Yesterday night, the "Combat Reporter Live" show ran a live interview with myself and Andrew Walrond discussing the history and development of B17-II.

The show is now archived in the "Combat Reporter Live" section at www.allgames.com

I was totally offended by the opening segment of this show where Jim Downs says that Dynamix has died because of the French involvement and he refers to them as "frogs."
Racist and offensive, somebody ought to sue these bastards.

I dont worry about what he said about the French. Not that I have a lot of respect for them not letting us overfly our bombers over their airspace while still selling arms to the Libyans. I didn't feel it was a racist remark and Im a minority.

Since when were the French considered a race? Nationalistic maybe. But racist? No way.

/no offense intended
Can I fly over said New York with a plane full of bomb ?

Can I crash over innocent people ?

I don't care of "ricain" or "briton" so let risk to kill some that's just piece of meat not really human !
/end no offense intended

And yes "frog" is offensive to me ...

By the way doesn't US who have sell gun to uncle HO in about 1945 ? (with the organisation know now as CIA)
I've lost part of my familly in Indochine aka Viet-nam perhaps killed by US gun.

Check your history !
What governement do isn't always what citoyen want to do !

Okay u stoked my fires. I'll have u know that these americans who u dislike saved u 2 times. Yes England and USA saved the French in WW1 and WW2, and there is no disputing that, it is fact. As far as Vietnam goes, if the French didnt try so desperately to hold onto Vietnam as a French state then the French-Viet conflict would not have started. It is too bad a relative of yours was killed, my uncle was killed at LZ x-ray with the first air cav....20 yrs old.....so dont even start this.

Sorry to see that you misunderstood my post.

First I never intended to said I dislike americans people some good friend of me are american and other are german !

I just said that when an foreign army enter your territory they're is just 2 case
1 : you are in war
2 : you agreee
and the french governement just said "NO"
I would have said "YES" but I was not in the governement at this time !!

I don't want to start a flame war but as you rewrite history just small points.

USA just get European gold/money during WWI until 1917.Except some couragous people from squadron lafayette (for exemple) who fight before your governement enter the war.
Who in USA was taking care of this little european war ? apart your Banks ?

Concerning WWII I agree with you at just one exception : without Pearl Harbour and do you think that USA would have enter war ?

For Indochine USA made the same mistake as my governement but for other reason (as bad as our ) and it's impossible to fight againt people wanting their Freedom!

Fine, i just get very aggravated when people mention vietnam and say this and that about the US. Vietnam is a huge scar on our nations history if u ask me and a waste of lives. As far as WW2 goes, the US would have definitely entered the war if pearl harbor had not occured. A conflict escalating into WW2 regardless of pearl or our gov't wanting to stay out, we would have been sucked in regardless. WW1, we did come in the last year of war, however if we hadnt u think the French could have defeated the Germans without England and the US? Impossible. Anyway, i hate getting all fired up so ignore my previous post, eh whatever..have fun cya in the air when B17-2 is out.
regards

I agree with you !
War is always a waste of soul!
It's better to kill pixel :-)) (they can respawn!)

And as for scars in history french have Algerie War where certain of our soldat have been WORST than NAZI.

And to rewrite history the only way for France to win over NAZI was to start war in 1936 or 1933 but in 1939 even if we have on paper an army more powerfull than nazi!
We havn't neither stratégie nor organisation.
It's a french speciality to be unorganised :-)

The BlitzKieg used by Guderian for exemple
was theorically defined by an obscure officer called de Gaulle .
Yes the général de Gaulle has written the théorie in about 1929 (not sure of the date) in "Vers l'armée de métier" and another book I don't recall.

For WWI the impact of USA wasn't all military but more psychological on german!

But don't forget that before 19e century our favorite enemy was England :-)) not Germany :-))

If it wasn't the case I don't think French king would have helped America getting independance !

see you in air
Amicalement

Just on point it's awfull to think in french and having to write in english :-))

Something clear in my mind can become an offense in english.
So dont read me in english but try to translate in ... spanish
perhaps it has the same meaning (obviously after 2 translation it's quite impossible :-))

I listened to part of the interview, gotta agree that the comment on the French was in the worst possible taste. So it goes... Here in Canada we have our own issues between French and English, many from misunderstanding. But I have many friends who are French. Welcome here!
