OT - How many times must a connon ball fly?

More young lives wasted by the guy who hid out at an Alabama dentist's
when it was his turn to fight. Dan Rather was right.

Why didn't you take a turn? Did you ever fly jet fighters?
Or did you wear pink underwear to your induction physical so you would
get rejected?

Do not accept the notion of a left wing bias in the media. As long as
these fascists can propogate this argument, we (the country) will
continue to move right. The media is so biased to the right it is
pathetic. They give deference to the office of the presidency, not the
asshole that occupies it. We must use the same tactics the fascists do
if we are to beat them back.
There is nothing wrong with being a liberal, as George Washington will
attest to the value of. Witness the neanderthal right wingnuts that
frequent this group. This is one conservative that will never vote
Republofascist again. They are not to be trusted with your tax dollars
or your civil liberties. Conservatism is dead. Long live fascism and
the Bush Crime Family.

ME THINKS HARRY HAS HEMORRHOIDS. And every time he screws around in
his chair they get pinched, making him yell out the same words time
and time again, never seems to change and never makes sense.
Isn't there something we can do for him? ;-)

Following concentrated artillery fire on the entire width and depth of
the battlefield, the U.S. infantry battalions launch their attack on 6
October 1944 at 1130 hours. The attacking infantry suffers severe
casualties from tree bursts, while the Germans are protected in their
field positions. On 7 October 1944, one battalion of the 60th Infantry
Regiment loses about 100 men through tree bursts, even though it is
not employed on the front line. The fighting in the forest yields very
few targets that can be allocated to U.S. artillery and Air Force. As
both U.S. infantry regiments have available one avenue of attack only
which is interrupted by enemy mines and abatis, neither tanks nor
self-propelled guns can support the attacking infantry. Elements of
the 39th Infantry Regiment succeed in penetrating into the German
positions west of Germeter and eliminating several pillboxes.
The heavy fighting lasts through 16 October 1944 when the units on
both sides are so depleted that combat action dies down. The results
of this fighting are as follows: the U.S. territorial gains amount to
about 1.7 miles, with the terminus being Germeter; Schmidt remains in
German hands; the U.S. casualties total 4,500, the German casualties
3,200 men.
****************************
This is 10 days of fighting, in a battle that most historians agree
served no purpose. Lots more died before the fighting was over.
Good thing Harry was still in diapers then. He would have raised hell
with FDR for sending our boys to save those worthless French at such a
cost.
