Denmark’s Obsequious Treatment of Returning ISIS Fighters

[captain morgan]

You don't have to sink them all.

Yes you do

It was the armada which kicked Argie off British territory.

False. The Argentinians allowed you to rest up and repair your fleet of garbage scows

Come off it. People are scrabbling to become British colonies once more. Just look at Jamaica.

The middle and upper income earners are rushing to leave.

The Royal navy is the best in the world.

Maybe the best at having your flagships sunk with considerable ease.

Our British real men were up to their necks in mud and bullets fighting Jerry

What did Jerry ever do to you?

whilst your lot were shagging around.

Someone had to do it.... No different than someone (read US & Canadian soldiers) having to prevent the invasion of your wee Isle

Loss of HMS Hood


Ya's are both wrong.

No, you don't. We won.

False. The Argentinians allowed you to rest up and repair your fleet of garbage scows

And why would they do that?

The middle and upper income earners are rushing to leave.

Like who?

Maybe the best at having your flagships sunk with considerable ease.

The Hood was not the Royal Navy's flagship.

What did Jerry ever do to you?

Do you really need me to teach you of the circumstances leading up to World War II?

Someone had to do it....

Our (real) men, as befitting a warrior race like the British, were up to their necks fighting Jerry whilst your lot were shagging around and getting angry at British landladies because they allowed your black soldiers to drink in their pubs, as wouldn't have occurred in your country.

You don't have to sink them all. The Argies, for example, only sank seven of the 127-ship British taskforce.

.

The mere fact that they even got close to the fleet shows how bad the RN is.


Seven modern ships sunk


Sad.

The Bismark fired 3 warning shots across the Hood's bow.... The British navy always retreats at this display.

It's not like the US Navy has ever had ships sunk in war, is it? That's never happened before....

 

[EagleSmack]

The Hood was not the Royal Navy's flagship.



.

When Bismarck sailed for the Atlantic in May 1941, Hood, together with the newly commissioned battleship Prince of Wales, was sent out in pursuit along with several other groups of British capital ships to intercept the German ships before they could break into the Atlantic and attack Allied convoys. Hood was commanded by Captain Ralph Kerr and was flying the flag of Vice-Admiral Lancelot Holland.


Translation... FLAGSHIP

No, it didn't. The Royal Navy ships fired first.

The Hood was not the flagship of the Royal Navy. It didn't even have a flagship between 1919 and 1993.

You wanted the US to stay out of the European war because you're an anti-Semitic racist who's still angry that the Nazis didn't win the war so they could shovel more Jewish corpses into the furnaces.

You reassure me, Blackleaf, truly you do. Being despised by such an asswit as you is the surest sign I'm doing something right.

Read the account. The Bismarck didn't even hit, it was her escort that hit with her second salvo, and a salvo is comprised of more than one shell fired.

It's fine to tear into Blackie for his stupidity, but how about getting the facts straight as to what happened. The fact that the Hood was sunk by a piddly a$$ German Cruiser, makes things so much worse for what was considered the Royal Navy's symbolic Flagship.

You wish the US had stayed out of the European war because you're a bigoted Jew-hater who still can't get over the fact that the Nazis lost. It pains you to think that Nazi Germany was defeated and that it's programme of mass-murder of the Jews was put to an end. It bothers you and your fellow anti-Semites deeply and I don't think you'll ever truly get over it.

"Diese Jungs Saugen!"

The last photo of the Hood shot from the Prince of Wales.




Later that year the Japanese would use the Prince of Wales as target practice sending her to the bottom. The Brits were not seen again in the Pacific until the US had all but finished the Japanese.

You didn't read the account properly (again, I'm not the stupid one here. You lot are). The Bismarck DID hit the Hood.

Two ships ganged up on the Hood: the Bismarck and the Prinz Eugen, eventually causing the Hood to sink after several hits after her aft magazine exploded.

The British opened fire at 05:52 on 24th May 1941 with Hood engaging Prinz Eugen, the lead ship in the German formation, and the Germans returned fire at 05:55, both ships concentrating on Hood. Prinz Eugen was probably the first ship to score when a shell hit Hood '​s boat deck, between her funnels, and started a large fire among the ready-use ammunition for the anti-aircraft guns and rockets of the UP mounts. Just before 06:00, while Hood was turning 20° to port to unmask her rear turrets, she was hit again on the boat deck by one or more shells from Bismarck '​s fifth salvo, fired from a range of approximately 18,210 yds. A shell from this salvo appears to have hit the spotting top, as the boat deck was showered with body parts and debris. A huge jet of flame burst out of Hood from the vicinity of the mainmast, followed by a devastating magazine explosion that destroyed the aft part of the ship. This explosion broke the back of Hood and the last sight of the ship, which sank in only three minutes, was her bow, nearly vertical in the water.

Also, the Hood was NOT a battleship. She was a battlecruser, and carried a lot less armour than a battleship.

We were too busy in Europe against the Germans.

 

[petros]

We won the war that Germany started.

1939: Britain and France declare war on Germany. Britain and France are at war with Germany following the invasion of Poland two days ago. At 1115 BST the Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain, announced the British deadline for the withdrawal of German troops from Poland had expired.

How could you get a neg rep for that!?

Yeah... we fought them both.

Germany started the war. Only an idiot would suggest otherwise. The declaration of war only made it official
