You know the saddest part of this entire article is the complete irony and lack of vision this writer had about the Navajo Code Talkers and the United States of America!!
Think about this whole scenario: the Navajo Code Talkers fought for the United States of America! That’s right, these brave Marines fought for the freedom of THEIR COUNTRY! They so loved the United States of America that they forgave Her for her past indiscretions and wrong-doings against the Navajo people. And then fought to help keep Her free of the Nazis!
So OBVIOUSLY, the Navajo Code Talkers don’t feel as “wronged” and “slighted” as this writer thinks they should be and OBVIOUSLY these Marines are not affected by A EFFING PICTURE of a EFFING PRESIDENT who has been EFFING DEAD for over a 100 EFFING YEARS!
These writers and their common ilk are so small-minded that they completely missed the irony and complete lack of vision THEY displayed, concerning the scene, the people and the situation the writers were trying to tarnish!!
There were Code Talkers in Europe???
Thank you!!
Such has been the action and experience of generations of knowledgeable American citizens from all backgrounds who loved freedom/liberty more than some extra-Constitutional political ideology!
For a factual example from yet another perspective, curious and unbiased folks might consult the Library of Congress's African-American Section. There, one finds a lengthy and detailed history lesson and celebratory Address on the occasion of the Centennial of the Declaration of Independence written and presented by a noted scholar, State Legislator and Bishop of the A.M.E. Church.
That Address, for any whose minds are not closed, could re-orient the discussion on America's real history--not the revised histories Liberals/Progressives have written and imposed upon many generations of youth.
The following is an excerpt from the "Centennial Thanksgiving Sermon" (1886) (celebrating America's 100th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence) by a Black Ohio Legislator and A.M.E. Bishop Benjamin W. Arnett on "The Greatness of America" - Note that this Sermon is delivered only a few years after the end of the Civil War by this outstanding scholar/legislator/Bishop.
"Let us see what it is that makes us so great; wherein lies our strength. What has made us one of the greatest powers of the earth, politically and intellectually? Have we come to the conclusion that it is Righteousness that exalteth a nation? We have met to-day at the request of the President of the United States, Ulysses S. Grant, and also the Governor of our beloved State, Rutherford B. Hayes. For what? Why call us from our homes? Why come to the house of God? Why not go to the hall of mirth and to the places of amusement to-day? No that is not what they want us to do. We are commanded to go to our 'several places of worship, and there offer up thanks to Kind Providence which has brought our nation through the scenes of another year, and blessed the land with peace, plenty and prosperity.' Then as Americans we have reason to rejoice and congratulate ourselves on the greatness of our beloved country; at this the close of the first hundred years of experimental government of the people, by the people, and for the people. To be a citizen of this vast country is something, and to share in its privileges and duties is more than something." - Dr. Benjamin W. Arnett, 1876 "Centennial Thanksgiving Sermon" - Library of Congress - African-American SectionIf current generations of youth in America go to the LOC web site and read this lengthy Address by a remarkable Black scholar of history, Ohio State Legislator, and A.M.E. Bishop, who had lived through the years surrounding the Civil War, then their perspective might be enhanced, enlarged and encouraged by their pride in such an intellectual giant from America's history.
