only agree . .
To the purveyors of doom and gloom in our Country;

"'Nuts'!? Vas ist 'Nuts'?"The Germans did not understand, so the Americans explained that "Nuts" meant "go to Hell" ... LOLOLOLOL

I wish to state for the record that Henry Fonda DID NOT single-handedly win the Battle of the Bulge. He was too busy winning the Pacific war in Mr. Roberts.

Let it be remembered that on that Christmas eve 1944, as the war rained terror on the city, the Lufftwaffe bombed Bastogne not once, but twice. Yet, on that unholy night, history has recorded, an unforgettable Holy mass took place in the town, as wounded Airborne soldiers shed tears as "Silent Night" was sung, and the German POWs were visited by General A.C. McAuliffe himself. When he entered, they were singing "Stille Nacht" and " O Tannenbaum". He wished them a Merry Christmas!SNOOPY'S CHRISTMAS (SNOOPY Vs. THE RED BARON)
The Royal Guardsmen - 1966
O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum,
du kannst mir sehr gefallen!
The news had come out in the First World War
The bloody Red Baron was flying once more
The Allied command ignored all of its men
And called on Snoopy to do it again.
Twas the night before Christmas, 40 below
When Snoopy went up in search of his foe
He spied the Red Baron, fiercely they fought
With ice on his wings Snoopy knew he was caught.
Christmas bells those Christmas bells
Ring out from the land
Asking peace of all the world
And good will to man
The Baron had Snoopy dead in his sights
He reached for the trigger to pull it up tight
Why he didn't shoot, well, we'll never know
Or was it the bells from the village below.
Christmas bells those Christmas bells
Ringing through the land
Bringing peace to all the world
And good will to man
The Baron made Snoopy fly to the Rhine
And forced him to land behind the enemy lines
Snoopy was certain that this was the end
When the Baron cried out, "Merry Christmas, my friend"
The Baron then offered a holiday toast
And Snoopy, our hero, saluted his host
And then with a roar they were both on their way
Each knowing they'd meet on some other day.
Christmas bells those Christmas bells
Ringing through the land
Bringing peace to all the world
And good will to man
GOD BLESS AMERICA, AND GOD BLESS OUR AMERICAN TROOPS

Given the choice between fight and die, and licking a jackboot, well there isn't much choice, is there?
FRee men will always fight tyranny.

If you read the story on the Sub you will see how Italians were treated on the West Coast. They had to move away from the waterfront (and many were fishermen) and those that had businesses on 1st, 2nd or 3rd Street were out of luck. I don't know how long that lasted...
