Where do we get such men?...

From the History books. Few and far between today.

I am wondering why I haven't heard anything on the TV Channels about D Day...............Is it now politically incorrect to mention that heroic invasion?

Of course that is true. When I look at my son and his High School buddies, I think, "How could these kids ever take Omaha"?

But do remember-in 1938, when the blond beasts of the SS were marching into Vienna in triumph, in 1939, when they overran Poland, in 1940, when Paris fell, our Army was tiny. The future heroes of Omaha Beach were schoolkids, grocery clerks, farmhands, and a few college boys. Among them, there were surely more than a few typical American goofballs. No one who could have, by magic, seen the boys of Baker Company together in 1939 at home would have picked them over the Wehrmacht.

America is stronger than you think. It's stronger than I think.

And it's way, way stronger than the Muslim hordes can even effin' imagine.
