Default Greek Tragedy

Hi Guys,
I am an Englishman who empathises with your losses in the civil war. We had a civil war-not a 1/100th as bloody in the 17th century. Yours is a tragedy of Greek Epic proportions. In spite of this very little taught over here. Yours is a vast and great country littered with the historic deaths of the brave.

Greek Epic? Why thank you. Many a books have mentioned how, "Greek fought Greek." I myself think of it as the Mother of All American Family Feuds. Welcome to this website.

Don't pay any attention to Larry. He's a bit wierd. But he does know just about everything there is to know about the western theater. Second set of welcome.

Default "Why thank you Sirs!"

Why thank you sirs-honoured to receive your replies.

Yes, I visited your country in the mid nineties on honeymoon- we were blessed by many of your people.
We were touched by the connection you have with your brief but troubled history, your roots in your homelands, your congeniality-and the honour of your actions. Southern pride!

Catch you later.

Got some research to do.
