IMO, sadly and tragically for our nation, today's Liberals, ACLU, and the MSM, would charge the heroes of Iwo Jima with committing atrocities as evidenced by the spineless attacks on today's soldiers. Liberals would cry and whine that our soldiers in WWII used flame throwers and whatever else they had to flush the enemy out of the caves on Iwo Jima. That's how sick and perverted our current day political enemies have become. IMO, unless the American people wake up, our enemies will be knocking at our door.
My opinion is the same as yours.
In all seriousness, the day after the flag-raising, the NYT would run an editorial saying this was un-American behavior to "rub it in the enemies' faces" and was "akin to President Bush's ill-advised 'Bring it on' comment" and the flag over the Saddam statue's face.
