Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Well, he could not really talk about American heroes fighting Nazis, could he?

His boss would certainly not approve.

So he doesn’t want them in the U.S. but he doesn’t like them elsewhere either? Dude, stop projecting your racism onto other people. Just because you are a dingbat bigot doesn’t mean anyone is or wants to be.

Much of the French military in World War II were foreigners. The French Expeditionary Corps was composed mainly of Algerians and Moroccans. It was this unit which broke through the Gustav Line in the Battle of Monte Cassino. Then there were the Senegalese Tirailleurs. The British military had Indians and the Gurkhas from Nepal.
