Most Americans today if under age 50 probably aren’t even aware of what happened that day, thanks to the progressive failures and equal ignorance of today’s educators, historians, politicians, and journalists. But as day dawned on June 6, 1944, the eyes and ears, hearts and hopes of the world were on these brave young men . . .
Is there a next Great Generation? The augurs are not good.
We have a woke generation who manifestly hates America. We have organizations (BLM, Antifa) whose purpose is to destroy America. We have media that preaches only the much-exaggerated sins of America. We tolerate policies and lawlessness designed to “fundamentally change” the culture and majesty that is America. We have educators who vilify the founders and history of America. We have political leaders who want mimic the governments and practices of the enemies of America.

There will be a war in America very soon. It is going to be decided whether we win or lose before the war even starts.
That means EVIL will already be in FULL control, or we leave ourselves a chance to defeat all the EVIL.
Thx ...
No, the current crop coming up is a pathetic excuse for a human breathing air. Absolutely zero faith in them.
And it’s not the version with the actors all speaking English instead of their native languages.
It was actually “Antifa” that was against the US entering the War, until their beloved Soviet Union was invaded in 1941. Up to that point that just thought it was another war between the Upper Classes.
The woke generation will wake up. Consider. Joe’s ventriloquist is not a moron. He knows that White Supremacy is barely a thing in America in this day and age. But the Wok-eys intend to provoke it. Burn, Loot, Murder long enough, and there will be a backlash, and they want that backlash to be White Supremacy revived.
It’s an idiotic wager, but one that they’re making. What if whites, blacks, Asians, etc., put their heads together and refuse to play along. Instead of the Klan, they get a citizen’s vigilance committee that includes everybody, black, white, yellow, red, brown, Martians and Venusian sentient vapor clouds. And they take no prisoners, except to torture information out of them and then act on it.
No rule of law, no rules, except use your head and don’t dance to their tune. Everyone’s threatened, everyone pulls together.
Americans today and America could not prosecute world war 2 if it was today. I mean this snowflake nation took a header over an a virus that wiped out a staggering 1/20th of 1 percent of the world population. And JAG lawyers would be second guessing every single bomb we dropped on the Germans - was it or was it not a war crime? Shall we prosecute Patton?
Dad was a Hump pilot in the China-Burma-India Campaign.
A friend, we joked about being in born in a plane in flight was with the Flying Tigers before we officially declared war on Japan.
When that happened he became a major flying over the hump.
After the war, he stayed in the AF and became the #3 pilot in the Berlin Airlift.
Another friend at the age of 22 became a pilot for one our bombers flying over Germany. He and part of his crew survived the magical 25 missions. He and they came home to sell war bonds until the war was over. He died within the last year.
Some few years ago while working in a nursing home in NJ I met “Ernie’’. Ernie was a WW2 vet and always wore a cap bearing the emblem of the 82nd Airborne.
Ernie told me that in those early morning hours of June 6, 1944 his plane was hit by anti-aircraft fire and began to go down almost immediately. Only Ernie and three other men made it out of the plane.
Ernie told me he could see that one guy’s chute didn’t open.
“Poor bastard’’ is about all Ernie told me of that night.
