I think the WWII soldiers would think the same of our democRAT marxists as the ones they fought.

I always think of this scene from The Longest Day (1962) Richard Burton: Flight Officer David Campbell:

“He’s dead. I’m crippled. You’re lost. Do you suppose it’s always like that? I mean war.”

Been watching the ceremony this morning. So moved by those men rising from their wheelchairs to accept their medal. Truly men of honor.

If I were to return to Normandy, how could I tell those young men that the totalitarian mindset they fought and died to defeat now dominates virtually all of America’s institutions?”

Those that fought and won WWII as well as surviving the Great Depression are in deed the Greatest Generation.

I believe they did not want their life’s experiences to be passed on to their children and thus wanted their lives to be better.

As a result they were soft on their kids and our culture and allowed the cultural changes of the sixties. They allowed the hippies to do what hippies did and now they are our leaders destroying America. They allowed Roe vs Wade to happen which enabled America to be an abortion culture.

Many of the changes towards progressiveness happened when they were at the helm.

It’s not their fault alone. Each successive generation after these folks followed suit until our kids today are so spoiled and void of the real world it’s pathetic. Communism is now on our door step and we are all to blame, beginning with that Greatest Generation.

As a kid I recall my dad talking to a neighbor who said he was going to keep his kids in college until the Vietnam war was over, and he did. He was a WWII vet. A classmate was kept in college so long that he was so over educated that same institution then hired him as a professor.

After WW 2, the West was taught that the war was not a war for freedom, but a war against racism.

Thus the West promoted "anti-hate speech" laws and ended immigration restrictions, because otherwise Hitler will have won.

All these migrants, all these "anti-hate speech" laws, are the West's way of continuing to fight Hitler long after he's dead.

And the day before, the Allies in the south liberate Rome with a large invasion force. Within a few days we repeated the enormity of the DDay invasion with the invasion of Saipan…on the other side of the world.

These few weeks represented “peak logistics” for the US.

Now we cheer when Boeing gets a space capsule up into space after 7 attempts.
