And Telan, if that is the point your people are at then that is where it is.

It doesn't matter if the American bases are gone, and the Germans are free to their own designs. They've already become Americanized in your eyes beyond the point of wanting to redeem themselves.

By your own words, Prussian pride is dead and the days of the Empire passed. And please take a moment of thought and introspection on this. On your own values and beliefs of what it means to be German, or what it means to be a gentleman (two distinctly different things).

And in the end, truly, the American Occupation worked perfectly.

Yes. Yes it did. Germany as I knew it, as I believe in it, as my family died for it to be, is truly gone.

Can it be resurrected? I suppose that is only for the gods to decide.

My family fought and died in it as well. My grandfather fought in the secone World War and Korea.

But you are championing killing by championing conquest. There is no honor in fighting a war in the name of domination.

There is honour in combat between men who meet to fight for what they believe in. Conquest brings glory to a people and glory brings pride. Conquest is not always bad, nor is it always good. It is the way of things. The weak perish so the strong survive. It is the way of nature.

As I mentioned, I repsect the unwavering pride you have for your homeland, but I suppose we must agree to disagree Telan.
