Smokin', Doug, just smokin'!!!
Doug, the NYT would never print the story because it was a Democrat's war.
The Navajo Code Talkers were 'expendable' should they be at an immediate 'high risk' of being captured, were they not?
It was a different time. A Democrat war president was the establishment.
I didn't see the movie, but I suspect that would have been true.

Thought you might appreciate this read.
My "what if" question is, "If we had media in WW-II acting like we do now, would we in Iowa be speaking German, or Japanese now?".
We've been in this battle a long time together here. Merry Christmas, my friend.
You can`t compare WW11 and this illegal war. Back then, people actually were killed and, our country was attacked. This war is just about oil and the Bush family fortune. Everybody knows that.
Yeah, right.
Great post, Doug, but not to far from the truth. You should have laid down a little more about how the poor Navajo`s were being exploited
I saw the movie, but I do not know how authentic in all aspects. The Navajo Code Talkers had soldiers with them at all times. Their body guard, for lack of a better word, knew what his mission might entail; but the NCT were not aware they were expendable(in the movie).
If this first one is indicative of the quality, creativity and cleverness, I'm anxiously looking forward to edition's 2 thru...........?
Can't wait until the next installment when they tell us about the planned invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944!
A half year before the same newspaper published a secret war plan developed by General Albert Wedemeyer which listed the steps America would take after declaring war on Germany. The plan was reproduced in exquisite detail in the Dec 4, 1941 issue of the Chi Trb. Publisher John McCormick, an ardent isolationist, hoped knowledge that Roosevelt was preparing to buils a 100 division army would mobilize the anti war movement which had been losing steam.
Sides change. Tactics don't.
I hate it when some of you ruin surprises. :)
Brilliant. Thank you.
Thanks, hno. You and your family have a great Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you and yours, FRiend!

The Navajo code wasn't a code. It was the use of a language.
