  1. Wrong. The Americans had two beaches, Utah and Omaha, as well as Pointe-du-Hoc. The British had two beaches, Gold and Sword. The Canadians had Juno beach, in between Gold and Sword.

    Correct, Ami. And here's a source to back it up: http://en.wikipedia....order_of_battle

    But you've forgotten about the fail in Vietnam.

    Fail? Viet Nam (and yes, the correct spelling is Viet Nam, not Vietnam) was not a military fail, as is commonly believed. In every single major military encounter in which U.S. forces had a majority of allied troops, U.S. forces kicked the snot out of NLF and NVA forces. This was due to the insane amount of firepower available to U.S. troops. The reason that North Viet Nam eventually won was because the U.S. pulled out, leaving South Viet Nam with a largely inefficient military.

  2. I'm currently looking at the USN, probably as a Surface Warfare Officer, or possibly a corpsman. A Surface Warfare Officer is basically a catch-all term for a naval officer.

    I'm also considering the Coast Guard, as something in the medical field.

  3. To the dismay of many, the american army is out numbered by millions in some countries... Think the koreas, last time I checked, both had compulsory military service.

    Also, I typed up a large explanation before, but it didn't post, so I'll sum it up. The americans did not win WWII, they joined halfway through it, and spent most of it fighting the japanese, the Nazis were bet by the British colonies, and the (un)occupied countries. Hitler got his ass handed to him by Churchill and Stalin, not the US... mind you, America did participate, but even if they didn't, the nazis still would've lost. The japanese, well, who knows. Considering most of that war was taken by the americans, well that's up to them. As for the USSR, they were doomed to fail from day one... Americans didn't overthrow them, they kinda went down on their own... Mind you, the americans did fight them a lot, and hold them back, but didn't directly cause the collapse, instead they were just another pawn.. Remember, the soviet leaders didn't care about the people, and therefore would waste and spend lives and money like it was going out of style, this led to their demise..

    To add on to this, the world was about two months away from getting blown away. If the Red Army had not reached Berlin when they did, then Hitler would have had nukes in about two months. And I'm sure we can all agree he was insane enough to deploy them to certain places---London, D.C., Moscow. Hitler would have won, if the Red Army had not reached Berlin and taken the city.

  4. Actually,

    I think your about to open a can of worms,be prepared for some answers you may or may not want to hear.As far as I'm concerned,I grew up 30 minutes from the border and we always used to holiday in the states when I was growing up and I always met good,down to earth people...but I'm Canadian,so I get along with everybody.

    Your title is kind of vague,do you mean what do we think about americans or the actual language which is not american but english ha ha.(or is this like the freedom fries thing,mad at england and rename the language)

    Actually, that is not entirely true. American English is a dialect of English, and there are sub-dialects of American English. Oh, and that picture in your post is extremely offensive.
