Each war - since Roosevelt put communists in the State Dept, WH and DOD - and since Truman left them there and promoted others - we have lost in Washington, the State Dept and DOD.

We would have just nuked them repeatedly in late 45 with the Russians still out by Warsaw or even Smolensk. Maybe the Nazis would have still been holding Romania. Also, the landing in Southern France was still on for August 44. It would have been WW1 all over again.

"Ambrose points out that never could have happened in the German army."

Huh, really? Those Nazi automatons couldn't even load their weapons without someone flipping the correct switch on the back of their coal scuttles, I suppose. And from a guy who claims to be an expert on WW2!

But then again, he also thinks America would have shrugged and sat out the rest of the war if D-Day didn't work out.

I have to disagree somewhat with the German soldiers being automatons. Wehrmacht troops were trained to independently act on a tactical level, and junior enlisted men could take over squads as well as the Americans.

Where the forces of Liberty defeated the forces of Tyranny was at the Top Level- when it was obvious that the Allies were landing, Hitler was asleep and everybody on his staff were afraid to wake him up. On the other hand, President Roosevelt had little to nothing to do with the D-day invasion (Winston Churchill had only a little more) and General Eisenhower's easiest work day was June 6, when D-Day actually happened.

In a Totalitarian regime, everyone's afraid of the dictator and a wrong move could lead to imprisonment or death for you and your family. In a society based on Liberty, even the lowliest Private can lead large groups of men in desperate battle against a fierce enemy...and be rewarded for it.

The Uberlibs and LBGTQs have conquered and corrupted the Scouts. What outcome do you foresee?

Now the Soviet Army and the Imperial Japanese Army both treated their enlisted soldiers like dirt, and they could do nothing without someone leading them.

When the Soviets and Americans met at the Elbe at the end of WWII, the Soviets were astounded that an American 1st Lieutenant had as much authority as a Soviet colonel.

In 1994, I was in boot camp with a Russian emigre' who was drafted into the Soviet Army in the mid-1980's. He told me that the Sergeants had no real authority at all, and it was the Officers who were giving the orders. Of course, in the US Army, the E-5's, 6's, and 7's are the backbone.

The outcome has already happened before our very eyes.

While the OKW command structure was centralized under Hitler, when it came to small unit tactics the Germans were excelled. I’ve known dozens of WW2 vets who flat out told me “You never got anything from the Krauts unless they were ready to give it up’’. On the offensive the Germans hit hard and fast and when they encountered heavy resistance, especially in a fortified or fixed position they surrounded it , cut it off and kept moving, leaving the infantry to deal with it. As their fortunes changed they believed in defense in depth and whenever and where ever possible always counter attacked.

Unfortunately, the Muslims. Given the continuing emasculation of the Boy (now Gay) Scouts, all that will be learned in the BS "is" stuff more appropriately taught to Girl Scouts.

Rommel would have stopped us. Rommel was a truly bad-@as SOB war fighter, and he knew what he was doing.

So, God took out Rommel via Hitler’s insanity.

Lots and lots of lawsuits filed against BSA and criminal charges filed against their leaders once the country once it becomes sane again.

The history of war is always up for debate.

I believe ultimately, WWII was won by American Exceptionalism and Divine Providence.

"I’m surprised that D-Day is trending on Twitter given the ignorance of the past couple of generations about the significance of June 6. But those of us old enough to remember when commemorating D-Day was a big deal, should take the responsibility for passing on the feelings that all of America experienced that day, summed up in Eisenhower’s D-Day address to the troops, and FDR’s heartfelt prayer."

Let us take that one step further....into the mendacious and disreputable Ms. Bill Clinton's recent vicious propaganda...anyone under the age of 35 probably knows little or knows not at all the Clinton history from Arkansas to the White House and beyond, especially Hillary's shadowy grabs for wealth and power....by making sordid and vile accusations about those who are exposing her and of course the GOP, Libertarians and other conservatives.

NO AGAIN TO HILLARY!!

Today’s boy scouts are being transformed into the Hitler’s youth of the Obama generation.

About the only thing that would have caused Allied failure at Normandy was the weather.

Especially the higher level leaders with personal liability lawsuits coming long before any criminal action. This is not a case of possibly innocent supervisory error, as it was with the RC Church letting the wrong people in to run youth programs and often discovering after the fact what those homosexuals did. Rather, it’s a case of the highest leadership of the organization deliberately compelling the penetration in the face of the strongest warnings and clear knowledge of what the homosexuals had done to the RC Church.
