I know you have a reason for posting these. In fact, I suspect it is a conservative reason. I think it would be a good idea if you stated your goals each time as you make your posts.
Very few posters have an understanding of what conservatism is so any an all reminders are useful.
My objective, if I had to boil it down to one thing, would be to facilitate a long-term internet seminar on World War II. I am not a scholar or a historian so I am unable to offer any original insights or anlysis on the events of the era. In fact I am probably the biggest beneficiary of the knowledge passed along by the various respondants to my posts. If I am learning stuff then I imagine others are too. But I enjoy reading old newspapers and studying the popular culture of times past. So my contribution to the study of history is to offer a perspective on it that may not be found elsewhere.
Eventually, God willing and the creek don't rise, the seminar will become a venue for paying tribute to the Americans who won the war at such a cost. My father and uncle both experienced major combat in the war and their lives were shaped by it. They and their bothers-at-arms are going to be forgotten if their descendents don't keep their memories alive.
Finally, I disagree with your final statement. At Free Republic most posters have an understanding of what conservatism is.
