A controversial statue? Who said? That image is 75 years old and beloved by so many generations. I think it is some Commie who has a problem with this! lol

That statue is also adjacent to the USS Midway museum in San Diego.

Iconic photograph, pop art statue. I thought it was a bit on the kitschy side of the scale.

These low life communist pigs will never know honor,courage and pride in a concept called America. I can only dream of the thrill and relief that people would feel after winning a war that almost ended our civilization. Now we are at the beginning of having to rid ourselves of an even greater threat to America. The enemy within.

Very lifelike.
Looks somewhat like a very small statue of a little man. A sailor and a nurse seem to have decided to make out next to the little statue.

I saw the same statue at the British Portsmouth Naval Yard last year.

Everything’s “controversial” if the Left says so. 80% of Americans can love Mt. Rushmore with another 15% being apathetic about it, but as long as a few whiny white liberals are out there complaining, the mainstream media will depict it as half-vs.-half struggle.

Scumbag community organizers, communists, and Democrats in general can go pound sand.

Saw this Statue many times in San Diego as it was between the USS Midway and a seafood restaurant we frequented.
I always thought it was a little cheesy but never offensive.

It will be back with a vengeance after the election, no matter who wins.

>> ... kissing Greta Zimmer Friedman... in an interview decades after the famous encounter, Friedman said it wasnt her choice to be kissed.
Hmmmmm ... 15 year old Jewish girl from Austria. Escapes. Parents killed in the concentration camps. Marries a nice Jewish boy - a doctor. A veteran to boot. Lives free the rest of her life as an American. Buried at Arlington.
“wasnt her choice to be kissed”
Care to take bets as to how many questions it took a left wing reporter to get that response? (Probably ignored were answers like “we were all just caught up in celebrating”, “he was with his girlfriend; this was just a spur of the moment thing”, “We both laughed and smiled; never saw him again”.)
