Yes I remember. But what I'm having problems with is HOW you
translate someone surrendering to the enemy as being a coward? You do
know there are a lot of ex POW's in Australia. Are you calling all of
them cowards? And to think you THINK your grandfather would be proud
of you. I can tell you right now, he would NOT be proud of you
calling POW's cowards.
