Oh, I think so, and agree. The underestimation of American might, and American values, has indeed appeared since those days, IMHO. I know or have known so many who served in WWII, and I have heard their stories. It amazes me how most of our people have seemingly forgotten those deeds of conspicuous heroism and valor in and beyond the call of duty. And what they owe to all those men and women.

Here's to Manila John Basilone, a Marine's Marine, and here's to the 82nd Airborne. Here's to the codebreakers, and the codetalkers, and the Coast Guard. And a cast of thousands. And here's to the Viet Nam Vets, and the VFW. And here's to Rosie the Riveter, for crying out loud.

One more big attack from the AQ and it will be a sad day for even the good Americans of Arab and similar descent, I fear. And I will support mass relocations, etc., and whatever else may be required.

And that's all I have to say about that.

Much agreement.

Trouble is,

After they use the internment camps for Arabs et al,

they will come for the Christians and Jews.

Lots of double bind choices ahead it appears.

And some very clear cut ones.

Agree with your great points about historical efforts and people.
