I noticed some of the first headlines about the invasion including a bit of propaganda
“Allied losses less than expected”
Did we really expect to lose more than 85% in the first wave?
Looks like the reporters then goof up just as they do now...ha!....
My dad died from War wounds when I was just four so my mother had some Army books with pictures of the war I use to wade through growing up. It was not til later years I became interested again when from time to time I’d see a photo that reminded me of those I knew as a child.
This led then to the past years, since Iraq and being a lurker then on Free Republic, that I really got interested in History, Wars, Maps and why it is things are today what they are.
It’s so fascinating investigating and learning more and more about these happenings.
I do believe they knew the losses would be great......there were of course problems with communications as well....but the drive continued. I imagine if our soldiers today were allowed to be soldiers we’d see the end to much of the conflicts in the world today....go in and clean house...done deal.
