    lol Citino curiously skirts over why the West views that Eastern European nationalist groups as Nazi collaborators. Its because nearly all of them participated in the holocaust. That’s the official view of the U.S. government that Citino doesn’t know. As a naturalized U.S. citizen, I had to sign a declaration that I did not participate in any Eastern European nationalist group or the Waffen SS during WW2 on my citizenship application.

    I knew a paratrooper who jumped on D-Day. Even in his old age, he would pull up his shirt and show the scar from the ack-ack that hit him in his side. He was always open to talking about D-Day, and when I asked him what he thought about it now, he described it as an utter "blood bath" and a "shit show." "They were waiting for us..." He said. This great American is no longer with us. I'll never forget him.

    Bzzzzzzzzt, wrong! The 1st U.S. Enterprise was a single masted sloop with square rigged sail, about 60 feet long. Yes, she was captured and served on Lake Champlain as you say, but the picture you show is more like the 2ND Enterprise, a privateer schooner that patrolled Chesapeake Bay during the Revolution and a little after. Then there was the 3rd one launched in 1799, serving here and in the Mediterranean with the Constitution, and going through 2 major refits in her career. I'm Enterprise crazy since Star Trek The Motion Picture, where Decker tells Ilia "All those vessels were called Enterprise." while looking at a display of past ships. Been collecting research and models of all the ships ever since. (I just got the XCV 330 "RING ship from Fantastic Plastic, and the big 1/350 scale CV-6 WW2 aircraft carrier, along with 3 definitive books about it.). My sources for the 1st ship, and more (!) are several essays photo copied from library books, History of the vessel Enterprise by Roden, and, most recently, the excellent book "Valcour" by Jack Kelly, which tells the complete, detailed story of that very important event in the Revolution, often overlooked, and the Enterprise's part in it, and even has a good line drawing of the ship on page 258! There's conjecture on the length of the ship, ranging from 45-60 feet, as records don't survive from that time and place, especially with it being a captured vessel. Even maritime scholar Howard Chappelle listed it as "Builder unknown. Exact dimensions unknown" and "-she may have had a figure head." She was also a shallow draft ship, suited for lake and river use. Beyond that, we know next to nothing about her. Kelly's book gives the best overview of it all, to my mind. His book is about the EVENT, not the ships, but happily he doesn't short-sheet the part they played in it. Anyway, just wanted to share this with you, as a fellow Enterprise enthusiast. Have a better one!

    our family members fought Russia first and Soviet Union twice , went to Rostov on Don also twice and fought the british and americans but the worst mistakes they had seen were the americans in the battle around the casserine pass and later further norths when they simply fled from the battlefield. The russians were hard to fight and the americans as they always said would loose against the russians cause a democracy can not survive the amount of victims the russian society is willing to sacrifice. Just to make clear: they can judget about the americans cause a lot became american citizens who also had fought in Vietnam, some of them as former frenchc POW that had gotten the offer to be released but only once they first had served in the french foreign legion. Therefore there are more germans that fought and lost their lives there than americans later . So those who had been there always said that the americans will face a big deffeat and therefore left the vietnam war theater before it had been to late. And for those who can not remember: Vietnam is just 1 of a total defeat in a long row from iraq over somalia to Afghanistan, all had ended in retreats which is a total defeat by all standards. Yes, of cause the average american or rather 90% of them will complain and pretend " We never invaded Somalia!" Which opens a new front or question: Where is Somalia ? Ask Trump and you get the best but wrong answer cause he did not know either but pretended to know : behind the sunset Which could be some how right or wrong assuming that this would mean not in north america and south america. But the average american has no clue at all about a country somewhere in Asia, or in the Pacific Ocean or rather in the Atlantic ocean this island Napoleon had been incercarate ? But it is so easy to help the famous americans out: Somalia must be in Hollywood cause only Hollywood can enlighten the average american . Yes , most will disagree, but what about 3 single words to proof that Somalia must be close to Hollywood to solve the question about a defeat of the USA close to no one knows about or rejects: black hawk down and all complaints will stop, the voices will stop to protest and in the following silence some cells in the brain start counting 1 + 1 that they know about a thing called black hawk down, but really ? And then out of a sudden the pictures of american soldiers defeated by poor african tribes in the capitol of somalia aka Mogadischu will solve the question - but only the superficial one even though it is telling the answer: USA and mostly any other democracy can not afford victims and bear the casualties long enough to win against russia. Even the nicest new weapon system will show an advantage, but only for a short period of time till the russian will have learned to improve. Better to have a turtle tank than to sit in an american helicopter grounded by the tribes of somalia. If they and the vietnamese achieved to defeat the americans than the russians will achieve that too. Just a matter of time till the american army will run out of steam and ressources as seen in Vietnam where so many american war crimes had happened and destroyed the american reputation in foreign societies forever . Napalm to attack civilians and burn children which had to be saved in Europe, not by the USA . Abrams tanks got lost and so many other weapon systems did not outperform the russians for long. Where are the pictures and propaganda about the great storm shadow successes? The russians have learned a lesson and storm shadow is no longer as successfull as before like the Abrams and the other american systems .

    Eisenhower was amazing, the Truman administration had floundered for years mismanaging the Korean War. Eisenhower saw that nothing was being accomplished and put a stop to it, six months into his first term. Ike had been critical of Truman and his handling of the war, and Truman made a huge mistake in challenging him, with a "What would you do" retort. Eisenhower answered with an October surprise in saying he would "Got to Korea," and at this point, his election was a done deal
