Yeah, yeah, US History sucks. But World War 2 history, well, thats a whole other story. You should go to Washington DC some time and check out the museums dedicated to WW2. Freakin' awsome. My favorite is the Jagpanther. Or maybe the Japanther "Hetzer" 38t. Such a cute little tank. I wanna feed it Shermans or something. Oh, and I hear the have a King Tiger there. Oooooh! Wanna ride that kitty so baaaaaaaad! Anyway, before seizures take hold, I'm just going to say that not all history is bad. The teachers tend to make it seem like it sucks if they can't make it fun. But if you can really appreciate the importance of the story, it can be really neat. If you want any help on the subject, just ask me for help. It's all I know. Seriously. That's it. I don't even know how to tie a shoe. But I can tell you the importance of Kursk from both the Russian and German viewpoints as well as what could have/should have happened to make the battle go the other way and what it means to the world today. But not a shoe. Velcro and

Of course not all history is bad. When I get to college, I fill my requirements with something I like. As far as German and Russian viewpoints, they don't matter, because this is US HISTORY, not WORLD HISTORY. World history was ok...Not as depressing, and it was about stuff I care about...Not a retarded country...And wars are stupid...Not my cup of tea...

Hey, Kursk was important to America in the sense that a massive portion of the German armored forces where wiped out, especially the Tiger units, which where nearly impossible for any normal American unit to engage with any sliver of a hope to come out the victor, let alone survive. It more or less pulls a potentialy lethal knife from America's, at the time, overly exposed throat. But hey, who cares, right? Oh I think I know of someone who cares. Anyone know the Jeeeeeeewwwwwws? I think they care. I think they care alot. And besides, US History can be fun. Just wait until you get to the 60's and the 70's. Them's some good times, yo! What with the civil rights movement, the Vietnam war and the coinciding protests, the music, and the all around blending of world views. It was during those decades that American society was really brought full face to the reality of other countries on more than just a political level. And do I need to mention the space program? I know it's a joke now, but back then, it was a great uniting
