" Our westerns allies who fought so poorly and surrendered so quickly"

Truman told the truth.

Truman told the truth about what and about whom? I'm afraid that not only do I not get what your point is but the quote seems incomplete. Is he talking about the French ... in which case they weren't our allies then were they. Or maybe he's talking about the Russians in WW1. And finally, what brought that topic up? smile.gif

Thought so.

Actually, I think it's a Simpsons quote. IIRC Truman says this when he presents the "trillion-dollar bill" to the European allies as part of the Marshall Plan.

PS: The "trillion-dollar bill" is later stolen by Monty Burns...that's when the Europeans decide to get snooty to Americans.

Look, I can post whatever I want.

Just take a joke will you.

And Truman really did say that.

You sure can. And if other people feel that what you post is boorish and moronic, then they're likely to post back with that in mind. Truman said it, eh? Then why are you trotting it out now like you just came up with it yourself?

After witnessing exceptional bravery from his Celtic mercenaries, Alexander the Great called them to him and asked if there was anything they feared. They told him nothing, except that the sky might fall on their heads.
