No US fighting during WWII

[Redneck]

Pfff

I could sell it for a lot of money...

I think a Panzer Maus would be cool too!

Plus, the US uniforms were nowhere near as nice as any of the European ones.

Italia!

I'd have to agree with you there. All I can do is my part to see that it doesn't happen in my lifetime.

True... And I should very much hope it does not happen in our lifetime. *shivers*
The repercussions of an empire's fall are huge and lasting. Always have been. So I fear the US' fall. Even if some aspects of their politics will not be missed (by me)

My personal fave:

Are they the local Gendarmie?

It sure looks like pepper spray there.

My goodness. You would think the Italians would have a better fashion clue. I thought maybe the insignia was the Polish eagle - white on red... What is it with the helmet?

It would be hard to find a more colorful Army than the Swiss Guard. The protectors of the Holy See.

If you ask me, that looks like a painter has had an accident.

 

[Redneck]

These uniforms are kind of neat.

 

[Milla]

These uniforms are kind of neat.

They look like Redcoats, but they're orange?

 

[Scholar in training]

These uniforms are kind of neat.

And easy to target.

When it comes to European military fashion, we would be remiss if we didn't mention what really has to be the hallmark of military dress.

I absolutely adore the spats.

 

[Redneck]

And easy to target.

That's why they lost.

 

[Redneck]

This guy conquered Europe single handedly!

 

[Milla]

This guy conquered Europe single handedly!

LOL, because one of them was in his vest?

Yes, but everyone is laughing, and nobody is calling anyone names.

I am! I am! Let's see. I can call you Constance. That's right! Constance. It's a name, isn't it?
See? I'm calling people names. To top it off I'll call Milla... Milla!!!! Yeah.
Erm.
I'll shut up now

Did you know Scottish soldiers were named by the Germans as the 'ladies from hell' because they were the most feared in the war....nothing to do with a 6ft burly scotsman running across uneven country with no underwear on, of course . Lets' just say it wasn't just the kilt flying.

Actually a guy in full hjighland dress it's like the most lovely thing ever. I remember seeing my boyfriend in a full kilt at his cousins wedding. *swoon*
