    If this were a food and wine site dealing with excellent cuisine, I'm sure the French and Italians would be ranked tops and treated with great deference, while the Germans, US, and Great Britain (most certainly England) would be the butt of many jokes.

    USA has Bobby Flay and Emeril. They are probably the top two chefs in the world. And German food is excellent, but for England, well no comment. (Ooops I just bashed England, sorry)

    I think it should be noted that in WWII front line troops didn't "get on the horn" and "call in" air support.

    I thought tanks in Normandy were able to call up fighters. The tank crewman were forward air observers. They would tell a fighter where to go, or tell someone who was in communication with the fighter and they would be sent to the General area and told what to hit, according to Steven Ambrose in one of his books.

    I guess I didn't make clear, I was talking about full crews, ones where their vehicle didn't get completley destroyed. I have crews that make it out with all members in one piece. I think those people, who don't get completley meesed up still have the ability to make logical decsions, especailly a veteran crew. Yes one member who made it out of a burning tank shouldn't be able to think and reason too well. But not having been in combat I can't really speak on how man thinks or behaves under moments of heavy stress.

    I was playing a game where a Veteran British Airborne sqaud was 8m away from a bunker, they attacked it, knocked it out. Great. But than the crew runs out of the bunker. The Brits mow them down and no more crew. Now if I was the crew I'd be first, pretty shocked from getting knocked out. Than with a british sqaud 8m away, I wouldn't run. I'd surrender. Same thing if a sqaud knocks out a tank at 10-20m. Why would the crew run from 9 guys with rifles and machine guns? Seems like more crews should surrender when close to full sqauds. Atleast a Veteran or Crack squad should be smart enough to make a logical choice.
