The funny part is if you met me, I'm sure we could have a completely normal conversation and get along just fine. I don't roam the streets waving an American flag, nor am I an overly patriotic American. I love many parts of the world, in fact, have traveled there, and tend to possess a wordly view when it comes to people... until they think they are overtly superior to others. America is no better than Europe and, in my opinion, it is worse off than many countries I admire across the pond. I respect this country and it's history, just as I feel anyone who chooses to live here should.
I singled you out because I want you to think twice about blasting comments about how much you loathe American planes and are so exorbitant about your German heritage. Be proud, but does it require advertisement? Shit, I'm German... and French... and Polish... and Cherokee. Do I run around saying how proud I am of these things? No! I could care less. I find no reason to identify with these places because I was born here and I live here. I'm a mutt... and little else matters.
Keep calling me an ass if it makes you feel better. Read your past remarks on this forum man... you sound like you're completely in love with Germany and can't see past it. It reminds me of the people of my neighborhood who are so proud of their heritage that they run around waving flags... with an air of superiority to the country in which they live. Seriously, if those places are so much better why not go there? That is all I ask. I don't want them waving American flags, but you have to admit that it is all a bit ironic.
I also called you out for the fact that you've been unable, up until this point, to say one positive thing about an American plane. I don't want you to worship the P-51, but don't make stupid remarks. It wasn't a POS.
I'm not pompous, nor arrogant (redundancy anoyone?)
, but I am very aware that someone has a very one-sided opinion.
Listen, celebrate the Luftwaffe and their planes all you want... I will likely agree with you. I simply ask that you stop bashing other planes that easily held their own against your favorites.
If you want we can have a web hug, or I'll go buy the 360 version of the game and we'll have it out like true nerds.
