Boerseun Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 On May 8, 1945, Nazi Germany formally signed the peace treaty promising unconditional surrender to the Allied Forces in Europe. Americans everywhere rejoiced, safe in the knowledge that their perfect score in warfare was secure. However, what Americans do not know is that one man was the secret weapon who single-handedly brought an end to the entire conflict. Movies based on true events from the war clearly show that John Wayne fought in every branch of the military and in every theater of war, sometimes simultaneously. Not even being killed could stop him, as he just joined a different service each time. After the war, Wayne retired to Ireland. To see the historical proof yourself, do your own research by visiting Blockbuster Video. - The Maryland Cow Nipple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercedes Benzene Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 Hmmmm.... what exactly are you trying to get from this thread? :hihi: Let me say that I enjoy The Maryland Cow Nipple immensly.

TheBigDog Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 War of 1812?Typical Canadian reponse. :lol: Burning down the White House does not mean the war was won. And if the US lost the war of 1812, then how do you explain the subsequent years? :hihi: Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ananke Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 The stated aims of the USA in the war of 1812 was the annexation of Canada. The Canadian aims were simply to survive. On that basis, the USA clearly lost the war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boerseun Posted September 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 1812 was the year before John Wayne gave up Canadian citizenship in favour of US citizenship. He served in the Canadian army in 1812, as could be seen from the outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arkain101 Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 I dont mean to sound however, but is a war ever won? A war is battles and battles are won, but since the battles never seem to end can war ever end? For that is when it is won...

A war is battles and battles are won, but since the battles never seem to end can war ever end? For that is when it is won...Sadly, I agreeMuch of the trouble in the Middle East is a result of "deals" done after WW2 So too the cold war; as the CIA appropriated the paranoid Nazi (Russian) intelligence officers. Hence the USA became paranoiacs about USSR too. As for Afghanistan . . .well. . .it is too sad to start. The Iraq war is showing us that force never succeeds. We only create more terrorists.

Ananke Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Wars are fought and won or lost, but conflict is an eternal presence. It part of our nature to struggle against one another, its what made us what we are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ananke Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Why would you want to lose our essential humanity? The desire to struggle and dominate is inherent within us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfiniteNow Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Why would you want to lose our essential humanity? The desire to struggle and dominate is inherent within us.Our views on what is "essential humanity" are unique to each of us. However, I would gladly lose what I consider my "essential humanity" to become part of my "essential connection with the infinity of the universe." Just waxing philosophical there... Now, back on topic. What was all that talk about John Wayne? He was a heck of an actor, eh? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ananke Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Never cared for John Wayne, actually. He was a mediocre actor who always played the same character, a bluff, easy-talking guy who speaks softly and carries a big gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George W should press-gang 99% of Hollywood into the army, and voila! - Iraq would be sorted out! Station the Baldwin brothers in Tel Aviv and Boom! - Peace in the Middle East!

The prize was a trip to Hollywood and a meeting with John wane. They thought the questions were easy so. . .It was a rainy afternoon so they cut up all their Film mags and made a collage of the answers.THEY WON!So when visiting JW they gave him a Ozzie Diggers Hat in exchange for his hatLater they sold this hat for a small fortune.
