You mean of course four years (count them, from 1st Bull Run to Appomattox). Your word "successfully" is interesting. The Confederacy SURRENDERED.

"In WWII France did not think their country, about which French degenerates try to unsuccessfully convince the world of its greatness, was worth fighting for five weeks."
Bullshit. Fact is, the Germans landed a knockout, killer blow on the French in the first few days, and the situation was critical from that moment. The French fought on until late June when the position was completely hopeless and they had little left to fight with (rather like the rebel southerners did).

"The only sensible thing to do is to keep hammering away, since it has clearly struck a nerve"
You mean, "since it is clearly the only hackneyed argument I've got".

You're such a ludicrous wannabe-hero.

The Polish had the NAZIs and the Reds invade them at the same time. They NEVER surrendered. A good portion of their army was annihilated and the remainder either taken POW or escaped to fight along side the British/Allies. Moreover, they had a real civil resistance network that provided the allies with valuable intel and ran sabotage missions (as did the Danes and NOT the fwinch) See the book A Bridge Too Far for a shining example of unparalleled heroism in which polish paratroopers fought to the death so the greater bulk of British troops could evacuate. Now that is balls. Note that the stinkies were NO WERE near operation market garden, they were of course present at all the victory parades. Of course after the war, instead of having learned a lesson in humility, they go on trying to re-enslave the south Asian pacific and north Africa. Thank you stinkies, for Vietnam.
