Merkel looks lovely. *rolls eyes* .... she looks angryand jealous.
I was in Germany as a teen, when Reagan was president. The Germans absolutely hated him. For some reason, they appear to hate when America is strong.
"99 Luftballoons" was pretty much meant as a slam on Reagan.
Me too, but I was in the US Army and it was only 15 years after the end of WWII.
I spoke fluent German, was 18 years old and had both a rifle and a gun and was with the winning army...life was good.
Stationed in Schweinfurt, living in the barracks of the SS Troops {with tile shower floors} and 5,000% better than any barracks provided for any American troop any where in the USA.
Two soldiers to a room with their own bath room, {enlisted, not officers} the officers had individual rooms.
The NAZI's were pricks but they treated their military very well.
The German's both loved and hated the Americans, but that was almost 60 years ago and having been back several times, I think, for the most part, they blame their problems on us.
