As no consequence, then there is no need to treat it as truthful.

Fake history doesn’t help anyone.

You've totally missed the point, as usual.

Do you deny that the Marines at Belleau Wood fought with grace, skill and patriotism?

If so, please expound, chapter and verse on their shortcomings in that battle.

"I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces guarding our country and our way of life.
I am prepared to give my life in their defense."

OK, you make a claim. Give a reference or a cite.

I went to the Naval Academy, class of 81. The library had an archive that had original documents that anyone could read. I read the rainbow plans and Pete Ellis's plans for the Pacific. I also read battle dispatches from WWI (rain crumpled and discolored with mud). I don't remember the details, but "Teufel Hunden" or "Hounds from Hell" were mentioned. Remember, these weren't the kind of men that felt that they had to brag. They used words sparingly, and cursed "with a southern drawl." Their fighting ability did not require them to make stuff up. So something happened. That there is not an email or an offical report does not mean that it did not occur.

It is one thing to say that there is no official evidence and another to say "fake history.'

Fake History, made up, a myth.

Three times you have made this claim without offering
so much as one link to support your position.

One would be ok, but if you have more, lets see them.
