      @@mikeyj9607 we honored a Japanese kamikaze pilot during world war 2 he tried to fly his plane into a us navy battle ship. The soldiers were gonna just throw him the water but the general made sure they gave this japanese fighter a proper military burial at sea. We realize we can't blame the soldiers their fighting for their nations. Thats why we hold nations leadership responsible because the leaders gotta send someone off to fight an die the leadership dont go fight and die so we do try to honor all service men amd women equally.

The typed word doesn't do my inflection justice, so please understand the next words are meant to HONOR that man and not ridicule him. That man died for OUR freedom as much as our own Continentals did. Of course we would honor him.

      From what I know, I could also be wrong or have been given bad info. He was buried deep as a sign of respect. He must have put up one hell of a fight. Back then, to even get buried was something seldom done on the field. I am of Scottish decent so if he is like my family and I, I know he did. My family is from the outer Hebrides. On to the info, I took some higher level classes of history and this was one of the things they were teaching. Takes more time, more man power and energy to dig deep so only those that did something remarkable got buried and the deeper the more respect. The deeper was to keep animals from digging them up and from being disturbed.

The gross misrepresentation in Mel Gibson's film the Patriot, was totally one sided. The burning of a church full of non-combatants did take place but the evil deed was committed on 7 March 1782 by Patriots at the devoutly christian Moravian settlement of Gnadenhutten in Pennsylvania. 93 civilians, men, women and children wrre clubbed to death, scalped and piled beside the building. The following day more victims were added , also scalped and the entire village burnt to the ground to conceal the crime.

      Exactly, but be warned that you'll be treading on a lot of American toes with this comment, so expect some hostility. Im sure you're aware of the shroud of nation building mythology that American schools cast over the real facts of the American War of Independence, which allows no contradiction by the British side.
      Many Americans believe that a mere Declaration changed the cultural and family ties of a people overnight, who, if they weren't born British, were the sons and Grandsons of the British, just like the first 7 Presidents, all of whom had British family.
      Since British DNA in American blood has been so substantially reduced since the C18th, by so many generations of immigrants coming from elsewhere, its interesting to think, that as a British white male, with a partial family tree going back to the 1600s, my DNA is probably a lot closer to both sides of this conflict, than the average American today.
      However, I very much appreciate the pomp and circumstance the Americans are displaying by honouring these fallen soldiers in this way. Bravo..........

Ploughshares into swords and back into ploughshares. The farmers have erected their own memorial to the men who served. Hand-painted illustrations of P47s and some bowls of potted plants. American heroes are respected here. Half the cars in the car park are Japanese or German, but that doesn't matter. Together we taught them a lesson they won't forget.

The Americans at the time considered themselves British at the time and was just looking for fair treatment, rather than a separation when the fittest conflicts began. Read the Declaration Of Independence as it enumerates these causes and effects which ultimately led up to the split.

    • @lizardlenny
      @lizardlenny Год назад +9

      This is what I found from a google search:
      There is absolutely no doubt that the nicknames ‘Ladies from Hell’ or ‘Devils in Skirts’ were neither invented or used by German soldiers to describe kilted Scottish troops. It is a simple fact that German sources do not mention that nickname at all. The contemporary sources available are never German, and always refer to Allied soldiers using those names to describe themselves. Even if attributed to the Germans, nowhere is there any factual or anecdotal evidence that a German soldier ever used them. First of all, it is important to know German soldier slang hardly had any flattering, contemptuous or scoffing nicknames for the foe.
      Usually, German soldiers did not differentiate between English, Scottish or even Australian troops - all of which were commonly known and described as ‘Engländer’. The average German soldier understood little about the cultural and national differences of Britain and the Commonwealth, as the recorded comments of a number of German soldiers clearly show:
      ‘The English soldiers here are mostly Scots and even though they are strong men they wear short skirts (no trousers) which only just cover their knees. They are strong men, but there is nothing a German soldier is afraid of’ (Gefreiter Richard Wientzek- Reserve-Infanterie-Regiment 11, 11 October 1915).
      ‘The English soldiers opposite our lines are men from Scottish Highlands who consider themselves to be an elite. Yet they fall just like the rest’ (Leutnant Bernard Kortzfleisch, 4. Guard Field Artillery Regiment).
      ‘On the roadside a number of English dead. Some wear skirts and as it seems no undergarments of any kind which is quite disgusting.’ (Unidentified German soldier, 31 October 1914).

      Thank you for your service and Welcome Home. I have two books written by Kregg Jorgenson, an Army Vietnam Veteran who hails from Seattle, WA. LRRPS in Cambodia: MIA Rescue and Acceptable Loss. The first book I'm still trying to finish. I could hardly sleep the first week. He was there in 69-70.

    Hell yeah. THIS is history. It should NEVER be removed, changed, deleted, forgotten. We should ALWAYS show respect for those who had a hand in what we are today. Doesn't matter if you were friend or foe. Everyone had a family, a life, beliefs, and they deserve to be treated humanely after their passing.
    I have some good corn whiskey here sitting next to me. I'm gonna raise a glass to these fallen warriors.

      Correct.
      Remember history as accurately as possible, warts and all.

      It SHOULD be removed if put up for the wrong reason, hence why there shouldn't be any southern statues up in a town center, rather than a history museum. No participation awards for those who fought to keep others in bondage.

      Sorry to have to correct you but Scotland is part of Britain.
      The Scottish, the English, the Welsh made up the British Army and the Irish had regiments that made up the army .

      Scotland is in the UK making the Scots British so all you had to say was the British.
      The UK is a soveign country making up 4 regions/countries Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
      People from the UK are British and have a British passport.
      But also;
      People from Scotland are Scots, People from England are English, People from Wales are Welsh
      People from Northern Ireland are Northern Irish
      So people from Scotland are both Scottish and British
