well seeing that the Australian military size of 102,232 (including reservists). in a country of 23,343,464.

But unlike the USA, Australia isn't broke.

Of course, I also think lines should be able to move in double rank without having emotional breakdowns.

And we are grateful for that, just like are grateful to Canada, the UK and Australia for that. Only those nations aren't pretending World war 2 happened yesterday and the world still needs a guardian angel. They have moved on. Maybe the USA should. Ah well, shit will happen soon sure enough. Stack ya rifles and stack ya ammo.

duuring your getting of topic again :P

Yes. Yes indeed.

Discussing about australia and america in ww2? Gay. 

German won the war, we control the EU and opened all borders with Poland and France and low countries.

Well let's pretend that the Germans never had surrendered to the allied forces and that D-Day was won by the Germans. Would the war still be going on? Would the Germans eventually surrender?

The war is over, the Germans surrendered after Hitler was shot, there is no going back. Id consider it an allied victory though, not a Nazi victory because though Germany controls a lot of EU, they wouldn't have stopped where they are if they had the chance to keep going. And they lost a lot of not just military persons but a lot of citizens of Berlin as well.

D-Day made little difference to the outcome of the war, 10% of German forces were deployed in France, the other 90% were desperately trying to hold back the glorious Red Army. It probably cut the war short by a few months, at best a year, but the Soviets were always going to win.

so im thinking of starting a re-enactors teamspeak... that i will pay for, that we can use to discuss these things easier.

im looking at a 20 slot for now, which i might upgrade if more poeple want to join in.

what does everyone think? will everyone use it?
