Wir sind wer wir sind = We are who we are"

How many of you people took German and how many assume they know what they're talking about? =p Things never translate so clean between languages. It's not so clean. Plus you have to figure in conjugations, tense, grammar....all of which can easily make a word like Panzer mean "Super intercontinental death monkey missile". (obviously not the word, but good enough example)
