USA in World war one

Medenaywe, are you saying that Hollywood war films are the reason the Americans beleive they won WWII singlehanded?

Dunno about that...most young gen 4xers Amerikans don't know a damn thing about WW2; let alone WW1. Cosequently it's extremely doubtful they believe it was won 'single handed' by the USA.

Why does it annoy you?  And i dont dislike the USA, just some of its history, IS concentrating on a specific event in history cherry picking then? if so we all do it.

Originally posted by Mountain Man   So far you have slandered my nation repeatedly with your innuendos and allegations, and offered zero proof despite numerous requests that you provide,

It is only slander if is not true.
As for proof I did quote my numerous sources, did you check them out?
Tell you what, i have 4 lectures in PDF format, can i email them to you?

Originally posted by Mountain Man   You didn't even know that the names I gave you - Belleau Wood, et al, were American actions during WWI;

Sorry you are correct, i didn't even bother to check as I was so sure you were on a justification by criticism rant, my mistake, i apologise.

Giving up? Without disproving my original comments. shame.

PLEASE don't keep getting so upset, its a history forum, as such do YOU consider I should NOT discuss American history?

Why does it annoy you?He's a big guy.... he can answer for himself. But it's annoying because it's obvious and amateurish and you have a known track record on other venues for this stuff. And in many cases, as far as I'm concerned, has proven to be inaccurate or deceptive. Argumentative and repetitive for no reasonably significant purpose and quasi-inflammatory. That's my member response.It's getting close to a Coc violation as a hidden form of trolling and anti-nationalism. So my recommendation is: you improve on your semantic representation of your bias. Or suffer the consequences.

Officially the name Belleau Wood, no longer exists. The French officially changed the name to-

To my knowledge there were 2 rifles issued, an American manufactured version of the Enfield and the Springfield 1903.

CV, the first 2 links are dead.

Red Clay, be careful in presuming that most of the AEF was armed with the M 1903 Springfield. I've recently seen an article that claims the rifle of three quarters of the AEF was the M 1917 Enfield, and that this was the rifle that Alvin York used. As I recall the old Gary Cooper movie, it was a M 1903 Springfield, but I didn't take into consideration that in the 1930s, when many such movies were made, the M-1903 Springfield was the standard rifle of the U.S. Army.

Also, I'm not so sure how quiet we were. We were in and out of Nicaragua between 1909 and 1933. I believe we hung their president in 1912, We landed troops in Verzcruz, Mexico, where Dugout Dougie tried to get himself a Medal of Honor in 1914. Smedly D. Butler received a Medal of Honor for his actions in Haiti in 1915, which we occupied that year. In 1916 we moved into the Dominican Republic, and closer to home, if farther from Washington, we sent Pershing into Mexico to punish Pancho Villa for an attack on Columbus, New Mexico by elements of his armies. Not to mention that the Cavalry had been operating along the border to secure it from such raids for some time prior to that, and remained on the border until WWII.
