Lol, for some reason a lot of Americans still think that we should give them eternal gratitude for that.
And don't get me wrong, I know my history, and I appreciate the struggle a lot of foreign (not only American...) people went through for us.
But on the other hand, all that happened before my parents were even born....
It's like asking an African American to be thankful that some white people said no to slavery and that he is not plucking cotton anymore...
You'll get a funny look, nothing more...
When children get history lessons here, do you know what they are taught?
Who liberated the occupied countries?? THE ALLIES, not the Americans, the allies...
We know our history and we respect the people that died for us, but don't expect eternal awe if you did not fight here yourself...
If your great grandfather was here 60 years ago, respect for him, but that is where it ends for us.
Not trying to be rude or anything, Glen, you know that.
I'm just trying to make clear what my/our perspective on that matter is.
So for us, you guys are just loud, guncrazy, and eat a lot of burgers... and there is nothing wrong with that
