Everyone should hear this at least once

The sacrifices made by the soldiers of WW2 and the horrors they endured are something soldiers the world over have experienced in their own way and in their own times. Anyone who has ever been to a "No Kidding" fight or die war is forever changed IMO and most feel they are lucky to still be alive because many of their friends can not say the same. Anyway have a listen and ponder the meat grinder that Omaha beach really was. youtu.be...

My dad was in the 2nd wave to hit the beaches of Iwo Jima and was wounded in the leg soon after he witnessed medal of honor winner Sgt. John Basilone being blown into the air and killed by a Japanese mortar. They were in the same Marine company.

He was another of the many heroes, living and dead, of that war.

Something like this and the video i will put at the end of my comment, should be shown every day to all these war mongering "politicians", to the war mongering presstitutes, to the current war hawks who never have seen a gun or soldier live and direct. Not only once per day but maybe five times they should be forced to listen to words like these!



To hell with all these war hawks and war mongerers, to hell with wars to only fill the next money bin of a few stinky rich money bags who like to play global chess with us peasants. If they really want war, i guess we can find a piece of land on earth where we can put these war loving bastards to fight each other there and harm nobody else on earth. Until the problem of these crazies solves itself by that way.

I feel so sorry for anyone that had to fight a war. But I don't feel compassion or see any reason for praise.

They fell for the propaganda of the time, there is no honor in that. There is no honor to fight a war for those that don't care about your life either.

All I hope is you learnd the lesson even though the hard way. my estimate is you made it trough to make sure future generations don't make the same mistake as you did.

Although the WWII vets were honored when they came home, they were expected to act like nothing happened to them. Buy a house, raise a family, happy days but they had been through atrocities they weren't allowed to deal with.

Army secretary urges soldiers to ‘stand up for women’ amid Carlson controversy
The statement comes after Maj. Gen. Patrick Donahoe, who sparred with conservative hosts online, was reprimanded in an Army investigation.

Following a column in The Washington Post about the investigation, retired Col. Yevgeny Vindman, who came to prominence alongside his brother, Alexander, during former President Donald Trump’s first impeachment, defended Donahoe and warned of the culture war that the Army has struggled to navigate in the age of social media.

“Unfortunately, it’s working. The Army just ended the career of MG Donahoe, the ‘Woke’ general because he stood up to Fox/Tucky,” Vindman tweeted. The Pentagon and the Army, he added, “are lost. They fear the right. They are losing their moral compass and service-members will vote with their feet.”

I can't stop crying.....

They all were hero's. Freedom for all is not freedom from bad people. It is however the freedom for all that gives us a chance when the enemy is thinking about coming over to join us and fight against their leadership by our side.

Nope just the Woke within it are signaling their own demise. We have growing pains MIM. We are giving rebirth to the Constitutional Republic following the COTUS. These people are whiney asses who are going to end up leaving for some island near Biden Isle I would think to hide out and enjoy the bounty of their deceit.

This probably deserves its own thread for numerous reasons, but mostly not to sully the original topic

Are you suggesting those who served in WWII should have all been conscientious objectors?

If there were enough of those that thought this way in the 1930s and 1940s those of us that were left would be living the Man in the High Castle at best.

I get the premise I really do, and a recent history of questionable wars will do that. That said WWII, for whatever reason we had 2 empires wanting to expand and they had the means and wherewithal to do so. How can you not see the brutality and torture war prisoners and civilians took and not think it was a noble effort is beyond me.

Japan needed to be confronted over the rape of Nanking alone. WWII could have been worse, a lot worse. Thing is there will brilliant scientists that had their qualms about developing the bomb, but felt virtually anything would be better than letting Hitler and Germany win.

Really how so? are we perfect in the west absolutely not, but our tolerance level has definitely increased. As for China who knows even their treatment of the Uguyers is more based on we need the land than we need to remove this race from the face of the earth. Besides some would say it was a learned behavior from the aforementioned rampages of the Japanese Empire.

A small distinction but a distinction nonetheless.

So past generations are supposed to do not only fight for their generation's survival but for the future generation as well?

Literally, 2 generations have lived in a better world because of the sacrifices of that generation, is it perfect no of course not, but the fact that we haven't had a worldwide conflict since is worth something. Seems you are suggesting we would have been better off capitulating to the Japanese and the Germans.

If nothing at all it has given us collectively a chance, and in life and the real world isn't that about all you can ask for? Just a chance at a relatively free and unencumbered life.

WWII was so successful there are just regional conflicts now, no matter how close we came in 1962

Besides, there is always good and evil, it's a constant battle, not sure if it's in our genetics or situational but it is probably a little bit of both.

When looking back at World War II, the victors see their own military contributions the clearest. Hence the United Kingdom spotlights the Battle of Britain and El Alamein, the Russians Stalingrad and Kursk, and the Americans D-Day and Midway. The contribution of China, whose war was the longest and among the bloodiest, tends to be forgotten in the West, and for years was little commemorated even in China.

A new book, Forgotten Ally: China's World War II, 1937-1945, by Oxford historian Rana Mitter, aims to sharpen this fuzzy picture by presenting the Middle Kingdom’s eight-year war against an invading Japan—a war that had been under way more than two years before the Nazis invaded Poland, which is the usual starting point for histories of World War II. “Essentially,” Mitter explained in an interview with Pacific Standard, “the politics of the Cold War covered over that what is coming to be realized, I think, as one of the great missing pieces of the jigsaw puzzle of World War II.” Now, however, a combination of archives in China opening up and a new political attitude by its leaders has cracked the historical window.

Tolerance for ethnicity sure a slave is a slave who cares what DNA he has. What has been learned is that the biggest threat is not genetics but thought.
now you tell me there isn't a coordinated effort to have as little divergent thaught as possible. The eugenics moved on as they too realised mind over matter.

Still pushing the propaganda, they really learned to go deep into ones brain during that time, and they didn't stop contrary to what their historian tells you.

So how is it that your oh so caring government first send its man do die before they tell General motors to stop supplying the Nazi war machine? Must have been all about the bad guys...

Anytime nato is active, it's a global conflict. Your rhetoric is that of a war hawk, trying to whitewash his business.

Carry on...
