(14,090 posts)recorded a tv show about WWI, and it used real footage to tell of what happened...and I watched poor Belgium fighting the Germans with everything they had. When they could not go on any longer, they crashed two of their locomotives into each other on the main bridge, thus rendering it useless to the incoming Germans.
Aw, man, it was so sad - and then they just got run over again at the start of WWII, and there they were again, Belgium people just trying to live their lives, BOOM, destroyed.
So I love you for having the strength to both endure and come back from that!! (Even though you most likely weren't personally present for such horrible events of cataclysmic destruction!?)
And thank you for saying that you know "the weird thing nowadays called president " does not represent our great country! Now some might say, it's our own fault this happened, and so forth, but you and I know that - well, this is a fine, fine, country...and HEY SYRINGIS, so is yours!
Welcome, and it's so great to meet you!
