Thread: Corps Soldier Killed In Afghanistan

"You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."

Adrian Rogers, 1931-2005

I've spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.

Alles klar?

The rules of warfare:

1. Never fight a landwar in Asia.
2. Never attack Israel.
3. Never March on Moscow.

We should remember the tremendous contribution of the Queen Mother to the war effort:
As the BBC pointed out, she 'bravely remained in London beside her husband' during the war.
This contrasts sharply with the actions of my grandfather who, on the declaration of war immediately left his wife and children and pissed off, first to France, then North Africa, Italy, France (again) and finally Germany.
The shame will always be with us.

No matter how poweful one's armies, in order to enter a country one needs the goodwill of the inhabitants.
