If they could only see what they were sacrificed for….
The bravery of those men to charge out of landing craft into withering machine gun fire, or to jump out of planes or crash land in gliders, can never be questioned. What can and should be questioned is whether we were fighting the right enemy in the first place and who really won the Second World War.
Based on the daily headlines out of Europe it wasn’t “the good guys”
Breaks my heart what we sacrificed and now what we have. Military service is and was the family business going back as far as we can tell to the civil war, and families in Eastern Europe, both my kids and my son-in-law now serve, I hope they are the last. Both of my Grandfathers served in WWII, one in the Army and the other in the Army Air Corps, he got his leg crushed being run over by a jeep one night, his disability for a crushed leg was like $40 a month, he just limped around the rest of his life. No more constant foreign entanglements, we should have never entered WWI, WW2 same as Korea, Vietnam, etc…they were all setups.
I will honor the men and women, not the wars.
Bobsuncle, sorry to hear how your grandfather got so royally screwed by the US Military for his service in WWII. This is an ongoing problem for our military. Get wounded and about all our military does is patch you and from there on you are on your own. Trying to adjust to civilian life is your problem.
I recently saw a video for a military member that was fucked up seven ways to Sundy because of his service. It was for a “project” that endeavors to serve wounded servicemen. Why the hell is our Department of Defense not taking care of these people? Perhaps the people at this “project” are legitimately trying to help injured service people, but like any organization in this day and age, are the higher ups skimming off a share of the contributions for their own personal enrichment?
One reason is the couple in the video after this recap of what is happening now: https://johngaltfla.com/economics/i-just-cant-but-we-will-2009-flashbacks-video/amp/
I never knew such retardedness existed, but now I know who owns all the lake cabins that locals can’t come close to affording, along with trailers of toys…
They would have turned the guns around if they knew that they were fighting for the rainbow bathhouse gloryhole and tranny story hour.
Esteemed CPUSA (D) party member comrade kommissar FDR was preezy of the steezy back then and he loved him some commies, with or without the Austrian painter.
Breaking-Diddy is raping everybody! No matter what the sex or species.
Honk, honk.

Quite certain no one fought and died in WWII to preserve the joos’ ability to tear apart Paris with a bunch of black/brown third worlders: https://m3.gab.com/media_attachments/00/b2/b4/00b2b4b2248cc4011cd7412b9c3e4992.mp4
Never mind what clown world eventually turned into, if they had just known the “civil rights” campaign that was coming immediately after the war, at least half of them would have refused to go.
No doubt. Something I wonder now is whether the men who fought in WWII (and survived to come home) more or less “blew their wad” in terms of that sort of aggression, and had no fight left in them after that. Certainly, many of them saw (and had to do) terrible things during the war that left permanent stains on their psyches So, I’d postulate that on their return to civilian life here at home, many simply didn’t have the juice needed to rise up against domestic enemies.
What I wish I knew is if any (even a minority) of those men of my grandparents generation ever perceived these domestic enemies and had thoughts of needing to challenge them (and just didn’t), or if they didn’t “see” the problems to begin with. Perhaps they were blinded by misplaced patriotism, for all I know. No real way of knowing now, all my grandparents have long since passed, and very few WWII vets remain, assuming they’d want to be candid about what they perceived, if asked now..
My Grandfather and Great Uncle ALL served in WWII as did their friends.
I love history and they normally wouldn’t talk about their war time experiences but in the early 1990s they did to me.
I heard stories like my Grandfather having to jump into shark infested waters after his ship the cruiser Northhampton was going down. His best friend Freddy whose company of marines hit the beaches of Iwo Jima and at the end 2/3rds were killed or wounded including him and he walked with a limp for the rest of his life.
They were very fine men and on one hand I mourn their passing but on the other hand am glad they aren’t seeing what’s happening to the country they sacrificed for.
They saw it coming, I remember they all said that NAFTA and GATT would cause all of the jobs to leave and the country would slide into shit. They were aghast that a POS like Bill Clinton was President and I’ll never forget my Grandad saying to me that the country was going to shit and it broke his heart.
Peace and prosperity are wonderful things in their time and place, but they can dull the senses and the mind alike to imminent threats. More simply stated, during good times, people let down their guard, and do not expect to be attacked, whether kinetically or ideologically. Yet that is precisely when the Cultural Marxists intensified their efforts to subvert the U.S. and the West. And in the Baby Boomers they found a perfect target for their malicious and destructive ideology. And you know the rest.
Expecting the WW2-Korea War era population cohorts to “save the day” yet again after already surviving the Great Depression and WW2 (plus Korea and then Vietnam) – was/is probably a bridge too far. They were exhausted and by that time probably saw the chaos around them during the 1960s and 1970s as someone else’s problem. They held the line as best they could. The madness didn’t really ratchet up until the “Greatest Generation” started retiring and passing away, thus clearing the way for the younger folks to take over, as with Bill Clinton in the 1990s.
Yup, that’s what they fought for.
