i see where this is going, comparing the us army to the nazies???? nice play on the "i dont have a good responce so i will go to the non-logical comparison and name calling card".
seems that i see in alot of answers here are more "anti-american"than dealing with the topic and with that attitude, this will continue till the name calling goes to crank phone calls and doorbell ringing and could end at, God forbid, someone taking their red ball and going home.
believe what you want, and live with it, i know the truth, and that is something i will live with.
just spent the last week training iraqi soldiers to protect themselves and convoy preperations, soon, they will be confident enough to take it upon themselves and we will leave sometime after that, and allow themselves to make it on their own as a free people.
your welcome.
btw, you stated the over 70% of the nazies were taken care of by the russian soldiers, gee, does that mean your harsh russian winters held a military rank or position ????
take care and God bless

Gecko, you are forgetting the millions of Russians who died In World War 2 trying to save the world from Nazism.
And you are being a bit hypocritical with your 'Russian Winter's' Joke, that's just as bad as the name calling you were reffering to.

you know what, your right, 2 million russians did give their lives to fight evil nazi orginization who murdered 12 million people, and for that, the russians will always be remembered for their bravery, as well as all the men who gave their lives during that time to rid the world of the nazi terror....i never condemed the russians, i made a comment refering to us being compared in iraq to a group who tried to exterminate a race.
and as far as the russian winter crack, well, its apart of history, the nazies tried 2 twice to go into russia, and were stopped by the russian winters..its history, fact.....i just asked if the winters were part of the army cause the same person who refered to us as nazies stated that over 70% of the nazies were done in by russian soldiers....and soldiers alone
now if you think thats name calling, than i guess i hit a sensitive bone, but that had nothing to do with name calling, it had to do with fact.
the russian soldiers during WW2 were a great assit, just like the albanians and soldiers from kosovo i fought next to during this campain

well, i can try to explain it to you, although i dont know all the answeres, i didnt decide myself to spend over a year away from my wife and kids to come over here to do the job my commander and chief ordered me to do.
lets see, to replace the iraqi leadership from saddam to another...well, in a nut shell, we just ousted a tyrant and allowed the iraqis to re-elect their own leaders.....
as far as the resorces and oil, well, i dont know anything about it, if the american are taking it, i am not seeing any of it, as far as i know, if we had their oil reserves, than why are we paying over 50.00 (an all time high) for the oil we are soposivily stealing....
i hope i answered your questions, any others, please inquire with mr bush and the us government, im just a u.s. nco message berrier, sending a message of freedom from mr george w. bush to the good people of iraq...and i think that is a good thing.
i hope that helps

Just to clarify one thing- it was 20 not 2...
it is estmated that about 100,000 iraqi civilians have died because of the war and the occupation.
gecko you obviously do not know much about the second world war...
20 million russians died, as has been stated earlier, germany invaded Soviet union once and to say that they were stopped by the winter is to make things very very simple.
Saying that the russians were simply a great asset is probably the underevaluation of the century. it can be fairly claimed that the central conflict in the war in europe was between soviet and germany. one of the largest goals for the nazis was to crush russia. for example, hitler himself saw the russians as the only real enemy.
also remember that the americans only really entered the war in europe in 1944. Before that they were mostly involved in fighting the japanese and sending weapons and aid to britain and soviet. by 1944 however germany was more or less beaten.

I just would like to know who writes history books in the States...
2 millions instead of over 20 millions (actually it was about 24), winter stoped nazis - yeah, yeah, from 1941 'till 1944 (when nazis were on the territory of USSR) - it was unstopable summer in Russia, you know! (and by the way - if you have globe just take a look and you'll see that Germany is not in Africa nor South America and they know what is winter, Moscow places souther than many Germany towns!)

Altogether it was 28 million i think.
Which is just such a huge number that it's just so hard to imagine ALL those people dead.

About Russia and USA and II World ar... Hadn't Hitler attacked Russia- the war would have last much longer, even with US of A army. That's the fact. Russian offensive was a turning point in the IIWW history. It's as simple.
well, i just took the numbers that andy lamb gave me from 1 of his previous post, but i see now that even he learned from you, and changed his post from 2 million to millions.....but mistakes are mistakes, and everyone makes them
i guess the edit button can help you save face, but i will change that to 20 million in this post due to the fact that i was givin mistaken info, and that is better than hiding behind the edit button.
2 million, 20 million, 200 million.....1 is to many
you know what,it was also said that 100,000 civialians have died since this, i dont know the numbers, but can you maybe bring out the numbers of people who died due to saddams terror??, im sure those numbers will come out when he is tried by the iraqi people.
God bless the russian people
