Well there is published evidence in his own book about said treason. So it is hardly a myth left or right.

You made the claim, prove it.
And you, yes even you, must understand the diferrence between breaking (even if that happened) and treason.
Also, do you have case stuies on every POW proving that nobody else broke?

Where does he say he cooperated?
And you have blasted your claim that no one else was tourtured into giving up information, particularly after Hanoi Jane busted their cover stories.

Perhap you might want to read up on smedley...his book is called "war is a racket". He is also the guy who ratted off the punks who were planning to kidnap fdr. That you will find in the congressional record, where he testified to congress. He was a vet, with two moh and a brevet medal. If you don't know what a brevet medal is

"For distinguished conduct and public service in the presence of the enemy July 13, 1900, during the Boxer Rebellion". One of three to receive both the Brevet Medal and the Medal of Honor. One of nineteen to receive the Medal of Honor twice.

You have proven your word is useless with your bragging about "playing people" for 400 posts . You lied for 400 posts and thought that proved that you were better than others.
I have read up on Smedly. If we had followed his advice we would never have confronted Hitler. He seems very anti military. Further there is zero, repeat zero evidence that you are in any way related to him other than your word which as many have pointed out is worthless.
And your belief in his crackpot ideas does nothing to help your credibility.

So you are both a liar and an idiot.
Tell the families of the thousands of Americans killed fighting the Nazis that they did nothing.
Did you know that the Brits and Americans captured more Germans in Tunisia than the Russians did in Stalingrad?
Did you know that one of the biggest advantages the Brits had at Alimain was the American made M4 tank.
Did you know that the Russians considered the convoyes into Arkanglisk were essential in keeping them in the war?
Did you know that a military retirement is not welfare.
With "the military is a racket" outlook we would have had to unilaterally disarm.
Do you really believe that we would have been better off if the Russians without help "liberated" all of Europe.
And still there is not one shred of evidence other than your worthless claim that you are in any way related to that man who must have had a head injury while getting his medals.
You are a liar, and a fraud, and to stupid to realize that you have proclaimed your great pride in being such.




MrRodgers -> RE: Obama admits Libya was his biggest mistake (4/11/2016 8:55:25 PM)

Obama's biggest mistake could in fact be Tunisia, it being a successful start-up democracy in the Muslim world...on its own. That would be only if of course one feels they must conclude that Tunisia's success in on the precipice of an impending danger due to radical Islam's influences and we (Obama) are ignoring the coming problems and doing nothing to help strengthen democracy's birth pangs there.

I guess if nobody cares though, legacy will be and really is...of little importance.

Look we've debated long enough about America's contribution to the destruction of Nazi Germany and it was a tremendous contribution. From 41 on. Without US assistance to Russia, they wouldn't have been nearly as successful in going west.

$11.3 billion in 1941 ($150 billion today) including food, oil, and materiel between 1941 and August 1945. This also included warships and warplanes, along with other weaponry.

More: logistical supplies (including motor vehicles and railroad equipment) were of enormous assistance. The USSR was highly dependent on rail transportation, but the war practically shut down rail equipment production. Just 446 locomotives were produced during the war,[23] with only 92 of those being built between 1942 and 1945. [The US] provided 2,000 locomotives and 11,000 railcars, supplied under Lend-Lease, augmenting the existing stock of over 25,000 locomotives and half a million railcars. Likewise, the Soviet air force received 18,700 aircraft, which amounted to about 14% of Soviet wartime aircraft production (19% for military aircraft).

Although most Red Army tank units were equipped with Soviet-built tanks, their logistical support was provided by hundreds of thousands of U.S.-made trucks. Indeed, by 1945 nearly a third of the truck strength of the Red Army was U.S.-built. Trucks such as the Dodge 3/4 ton and Studebaker 2½ ton were easily the best trucks available in their class on either side on the Eastern Front. American shipments of telephone cable, aluminum, canned rations, and clothing were also critical.

The first major bombing sortie over Berlin was almost 900 planes 1/2 mile wide, 2 miles long and they bombed Berlin for over 30 minutes non-stop. If any German generals didn't think the war was lost before that raid...they new it after.

Enough already on how the US didn't help the USSR defeat Germany.

Rave on catshit, I've got you covered.

Compared to the 25 million russian body bags that ain't shit.

Did you know that the Brits and Americans captured more Germans in Tunisia than the Russians did in Stalingrad?

You are mistaken...as usual.


The Axis suffered 850,000 total casualties (wounded, killed, captured) among all branches of the German armed forces and its allies; 400,000 Germans, 200,000 Romanians, 130,000 Italians, and 120,000 Hungarians were killed, wounded or captured.[101]


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Stalingrad

Axis casualties were from 290,000–362,000 men; the losses are uncertain but it is estimated that the German army lost 8,500 men killed during the campaign while the Italians lost 3,700 men killed; another 40,000–50,000 Axis soldiers were wounded.[85] In the British official history, Playfair wrote that the Allies took 238,243 unwounded prisoners; 101,784 Germans, 89,442 Italians and 47,017 others.[87] In 2004 Atkinson wrote that a quarter of a million men captured is a reasonable estimate.[85] Playfair wrote that G. F. Howe, the American official historian, recorded the capture of 275,000 Axis soldiers, an 18th Army Group calculation of 244,500 prisoners (including 157,000 Germans), that Rommel estimated 130,000 Germans were taken and Arnim estimated 100,000 German and 200,000 Italian prisoners had been taken.[87]

Did you know that one of the biggest advantages the Brits had at Alimain was the American made M4 tank.

You mean the ronson(lights first time every time)?


Did you know that the Russians considered the convoyes into Arkanglisk were essential in keeping them in the war?

Not according to churchill or the russians. Total lend lease shipments for the whole war represented about 10% of russias total war time military supplies...aproximately equal to the production of st. petersberg while under siege.
The source for this is winston churchill's 6 volume tome ww2.



Did you know that a military retirement is not welfare.

A gift from hillary's husband...without it you would be on g.r.[8|]



With "the military is a racket" outlook we would have had to unilaterally disarm.

Smedley does not say a phoquing word about disarmament. Get a copy and stop running your mouth about shit of which you are ignorant. Read it and give your jingo a rest.


Do you really believe that we would have been better off if the Russians without help "liberated" all of Europe.

Why should I care what happens in europe? Let those punks solve their own problems.

And still there is not one shred of evidence other than your worthless claim that you are in any way related to that man who must have had a head injury while getting his medals.

Says the <20 year e5 sargent about the most highly decorated man in the history of amerika at the time of his death. You take the word punk to a new level.

The german generals knew it was over after the battle of moscow before amerika was even in the war. The germans filled up a quarter of a million body bags at the battle of moscow and another 90,000 as georgie chased their asses out of town.

Enough already on how the US didn't help the USSR defeat Germany.

I did not say amerika did not help...I said it was not critical.

The first major bombing sortie over Berlin was almost 900 planes 1/2 mile wide, 2 miles long and they bombed Berlin for over 30 minutes non-stop. If any German generals didn't think the war was lost before that raid...they new it after.

The german generals knew it was over after the battle of moscow before amerika was even in the war. The germans filled up a quarter of a million body bags at the battle of moscow and another 90,000 as georgie chased their asses out of town.

Enough already on how the US didn't help the USSR defeat Germany.

I did not say amerika did not help...I said it was not critical.



No you said the Russians had beaten them before we ever got envolved.
