I agree with these two, fine French officers. We certainly should not forget what this is all about. :wink: :wink: :wink:

It's about reclaiming the crown from a murderous, Corsican thief and restoring order to a society gone utterly mad. :D :P :mrgreen:

Are you talking about George III? Don't worry we'll come to rescue you from his madness. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Oh, no! I would prefer it if you sticky fingered Frenchmen would not try to "rescue" anything. I have been around long enough to know that the terms "rescue" and "liberate" in the French vernacular translate nearly directly into "plunder", "rape", and "pillage" when converted into action. :shock: :shock: :shock:

An unfortunate mistranslation on your part, but perhaps not surprising since both you and the mad king are of Hanoverian stock.

I have heard that rumor, and he is certainly fluent in German as well as the King's Own English. In point of fact, he was born in England and has never visited my homeland. I really don't attribute his inceesant speech to madness though. I think he just has a lot to say. :o :shock: :roll:

Madness is murdering your rightful rulers, stealing your neighbor's possessions, and still thinking that the rest of the world will simply let you get away with doing so. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Nope, can't say that it does. :lol:

Could you perhaps try explaining?

And if I don't care for the explanation, I can always try shooting you again, or perhaps enforcing those enlistment papers I happen still to have. :P
