And I live in America..... LARGE country to your west that pulled your
ass out of the fires of defeat twice in the last 100 years AND TOOK
posession of our OWN fate with a ragtag army of non-professional
soldiers that kicked the ass of the strongest and most professional
miliraty force in the world at the time!

And as such I did not realize there were two versions of the game as I
have several friends from european countries ingame.

By the way..... I spent a wonderful month in your country in 2002 in
Essex.... absolutly wonderful time and I hope to return again
sometime.

I know there are places outside the United States. I have defended
several of them in my lifetime..... Even bled on the soil of a couple
of them.

I never really needed a passport for the first 25 years of my adult
life...... I had my uniform and my ID Card. As for the past 15 years I
have had my passport stamped more times than you can probably count!

And I was not offended. Just confused. See, I can be humble (umble as
you Brits say it.... ) and I can admit when I am either uninformed or
mistaken.
