292,131....Anyone recognize this number?

[jimchere]

Part of this written by a friend, with my editing.<br />That's two hundred ninety two thousand one hundred and thirty one.<br />It's the number of young American men and women who DIED defending Europe in WWII, including Spain (neutral in WWII) and France and all the other nations who look on us with varied levels of disdain and disrespect. That's right, the number who DIED, nearly 300 THOUSAND. It does NOT include the wounded who lost limbs, eyesight, etc etc., who we Americans supported and their families when they returned home...<br />What would the world look like now if our threshold for the support and defense of our allies were limited to 200?

Good point Jim.<br /><br />But them librals don't care about what happened 60 years ago, and all they care is that any American killed for a good cause, is not good, only because George W is in the White House.<br /><br />If it were Clinton, there would be 100% support from them!<br /><br />And what would the world look like...<br /><br />Well, Europe would be totally German speaking people only, with all of them having blue eyes and blonde hair, along with most of the Middle East and Northern Africa, and the western area of the former USSR!<br /><br />All of Asia would be speaking Japanese, South America would be speaking German, and the USA would be the last bastilion of the English speaking world, as all of Canada would propably be speaking French, just to be different!

Amazing how quick people forget. Sad really. <br /><br />At least the Brits understand!
