Okay, Porter.... You can be right if it means soooo much to you. :roll:
It doesn't mean much to me at all.... I just am.
WTF do you think ESCORT DUTY and ICELAND means?
Funny, I thought I already explained this to you:
Escort Duty means to take a valued target from Point A to Point B generally in a designated path and defend with force if attacked....... it is not to deliberately seek out, attack and destroy the enemy such as sub hunting.
BTW.... Tell Wikipedia to place ALL brackets within the quote - that way you don't have to say it wasn't properly done.
Small potatoes, like I said, I got to the link.... the clicky thing just didn't work.
You have no clue. In 1940, putting yourself between the "wolf pack" and the merchant ships WAS sub hunting........
No it's not..... putting yourself between a valuable target and someone with a weapon to kill that target, thus taking the bullet and dying is called being a human sheild..... in order to "Hunt" something, you kind of need to have a weapon to take out/kill what you're hunting. Since this US ship wasn't even armed, they were just a human sheild, that's it.
Submarines, unlike in the movies, usually attacked while on the surface, so placing yourself between them and the convoy is the exact tactic you use to engage them.
It's still not hunting.
There go those goal posts again......your original accusation was that the USA was aiding the German war effort early in the war........
Which they were by still allowing trade and commerce between the US private sector & Germany and support from those in the political spectrum/office.... while all other allied nations didn't.
You still never disproved this and my "Goal Posts" still never changed spots..... fix your glasses.
now you are trying to argue the effectiveness of American efforts AGAINST German military operations.
No, I was arguing towards your claims of the US actually "Sub Hunting" German U-Boats prior to officially joining into the war..... that too has not change.
You've already lost the argument.
Give it up.
I haven't lost anything and my original points still stand.
'' US government is much more detrimental to world peace than even radical islam''
did you know that Bush was inspired by God (the prince of peace) to attack Iraq?
Indeed, he called it a Crusade against Evil Doers......
Crusade:
1. often
Crusade Any of the military expeditions undertaken by European Christians in the 11th, 12th, and 13th centuries to recover the Holy Land from the Muslims.
2. A holy war undertaken with papal sanction.
Did he really forget he wrote this?
Compared to what everybody else was doing, yeah, nothing..... except what was already aknowledged, which was supplying and manufacturing for both sides..... which means yes, the US supplied and manufactured for the allies....... while also trading, dealing, supplying and commercing with Nazi Germany, which pretty well cancels everything out, thus.... nothing.
Now then. Refer back to the webpage provided and explain to me what exactly you were doing about it that we weren't.
Canada joined into the war seven days after Britain and France and Canada was active in every theatre of war during WWII, so you tell me what we were doing that you guys weren't.
Here, this should explain things in a more simple fashion for you:
