7 And sailed off to aEurope to join the Brits and the Frogs in the enormous btrench that had been dug in the middle of France,
8 Where the combined military might of the most powerful nations on earth had been locked in mortal combat for years,
9 cEquipped with the most modern and deadly weapons anyone had ever seen,
10 dWhich they fired at each other from point-blank range,
11 Until the fields of France were soaked in the blood of tens of millions of dead Europeans,
12 Including the blood of millions and millions of Krauts,
13 eWho should have had more sense than to sink a ship carrying several hundred Yanks,
14 fBecause now they were really going to get it.

5 hEven when they're whipped.
6 Of course, the actual terms of the peace treaty still had to be worked out,
7 Which Wilson had a lot of iideas about,
8 jBecause he really wasn't kidding about the war to end all wars,
9 kAnd making the world safe for democracy,
10 And other stuff like that.

1 The way the Frogs looked at it,
2 mThe Krauts needed to be punished,
3 To death,
4 nBecause they'd already had their second chance,

CHAPTER 80
1 The other Allies weren't quite as hysterical as the Frogs,
2 pBecause nobody ever is,
