I have always found the story of the WWI Christmas truce to be fascinating. There is more information out there but this is a brief description.

    Good thing you never saw the pictures of Colonel Simon West sitting next to Queen Elizabeth... Propriety precludes my elaboration...

    I find it interesting that Rand and Coolidge found such different paths to the same conclusion...

    I despise Tom Selleck after his he played Eisenhower. It wasn’t so much his role but that he accepted a role in a script that had General Patton being played as a bumbling fool, a wimpy brown-noser who tripped over his own feet. Broke my heart. Love Patton.

    It saddens me to read how vilified our soldiers are by everyone around the world when our soldiers are often the most compassionate and caring of any in the world, especially to children. IMO, no other nation has (unofficially) given so much to those with whom they are at war. The track record of other nations is not quite so spotless.
