Im sorry I made an assumption that was incorrect. I was under the impression you were implying this was an active US policy and DoD run (supply/chain of command/funded/etc) involvement in the war....these guys were not on the US military payroll....so "US unit" is kind of a misnomer...no US uniforms....not fighting under the American flag....no US commanders, etc......"US unit" here implies something more akin to American mercenaries. Didn't mean to piss anyone off. Originally Posted by FriscoKiddo

"Tacit approval" and "a wink and a nod" is not an officially stated/funded/sanctioned US foreign policy....especially when one officially claims to be neutral....and demands to be treated as neutral by belligerent warring nations.

Yeah, they did.

Ambassador Herrick was Wilson's ambassador to France between 1912 and 1914. When the first American Flyboys approached him about serving in the French air force. Herrick gave them the "official spiel" about America being neutral, and all, but then the ambassador purportedly hammered the table with his fist and added: "If I was young and in your shoes, by God I know mighty well what I would do!"

Those young men then went off and enlisted in the French service.

Americans were in France fighting against the Germans in 1915. You lie when you claim they weren't.

It is impossible to educate those who refuse any idea not consistent with their own DPST narrative, history revisionism, and DPST Racism.


From a DPST poster - "Stupidity is only curable with a bullet to the brain." One could only wish.

Typical of regimes such as National Socialists in Germany, and Communists in Russia - the answer to dissent for DPST regimes. Originally Posted by oeb11
