    I returned to CA and mailed her the engagement ring. She published in the Berlin paper (don't recall which one) that we were engaged to marry. Well wonderful. I was eager to marry her.

    She talks to me on the phone when I called her to explain she wore the engagement ring to a concert with an escort being a "teacher" she had in high school years prior. Red flag. Blazing lights. Super loud horn. She was at this point about 23 years old.

    Dating a man?

    What the hell? But worse, at the concert, per her story, she removes the engagement ring and oooops loses it in the woman's toilet. Can you believe her? She had cheated on me the previous year and told me she got pregnant and I mailed her abortive pills I got from a doctor. Oops, not pregnant at all. Anyway, she had this history so when she told me she lost the ring, she also included in her letter to me that her father told her it was all over for us. She blurted it out to me.

    Anyway, I then dated a super hot American local woman and we got married and had a daughter.

    Two traits for Democrats.

    Fake memory and amnesia.

    Cool story. make a movie.

    The facts are different.

    Franks invaded Iraq and in under 30 days he defeated Saddam who fled to a hiding place. d
    Franks retired as he had wanted to in the very beginning. He promised Bush not to retire pending winning two wars. Factual.

    It was not some enemy that caused the civil war in Iraq, but the dumb **** Iraqis themselves. Bremer at first did not plan to mass layoff the bureaucrats, only those loyal to Saddam. Iraqis in Iraq met with Bremer and declared to make the tribal chiefs happy, Bremer had to lay off almost all of the bureaucracy including low level Iraqis. Bremer did not disband the army, it had already disbanded. All he did was begin the present Army of Iraq.

    So though Democrats blamed Bremer and Bush, that is totally wrong.

    Remember, there was no blueprint on defeating Muslims who wanted to wage war against each other.

    Very good example is the cluster flick Obama made out of Syria. They may wage war on each other until 2100 and millions can die.

    Also Obama ruined Libya. They will fight for eons it seems like now. So don't lecture me on how to defeat Muslims.

    Correction for Jeanette. Bush 41 actually DID invade Iraq and entered it up to maybe 100 miles deep inside. But wonderful story. Loved it. I cite for all the book done by General Fred Franks who commanded the later Tommy Franks then a 1 star General in his invasion of Iraq. Into the Storm is the book by Fred Franks.

    Franks defeated Saddam in 30 days because the Revolutionary Guard did everything but escort the Americans into Baghdad. They fought just enough to keep street cred with the populace. Their reward was to be treated like Nazis in the the campaign of de-Baathism (after all, the Baath are SOCIALISTS, pretty much in name only but still SOCIALISTS and so worship the devil), After that they became the core of ISIS, while Bush appointees were making sure these muslims followed Good Christian Principles, like outlawing abortion. We had a functioning bureaucracy in place which was already running the country and would have continued to do so under our covert control but we kicked them out so they could go and form the most vicious group of Islamic terrorists we've seen yet . We snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in Iraq

    My first glance was hey, he knows what happened. But as I read, I realized he does not. Nope, as a then loyal Democrat, of course I voted for Johnson. I have books on him and his life and his presidency. I was also in the Army under him and under Kennedy. Men I personally served with ended up in Vietnam.

    I served in the same unit shortly after General DePuy departed it to get his first star and later retire with 4 stars. DePuy served as a 3 star in Vietnam too.

    So what really happened since I voted for Johnson and was over 25 and out of the Army?

    Johnson perceived he was a lot smarter than any General was. And he did not trust them at all.

    When he micromanaged, he did it early and a hell of a lot. He bossed the Generals around like they were sergeants. Johnson set the pace that Nixon took over later. Johnson would easily win if he shut his face and let the Generals win his war. Before the major forces invaded Vietnam, we had special forces there who knew what the hell was going on. True leaders in South Vietnam were corrupt but so what? Ho Chi Minh was equally corrupt. And a Dictator.

    By the way, I have also conversed with a number of ex Vietnamese officers who were in combat there. This helped fill in some blanks.

    We will not let off the hook the corruption found in South Vietnam, so do not worry. All in all, talk to any Vietnamese who left around the conclusion of the war between only the North and South and they will explain they did not want communism at all. Communism never saved Vietnam. It was a crap hole until they started using capitalism.

    Nixon was doing it right but he did not invade the North as he could have and should have. It forced his hand so he made a deal. But he had left two years prior to the South screwing the pooch and losing to north Vietnam. We did not lose that war. We were not there at the end of war.

    You sure do not regard our military in good regard. And you claim it was easy on them? A good book for you then is by General Tommy Franks. Title of the book is a deceptive name called American Soldier. But also read a General speaks out by Marine General Mike DeLong. Tip. Study history.

    Who taught you Muslims approve Abortion? That makes you the first one to tell that story.

    Who the hell told you the Baath party would be our stooges and do the right thing to run Iraq? I bet you are loyal to Obama to this very day.

    Times change, we see that USA acts more and more erratic and is on the way out. New powers emerge. The time of USA as worldpower is over. Now is USA, EU, Russia, China. This can be seen in the way, that USA is incapable to project its will abroad anymore. In Syria Assad is still in power. Iran is able to stay deflect US interests in the region ect.

    Reporters that reported on the Iraq war did a poor job as I read them at the time. They must have promoted this nutty idea our men simply drove to Baghdad with the Iraqis simply fading away. Our military fought a magnificent fight. Do not allow Democrats to mislead you to believe they ate hot dogs and drank beer in that fight. Honor the men who fought. They put out a hell of an effort.

    As to our Tanks, few know their actual ability. They can fire at a target in pitch black at 3 miles off and kill it. We have awesome nighttime devices and the cannon is super accurate. Worse, it fires depleted uranium rounds that are deadly. But non radioactive. Air Power. We simply can't be matched nor defeated. Our Air power was truly shock and awe. Stop thinking our military was eating lollipops as Iraqi welcomed them. Iraq fought very hard. Make no mistake. Reporters did a lousy job reporting what took place.

    You were not even a sparkle in your dads eye when I served in Germany. The worst thing any German can do is sell the USA short. Hitler sold us short too. China may as well but they are not even a blip on our radar.

    You saw mentally ill people. Sadly they suffer and despite Democratic party promises, they remain sick and under bridges.

    But I left CA and moved to a Republican state. I see no homeless in this state.

    It was as I told the forum. Sad you do not know since you were not born at the time.

    Actually my favorite city is Berlin. I truly also enjoyed Heidelberg as well as Cologne. Keep Frankfurt.

    Ah that is what you mean by facade. I get it. Kick my country around and when I tell the truth, blast me for being honest.

    We dont allie blindly to a country that is hostile to us, which we see more and more as immoral. Beside that, there is no place for allies in MAGA.

    Im loyal to the chancellor of my nation. Guess thats something you dont understand.

    Beside that as you may notice, Trump achieves nothing regarding that, only breaks the herman american relations and loses business.

    Only because they choose not to pay. You do know that it is in fact against the law in the U.S. to turn away a person in need of immediate medical care?

    Ignoring the obvious point that without President Reagan you might not even have a nation now. At least the united Germany you've were born and raised in.

    You might still be living in the East Germany state. A submissive slave to the Soviets with one million Soviet troops stationed there.

    Its a funny irony of history, that its east Germany that kept the german spirit and now drives Germany to independence and forges it as souvereign power.

    How you explain this?
