    gr8,

    Your story supports the Dayton study. Though your parents were not educated, they were obviously motivated, overachievers. If they were not, they would not have come to the United States to make a better life for themselves and their children.

    Heck, I'll do more than think about it. I'll have it made into a plaque and ship it to you for Christmas as a reminder of how pointless your arguments usually are.

    German Divisions were smaller then French divisions.

    The French had more men in their army, and more tanks as well.

    Ok. I don't have the quote. The book is at home. I'll give you the quote when I get back home for Fall Break, which is the 11th. Ok?

    They would have to be twice as big, and therefore no longer a division. Division strengths don't vary anywhere near that much, they are all pretty much based on the Prussian model. Come on, man, it's sucks to be wrong, but the numbers don't lie.

    P.S. Your sig is from my favorite movie.

    Sure. If you're in Austin, look for a ruggedly-handsome Asian guy who some say "has a bad attitude and has let himself go and is ten pounds overweight."

    Are you a racist, MacB?

    You continue this because I don't answer your questions in a way that makes sense to you? Why did you change your name? What are YOU hiding? The only thing thats weakly rational or hypocritical is your thought process. You change your name but call me a hypocrite, ain't that a b****. You argue for the sake of arguing, each time adding little to your weak points and trying to convolute mine. I don't have time for some piss ant to lecture me on racial relations, I live it everyday and frankly, I'm not doing bad. Now dissect that, and change you name again, you'll probably need to.

    BTW why haven't the Asians that have contributed been so harsh to me, so calm down extremist.

    1) If you're asking, you haven't been paying attention...or is anyone who calls you out on your racist views automatically a racist? I have pointed out your racist statements...point out mine.

    2) In a way that makes sense, period. Get out a dictionary, look up racism, and show me where it says it has to be a negative attitude towards a minority. It is defining by race, period, something you have done in this thread. And when I point that out you come back with a weak explanation of people having the right to express what is indigenous to their culture. You have yet to answer even one of my questions directly, I have answered every one of yours.

    3) Are you talking about my having been JAG before? I changed my name because I had to replace my ethernet card and couldn't remember my password...and this has as much relevance to the discussion at hand as any of your other points. ( !?!???!?!)

    4) We all live race relations every day. Man, use your last life-line and call a friend, cause you haven't got a clue.

    Have I mentioned this yet...my wife is Asian and thinks that anyone who makes a genetic-based Asian superiority argument is an idiot. She is mean like that. You should hear what she says about me.

    DoD,

    I just wanted to thank you for participating in this thread. I could bombard you with compliments, but that would seem over the top and unecessary. So just accept my thanks for this and others.


    MacBeth,

    I don't know if I would rely too heavily on numbers like that...the exact numbers cannot really be known for certain (for various reasons) and I have seen slightly variant numbers as well. I actually thought the Allied tank numbers were about 1000 greater than Germany's alone. Hmm...not sure. In any event, it is all really beside the point as Germany was concentrated and the Allies were spread out over Europe and N. Africa. Germany benefitted from not having an empire.

    The numbers I have are reliable, and are correlated by Wilmott's Struggle For Europe, and Churchill's memoires footnotes. The numbers did get a little confusing after Sea Lion up to when Speer took over on the German side, but except for during that period they were pretty defined. And about the concentration, I agree, as stated in the numbers post, but there is the additional factor which I didn't mention of quality over quantity, and there the Germans were almost universally better than the Allies, with the possible exception of the Hurricane ( Spitfires weren't mass produced yet) on land and in the air. Allied tank armament was a positive, but more than made up for by the panzer's speed and firepower, and their rate of replacable parts was the best until the Russians got going. All in all, I'm pretty confident about facing Nomar's quote...
