“A U.S. Navy Seal tribute and reminder of the importance of D-Day”
A wonderful tribute to the soldiers but nothing about the importance of D-Day. How many people know the situation in western Europe before D-Day — the Germans were about to conquer it and then Britain. How many know the fear and hopelessness of the western European citizens? The importance of D-Day is that, with great but necessary sacrifice, we began defeating the Germans.
“...The importance of D-Day is that, with great but necessary sacrifice, we began defeating the Germans.”
Inaccurate.
Implies that nothing of importance happened between May 1940 and June 1944.
We Americans need to stop thinking strictly in terms of foot troops with individual weapons. Any nation armed that way is helpless against weaponry that has been invented since the 1770s: submarines, steamships, smokeless powder, modern artillery, radio, radar, aircraft, guided missiles, etc.
