Cut all Federal (U.S. taxpayer) funding including any monies going to students who haven’t signed up for the draft. If they can’t grasp the sacrifice of those veterans, it’s time they started learning.

Remember the brave Americans of the “Greatest Generation” who fought and in all too many cases died in WWII, and saved the world from fascism, Nazism, and Japanese imperialism!!!!

May their Memories be Eternal!!!!

It really doesn’t matter one whit how “diverse” they were!

Maybe we’ll need another great war to save us from “diversity”, “inclusion”, and the new domestic communism!! I hope not! We’ve had all too many wars, many of them less than useless!!!!

During WW2 18 year olds were storming the beaches while being shot at.

Now 18 year olds get frightened by a mural or statue.

Your comment reminded me I send this letter to papers every August.

The Snowflakes Began at Woodstock

Celebrating the Woodstock concert that began August 15, 1969 highlights the worst generation this country produced until Baby Boomers formed breeding pairs. They achieved self-actualization through moral exhibitionism and militant self-absorption, while ignoring the nobility their parents achieved by enduring the Depression and WW II.

Their parents misapplied the worthwhile insights of Dr. Spock. His asymmetrical definition of common sense did not balance love and affection with standards for behavior, self-control, and respect. For many parents then, common sense meant providing every advantage they had missed.

In the process of catering to children’s feelings and preferences, the Greatest Generation raised defiant, narcissistic offspring who viewed gratification as a right. Rather than examples to emulate, Boomer parents were merely vending machines required to fulfill material desires during a time of unimagined plenty.

These Boomers have an unprecedented focus on self. With them the divorce rate first exceeded the marriage rate. When in powerful positions they seek policies of moral diversity/perversity, and material comfort to transform the country from the Arsenal of Democracy into just another Gulag of apostasy, greed, and dependency.

Worst of all Boomers begat through multi-generational psychological incest a legacy of ideologically mutant children and grandchildren. The Boomer offspring have become the “Snowflakes” of present times. These descendants are contra-educated to abhor the Constitution, the virtuous and valorous founding of our country, and classical liberal principles found in values of the Enlightenment. They are perpetual children are without essential humanity; empty, ignorant, feckless, emotional, overactive, and under challenged.

Orange people bad, I guess.

Those orange people could be of any number of different races. They certainly aren't pale skins.

Rhode Island, though, is the state that had V-J as a state holiday until they wimped out and changed the name to Bay Day.

We have a teachable moment here—the Armed Forces were segregated in WW II. Thus, the lion’s share of the fighting was done by whitey. But no, these idiots want to erase any real history.

Total idioticy by an ignorant and arrogant generation.

And an act of hatred toward the WWII generation.

They couldn’t just paint over some of the white faces to make them look darker? Widen the nostrils? Show one dribbling a basketball? Or eating a watermelon? Why do they have demand the whole thing be removed rather than “touched up”?

[This whole “cancel culture” thing now is just a cover for things the Left has been trying to do for years. It is an outrage to say the least.]

You have the Code Talkers, and the 442nd Battalion of Japanese Soldiers, plenty of examples.

No matter how hard he tried Hitler couldn’t get rid of all those GIs. It took U of Rhode Island to wipe them out.
