I'm sure any nation is taking "credit" for anything. The politics room is next door.
Is this even English?

Maybe because it is a film about a group of US Rangers trying to find a US infantryman in the US theatre of operations. The US amphibious assault (in the film) was on Omaha Beach.I think the Americans were further West than the British/Commonwealth forces.

Corbyn received short shrift yesterday from a veteran.
There was a meal organised for the veterans, VIPs, Heads of State and others.
The Labour leader told one of his aide's to go and ask if he could sit and have a meal with this one particular veteran.
His response was sharp - "tell Corbyn to fuck off!"
I had to stifle my laughter.
It was very humbling being in the company of these truly heroic men. Cherish them and their stories while they are here. They are well into their 90s now and may not be around for much longer.
One day they'll go and join their fallen comrades who fought so bravely 75 years ago.
Yes. :)Is this even English?

My misunderstanding, pal. I see now you were more having a go at Hollywood and not nation's taking part in the war effort. My apologies. I agree. Hollywood has a way of distorting events because they think it is a "better" storyMate, I'm not getting at you, or the Yanks, but history is written by the victors and Hollywood wrote the script.
