    Haha, now you're back to normal :D

    Young age is no argument against, everybody older has been that age before, unless one has been spectator actor to some strange physics, and as for getting to a middle fart like me, well, it's only a matter of time ;)

    No, if you'd read Sun Tzu you'd know you should build a golden bridge for your adversary to retreat ;)

    Now back to topic:

    I'm not posting this for attention's sake and I won't argue-eveyone has their own opinions.

    When I was very young, I very much preferred the company of my grandfather and his friends. I've also been wracked with dreams all my life of flying, flying over blue water, and one really wild dream of flying what must have been a dive bomber, peeling off after a strike-pulling away from a brown colored building with a spanish tile roof. I did research and I've finally surrendered to the notion that I had lived in WW2 (although not born until the 1960's). I've also had a powerful deja vous experience at what had been a WW2 airfield in Bryan Texas.

    This is the reason I sought out this board. Earlier this year, I had an older computer that didn't work well on this board. My new computer works well here.

    Anyway, I'm wondering if there are any more here have had a reincarnation experience?

    I had one actually:

    When I was 8 and didnt Know what WW2/WW1 even was I can recall remembering an image of Standing about 30 Feet behind a Trench and 2 Rusty looking Canons being pushed by men up to the Trench. There seemed to be alot going on but I could not hear.

    This was a totally real flash in my mind, and having known nothing of WW2/WW1 I believe that I had been Killed In the War Because I had Became Deaf and couldnt hear an Artillery Shell that hit Me.

    Now that I think of it the setting reminded me of something from a civil war Movie.

    To all members of the forum site.

    As you may be aware of that i was suspended for a time i was "put in the cooler" for comments i made in this thread, well i have had time to ponder exactly what i said and certain replies.

    I wish to fully and unconditionally retract my comment which used the term sanitised, although i tried to disguise my comment as something else, Slipdigit was correct he had pegged that my comment did infact advocate genocide.

    I have been very stupid and wrong to advocate genocide, it is abhorant and i am deeply ashamed at those stupid comments.

    So i openly and unconditionally appologise to all members of ww2f.

    Yours sincerely

    von Rundstedt

    As pennance, I suggest you read a dozen personal autobiographys of individuals from WW 2, preferably those not in combat or if so, ones that were enlisted at the pointy end of things.....TWICE.

    It will greatly change your prespective of everything.

    Actually i don't need to be so reminded, i lost family members in ww2 fighing against the Germans and Japanese.

    I had an uncle that served in Bomber Command and was reduced to mince meat in his turret, i had another in Fighter Command that was lost over Belgium in his Spitfire and never found, i had an uncle that was killed in Sydney Harbour by the Japanese midget sub attack, my father was wounded in a strafing run by Japanese in North Queensland and his brother was wounded in the Japanese attack on Darwin.

    So yes i have a very good perspective on the war tragedies that have been in my Family.

    But none the less i still like to have served in the Waffen SS, i could justify this by my feelings of that i did in a past life serve in the Waffen SS, i really can't explain the whole reasons behind this.

    But yes the LSSAH for me.

    I would say I'd wind up in the Pacific on a submarine. Be amongst that 1.8% of the USN.

    I would have joined the US 3rd Infantry Division during the attack on Italy. First we would have landed on Sicily and rapidly capture Palermo and Messina. After that we would capture Salerno and ofcourse Cassino. After that ofcourse the landing on the beaches of Anzio. And after all that action, the attack on the capital, Rome. :)

    And as second choice, being a German or Russian sharpshooter during the Battle of Berlin. :D

    I just finished reading Webster's Burma Road so Burma is the last place I would have wanted to have been. Nasty place!
