    I understand the war, the pain, the stress and all. But you don’t handle an ancient object like that… You should feel the importance of the thing for all the human people, as an extraordinary artifact… Average extra ignorant USer, moreover a soldier one… Bleah

      Waaah, waaah, bad US man touched an object 80 years ago and that makes me sad for some reason. Go get some real problems to be upset about.

        I wouldn’t invest too much in arguing against that person. I remember reading their distinct style of insisting on writing “USer” instead of “American” and I assure you, they are too obnoxious and stubborn to be worth the effort.

          Eh. The president of the US can offend tens of nations with “shithole countries” remark, and I cannot refuse to indicate people from US with a word that should/could address an entire continent’s population? I cannot do it, simple as that

          I’d still rather be from the country that kicked Hitler’s bitch ass than the one whose leader’s lips were stapled to his ballsack until the Germans weren’t winning anymore. Where are your countrymen in that photo?

              Russia deserves credit for being willing to throw men into a meat grinder while the United States bankrolled her war effort and kept her from getting her shit kicked in by the Wehrmacht. And if you disagree with me, you disagree with Field Marshal Zhukov and are therefore obviously wrong.

                Lol calm down, Russia do deserve credit they really dealt with a shit show, a lot of them died, the leader ship treated the troops as a meat grinder.

                Maybe make less assumption and have a dialogue.

                  It’s a fine cheese, Kraft distributes it here but I don’t see what that has to do with anything.

              I would. It’s not like the guy threw it on the ground and stomped on it. And when you’re fighting the nazis, honestly I don’t give a fuck if you make fun of some inbred douchebags fancy hat. At all.
