I have hope for the future, but let’s face it: That kind of bravery and sense of duty is seldom found anywhere these days.
To commemorate one of the most important events in history, liberals are comparing the brave Allied soldiers with the unemployed loser scumbags of the domestic terrorist group Antifa. The reason for this disgusting comparison is of course to
Which, historically, is exactly the time it begins to reappear.

Apples/Oranges. In today's environment you don't
need the physical human bodies to do many times
more destruction/deaths as in those days. Just think
back to the differences since Columbus sailed the
ocean blue. One idiot to issue the order and one to
push the button or they could be one and the same.

Those were the days.
"They have coastal batteries and mine fields; they have [illegible] and E-boats and submarines."
My guess on the "illegible" tag: "...they have EXQUISITE BAKED GOOD and E-boats and submarines."
Should be baked goods. SMH
That's right! It's okay, the more the better.
In fact, it was my very first thought when I saw the title on the main page:
D-DAY AT 78
Heh, this is where I amuse, lose, or just plain irritate people because I just say WHat I see:
78 = lechem [לחם]* = bread, as in Bethlehem, the "house of bread."
Positive waves:
Because when I clicked, I saw your comments right at the top. I was reminded that David was born in the city of Bethlehem -- Bakery Town, so to speak -- and yesterday (Shavuot, the day of the giving of the Law) is the traditional date for the birth and death of King David. Yesterday at dusk, I saw that 2 out of the 4 Phoebe eggs hatched in the nest over the front door and house sign. Having already calculated the ETA, I had decided to name them all "David".
The next two arrived by this morning! God bless all of the brand new Baby Davids at my door.
Anyway, yesterday was Pentecost, the "50th" day on the Christian calendar for the same day, and David (the name in plain English) ends up back in Hebrew with the sum of 50 [דייוויד] because the name is spelled as it sounds: DAY-vid.
I love it when a plan comes together.
D-Day: "D" is for whatever day is *the* determined day, the "mum's the word" day because... it's classified:
The invasion is often known by the famous nickname "D-Day" yet few people know the origin of the term or what, if anything, the "D" stood for. Most argue it was merely a redundancy that also meant "day" but others have proposed everything from "departure" to "decision" to "doomsday"
According to the U.S. military, "D-Day" was an Army designation used to indicate the start date for specific field operations. In this case, the "D" in D-Day doesn't actually stand for anything -- it's merely an alliterative placeholder used to designate a particular day on the calendar...
Shavout actually runs for a second day, and our beloved 40th president died on June 5th, 2004, so here we are all together on the luchot/luches: the calenders, the tablets of the "lawh". 18 "chai" years on.
D-Day.. "the start date for specific field operations"

I can hear the sound of violins, long before, it begins.
The military also employed the term H-Hour to refer to the time on D-Day when the action would begin. This shorthand helped prevent actual mission dates from falling into enemy hands, but it also proved handy when the start date for an attack was still undecided. Military planners also used a system of pluses and minuses to designate any time or day occurring before or after D-Day or H-Hour.
78 *is* "this day", hayom hazeh: היום הזה, 78
"Dis" Day, sounds like a day for no respect.
Thank you for remembering, and connecting this Day with baked goods.

God's enemies fight Him with all that they have, all that they know, 24/7/365.
*The Hebrew root for war ties right in: ל-ח-ם (78)
As it turns out, God has at His disposal all that His enemies *don't* know. The dark side never learns because it knows everything already.
Q.E.D. (It's a veritable tombstone.)
Shavuot is the only Festival not referenced by a specific date in the Jewish lunar calendar. Its classification as the time of the giving of Torah is recorded as Day 50 after the Exodus. This firmly establishes Shavuos as the climax of the Exodus. In the relationship between God and Israel, the giving of Torah at Sinai is termed on your wedding day.
