re: You misunderstood my point.
"In the context of this thread, I was speaking of the courage of the Italians."
The Italian nation in general - or just the ones that died?
As I'm British, does that make me couragous as well - or do you have to actually support the illegal war to be couragous about it. I mean - I still get to pay for it with my taxes, couragous or not. Ditto Italy. The USA has had > 1500 troops killed now - you must have courage dripping out of your pores!
