Can the next list be 'Who took the longest to die.' or some such.
Sometimes I just couldn't be bothered to sign in for these.
Yeah, the Iraqi invaders sure proved themselves to be total terrorists when they fought the brave US soldiers that were defending their homeland.
Those darn Germans. Ancient history.

Probably the first time I actually agree with you. They were defiantly strict times for everyone not in control of the situation. My grandfather on my mother's side fought for the side of Hungary, because if he didn't, he was shot and killed as a traitor.

Oh crap- We're humans and that's what we do.
Up to 2000 kills in a few hours during the landing in the Normandy.
Hitler didn't kill 6 million people. Any idiot can order the death of someone.
