Yanks: "Overpaid, Oversexed and Over Here" (1 Viewer)

"Comic line, making fun of the US Army in Europe in WWII. There was a good humoured banter between the GIs that were stationed in Britain prior to and during WWII and the British citizenry. The GIs had a come-back - calling the Brits, 'underpaid, undersexed and under Eisenhower' ".

The same comments wer made here in Australia in WW2, when you guys came over to give us a hand in pushiing back the Imperial forces of Japan.

I don't know if the Yanks gave us back any sismilar comments, but I'm sure someone may know?

"The fair nymphs of this isle are in wonderful tribulation, as the fresh meat our men have got here has made them as riotous as satyrs. A girl cannot step into the bushes without running the most imminent risk of being ravished, and they are so little accustomed to these vigorous methods that they don't bear them with proper resignation."
