AA artillery and machineguns on Eben Emael's roof after eight months of war, true? That seems like a very basic development...especially in a country with a professional army and a large-scale...

I have been angered by Brad in the past, it is what Brad works towards with his posting style, as you have clearly identified (ask Tiornu off line, or me if you must). But please, I request that you...
