Reading through here, it just dawned on me how very cool it is to have Amis and Brits and Deutche and Dutch and everyone else talking. I spent twenty years in the US Army as a grunt, and I may be getting old, but I think there is a real brotherhood between grunts, whatever country they may be from. I lived in Germany for eight years during the cold war, worked in a NATO unit and had many friends and acquaintenances who were either in the German military or had been (including some who had fought on either the western or eastern front in WW2).
My impression was, and still is, politicians be ****ed, there is more in common between the grunts of the various nations than there are differences. We all believe(or believed) that we are doing the right thing for the right reasons. We all believed we were defending our homeland. Anyway, I'll get down off my soapbox, but I salute any man who has stood in close combat for the principles in which he believed. He is, to quote a cliche, my brother in arms. |

 I'm not English, sooo (I speak German tho  - but I am not German, I'm Swiss...)And, what about girls playing here? |

"A grunt" is US Army slang for MOS 11B - Infantryman. Otherwise known as 'the true faith.'

My dad was a Copter-Jockey in Vietnam, a crew chief aboard a CH-47, and both my grandfathers served in WWII, one an American paratrooper, the other, a German paratrooper (what a coincidence, huh?). I firmly believe that all soldiers, no matter what nationality, have more in common than they think. Thanks for bringing that up.
"As we sat there in that basement, with lights flickering and dust falling with every muffled explosion occurring in the street above us, we listened to the strokes of the paino playing on the radio. This seemed only to compound the hopelessness filling the air, as thick as humidity. I sat in a red chair, smoking a cigarette, thinking about the past week's events. Kreiger, Wittmann, Weir, Fuchs, and Heiglemann were dead. All of them. All my friends, with whom I had shared so much agony, were gone forever." - Excerpt from storyline for "At What Cost" |

Auf Deutsch: Grunt=Stoppelhopser   |
|||
|
Stoppelhosper....hab ich noch nie gehoert
|
||||
|
|

@Kongo_Otto: Stoppelhopser? Wo hast du denn die ÃÅ“bersetzung her?! Hab's zwar noch nie gehört, kann mir aber ungefähr vorstellen, was es bedeutet
Danke!! |

So werden die PzGrenadiere in der Bundeswehr von den Artilleristen genannt. |
|||
|
|
|
Aha, dann sind das aber nur PzGrenadiere und nicht Rekruten in general?
Bei uns sagt man ihnen Grenädlä (jedenfalls in Berndeutsch )"Es ist kein Mensch, es ist kein Tier, es ist ein Panzergrenadier." That's what we used to say... |
|||
|
ihr habts ja mit eurem Bern?
|
||||

|
|
wat denn?! I just said how we call 'em in Bernese... (ausserdem, ich hab noch niemanden ausser mir gesehen, der aus Bern kommt... Ihr schon?)
Great language - and no real grammar!!!!  |
