And Osama? Didn’t happen.
I read it in the Seymour Hersh book “The Killing of Osama Bin Laden”. Lies throughout by the Kenyan administration. Trump has to let the Seal team come forward and say what really happened. Trump can protect them.
Beautiful.
George Pfiefers book “Tennozan: The Battle for Okinawa” gives a pretty stark and brutal look at the organized “Floating Chrysanthemum” Kamikaze operations launched against the Okinawa invasion fleet.
These weren’t haphazard lone wolf attacks - they were directed and focused human guided aircraft loaded with explosives and gasoline designed to sink the transports.
The Destroyer fleet on radar picket duty, surrounding the transports, took the brunt of the attacks.
Sailors paid a heavy price out there in the ocean abyss.
It’s understandable; there are no battlefield memorials, no marked graves, no poppies, no flags.

Other than Pearl Harbor, Hawaii & various WWII ship exhibits
There were more sailors killed at Okinawa than there were Marines or soldiers killed.
My uncle joined the Navy as a 17 year old in 1941 just days before Pearl Harbor. Went through the whole war in the Pacific. There were events that he either wouldn’t talk about or would say “Don’t ask me any more about that.”
