There will always be an 82d Airborne Division because it lives in the hearts of men and somewhere young men will dare the challenge to "stand up and hook up" and know that moment of pride and strength which is its reward

View Quote Gee, wonder why they don't keep their religion themed posts in the religious forum? I could care less what someone believes or doesn't believe, it's not MY business. But some people are hellbent on shoving their beliefs into others' face at every single opportunity. Virtually all of the conflicts in the Middle East since WW2 has been nothing but religious wars. How bout that Northern Island history too? |

You may have noticed that Red China never completely defeated Nationalist China, hence the Taiwan situation today; so I guess you could be myopic and say that the Great Leap Forward is distinct from the Chinese Civil War. |
