  • @harvey1954 My point has been submerged in this argument. America continues to villify Britain, while at the same time claiming credit for British achievemnts. I could write a lot more on this subject but I am busy. Perhaps one day I'll write abook. But, for now, I have a career.

  • @harvey1954 The last German offensive did overrun Allied postions, chiefly those of the British, who had been saddled with an extra 10 miles of unfinished French "defences". The Germans advanced too far beyond the reach of their own logistical train. The British counteroffensive at Amiens broke the German army. Britain had starved Germany to the point of collapse. The threat of a mass air raid on Berlin helped persuade the Germans to sign the Armistice agreement.

  • @harvey1954 You are far too kind to Revere. To be fair to the US troops in WWI, they did pass on the flu to the Germans, who called it trench fever, if I recall correctly. So, the fact that this disease had been kiling Americans justifies spreading it around the world?

  • @PrettiestDogEver Woodrow Wilson was called upon by General Pershing to send reinforcements. Without them the Germans would have overrun the Allies' positions. He knew the flu would spread, but also knew that he had to get troops over quickly. There was no other way over than by ship which would be tightly packed with soldiers. The war ended within a year of the Americans getting involved. Are you seriously discounting American involvement in helping to turn the tide of the war in Allies' favor?

  • @PrettiestDogEver The only problem with Paul Revere is that he gets credit for what Dr. Samuel Prescott should be credited for instead. That's not Paul's fault, but Longfellow. Maybe you should reread some of your own remarks before accusing others of being condescending. Your absurd claim that America's major contribution to the WWI effort was killing off the British with the flu just shows your lack of logic. The flu had been killing off Americans before any of our troops hits Europe.

  • @harvey1954 I'm too busy for this crap. Don't bother me.

  • @harvey1954 There are no other names by which to refer to England. America chose to stand backand, profiteer in the world wars until dragged into both Britain was plunged deep into debt by her defence of freedom yet Americans still portray us as villains in their creation myth and films. Accentuate the positive my arse! America's main contribution to WWI was to send over soldiers known to be infected with "Spanish" flu', killing more Brits in a year than the Germans did in four!

  • @harvey1954 You are so disingenuous. There is a world of difference between a Briton calling himself a limey and aforeigner referring to our country as "limeyland. If you had not meant to cause offence then you could have said so in your first reply to me. Instead you chose to be condescending, which you should have known would cause offence. Paul Revere was a very unpleasant character; see Bernard Cornwell's The Fort.

  • @PrettiestDogEver If "limey" is an insult it's strange that English people would use it to refer to themselves. Check out Weird New Jersey's article on tombstones including one transplanted Englishman, buried in New Jersey, with a tombstone that says, "Blimey, I'm a Limey!" Guess some of them sneaky Yanks switched tombstones after the funeral. I'll have a word with Paul Revere.
