Pretty much. In WWII and Korea, he earned the nickname "Old Magnet A$$" for his ability to draw flak.
No matter what you think, though, he strapped on that flying bomb and rode it into history.
Good grief! Ordinarily this would be a
Walking Dead Thread.
But given it's a Blackleaf "Narcissism is my middle name" OP, it's really more....
Evil Dead Thread. 8O
May God have mercy on us all.

Oh, yeah! Gagarin was the dog's balls!
You think our gear was crap? To be a cosmonaut you had to be ultra-brave AND clinically insane.
Drunker'n a fiddler's bitch helped too.
If the United States - which wouldn't exist were it not for the British Empire - disappeared tomorrow then Britain would be No1. Even though China, Japan and (for now) Germany have larger economies than Britain, none of them have stronger and better militaries than Britain and none of them are as influential culturally and economically as Britain.
Commonly called busy-bodies at best as you demand respect from all others but give out none. If your mouth isn't enough influence then that is what the largest standing military in the history of the world is used for. Since it is always the tool used why even bother with the charade that come when your gums start flapping?
Hey Bucko- The U.S. was there long before the Blighters even knew it existed, so you can get off your high horse!
A lot of them are and I mean a lot, which makes me wonder what's gerryh's excuse *scratches head*
Oh yeah? For over one hundred years after Columbus the Brits barely set foot on the continent and even then had a meager presence.
Nope, you have the common folks like labourers, miners and fish mongers who are quite down to earth and then you have the gentry who can be a bunch of a$$holes.
"Keeping up Appearances" depicts them well, on the one hand you have Onslow (the salt of the earth) and his wife and then there's the other A$$holes!

No, it wasn't. Don't be such a silly billy.
It wasn't the Genoese who America got its independence from. It wasn't the Genoese who gave America the English language and English common law. It wasn't the Genoese who gave America its railways. It wasn't Genoa's Magna Carta, but England's, which forms the cornerstone of the American Constitution. It wasn't the Genoese Empire, but the British one, which founded the United States. America was created by the British. The British even invented the United States Navy.
No British Empire = No United States (and Canada, too, for that matter).
Ever since the last ice age and probably inhabited for most of that time. There was actually quite a civilization. You Blighters have been on that f**king rock too long, get off it and get educated!
That's correct, you got your asses handed on a platter and a couple of hundred years later, you still can't get over it.
The British Empire never gave anything to anyone other than misery and contempt.
The railways in the US didn't start until the early 19th. century you dolt.
How little you know of the U.S. Constitution.
It was the British Navy back then, it didn't become the US Navy till 1775.
At the very least, we all know what an *** you really are.
