Your blind ignorance is showing, Little Hawk. Most people know the expression to "go tits up" refers to the death of a four-legged animal, not a biped. Your defense of the brave Italians is honorable, and probably no more true than the implication they were generally unbrave. I imagine the distribution curve was about the same as that of the English or the Americans, for that matter. ANd let there be no mistake, I was simply referring to Rapaire's back-pedaling, not impugning him for cowardice. I would not ever imply such a thing, me.
