Cuz' near as I can tell Finland isn't anywhere near coming close to that definition. And I think the last time the Finns had a fight one their hands, and did fight with real distinction, was the Russo-Finnish War.
The fact Finland is neither in that position nor near it is a good thing! I'm sorry you don't appreciate everyone's disdain for hegemony across the world, but we can't all be Little United States. The fact you've served once, let alone three times is telling, not something to revel in.
Regardless, the simple observation remains; much like the English, Americans have never fought an equally matched opponent, singlehandedly. Whilst their action in both World Wars was commendable, they only got involved when at the latter stages of WW1, and when forced to in WW2. Without Pearl Harbour, no American presence. Infact, I wonder, perhaps if the German Revolution had succeeded, America would have propped up Hitler to fight Marxism.
Deja vu! Supporting dictators in far away countries, to fight Marxism. Does that sound familiar to you?
In August of 2004, Zappi, Homba, Bambam887, RedScorpion and MOOXE all pitched
in to create this Close Combat site. I would to thank all the people who have visited
and found this site to thier liking. I hope you had time to check out some
of the great Close Combat mods and our forums. I'd also like to thank
all the members of our volunteer staff that have helped over
the years, and all our users that contributed to this site!
