The only thing demeaning to the men who fell at Dunkirk and all other battles of the 2nd WW, is the state of the armed forces in the United States (and maybe other EU countries), which was then known as a "sleeping giant," and has now been reduced to a Pres. Clinton "meals on wheels" social program manned (or womaned as Clinton now has it) buy people who just don't stack up the levels of valor displayed by those Brits/Americans and Germans of times gone.

The Best General Officers this country had, (post MacAurthor and Patton) left in droves during the early 90's and the rest were removed by a "politically correct" Department of Defense staff appointed by Commie Bill himself!

Sorry guys if I went a bit off subject, had to vent!

Hail To The Chief, and Long Live the Queen!
