>what are /k/s thoughts

fuck off

This actually looks like a good kid's movie. There's been so much garbage that's been pumped out by Hollywood lately that a movie like this is much needed for children.

I support this. Sgt Stubby is an American hero, and the goodest of good boys. Survived 2 hand grenades, gassing, 4 campaigns, and 17 battles all while only being inbetween 1-2 years old. This past Friday was the 92nd anniversary of his death.

It's a shame, especially since the concept is so sound. As for your other point, I bet you don't even understand 88D Dreidel! Hell, I bet you voted for the 日本共産党! That's neither here nor there though.

>still being historical revisionists and trying to make out that pretty much all US troops were issued with Springfields, despite the fact that you barely used any of them in the war

No wonder you refused to adopt the FAL

Please do. How hard it is getting to the publisher/ original's mangakas if need be, and asking them real nicely, with some politely-worded fanletters to please bring back the manga?

Letteranon, are you still with us.

And this actually looks pretty cute. I saw the trailer for it yesterday, you never really see WWI in animation. I'd go see it but I feel autistic seeing an animated film if I'm not a parent, even if it's for the World War One part.

I'll agree with you that the FAL is a much better system than the M14, but maybe you'd understand pride in your nations weapons if they didn't fail in nearly every condition.

>Sgt. Stubby was living proof that not all Americans are worthless.

How he fought in the first ZOG war the USA did for their jewish Masters.

Until WW1 Europe had to struggle wish jewish Bullshit, but could always oppress them if shit got out of hand.

After WW1 they had the thread of the US Golem constantly looming over them until this day.

When the P14 was adapted for U.S. service, all three manufacturers were standardized on a common pattern. The result being that unlike the P14, every part of a M1917 is interchangeable among manufacturers, except for the firing pin which is hand fitted to each rifle.

First, they came for the foreigner's rights, but I did not care.

>>563629

>implying America entering the war doomed Germany to defeat in the first place

It was, without them it would have ended in a draw, even if they defeat the Western Army the French and English would not have the power left to march through Germany and face the returning Eastern Army to depose the Kaiser in Königsberg.

The resulting treaty would be a piece of beauty, as it would mean a return to the pre war status quo of the Western Empires and as soon as the damage of the war was repaired a technological race would have started, because as the great war has shown unless one side holds a true technological advantage over its enemies war is just too costly.

>Don't you europoors love to make fun of us by saying we didn't do anything in WW1 at all?

You mistake the German side with your own past Allies that are now saying this.

>Its an incredibly bone-headed move with no thinking at all of the potential consequences on the international stage.

This is funny coming from a citizen of the USA, considering how many times your country got fooled into war by your own upper class slaughtering their own people.

Also you can't take the high ground here, because entering WW1 over the Lusitania and sending thousands of men to die at the Western front is an equally stupid move.

I'm seeing this right now, I'm the only guy in the theater. I'll tell you all how it is.

>>563629

>implying that German wasn't basically the US's second language at the time

Woodrow Wilson was a puppet for the British and desperately wanted to be an Englishman. After America entered the war Anglicization took place in which German culture in America was dismantled and they did a bunch of retarded shitflinging like burning German books and renaming German Shepherds to Liberty Hounds.

>>577498

>actually going to see this

Do you have no shame.

Saw it. Pretty cute. Only real problems were the pacing was kind of weird, they did have to tone it down for kids obviously, and the voice acting from some side characters could have been better. Animation was pretty nice. I liked it, it felt like it had a real heart to it, definitely better than the soulless crap 99% of media is. Definitely not perfect, but good for kids, although it sometimes came off as very educational, which I guess was the point, and something I liked.

>>577522

Also, Patton showed up, which I thought was a pretty fun addition for history buffs.

>>562758

So you're saying he was Jewish?

Not familiar with the yield there, but I'll go out on a limb and say 'an absolute arseload' if you want to compare it to Dresden.

>>577513

Why can't Japan end diplomatic relations with Israel?

As the french say, better to feel longing all the time, than never having felt it at all.

>>577498

> I'm the only guy in the theater

As in the only person, or the only male? If you're the only person, that's kinda sad, it looks like they put a lot of soul into it. Looks like it only recouped a tenth of the cost in the box office, although I wouldn't be surprised if it did a fair bit better on DVD/Bluray.

>It is most important to attract neutral shipping to our shores in the hope especially of embroiling the United States with Germany . . . . For our part we want the traffic – the more the better; and if some of it gets into trouble, better still.

-Churchill

Look If you read up on it I think it is quite likely that the Lusitania was deliberately exposed to danger in the area by the British admiralty. The would have tried some false flag eventually in any case. It was a CB waiting to happen.

Additionally to give the krauts credit they had warned that ships would be attacked in the area, not to travel etc.

The Uboats initially would rise to the surface, request surrender etc. However the British AMCs would disguise themselves as civillian liners and when the u boats surfaced they would reveal the guns and blow the sub out. This underhanded warfare led to the adoption of the unrestricted submarine warfare by the Germans.

It is absolutely phenomenal though how one WW1 torp could sink the Lusitania as fast as it did…

Anyway regardless the Germans were incredibly foolish not to have accepted the initial peace terms of WW1 but let it drag on.

Garbage. Good thing it was a failure.

>>578200

It's a pretty interesting aspect of WW1 which isn't very well known.

Trenches over the navy any day back then.

If there is ever a war in Asia today Australia would be so fucked. Trade and naval shipping would shit itself as Q-ships would undoubtedly make a big come back. It's not that Q-ships would be very effective but rather that they would make pretty much everything that floats a valid target.
