Especially the part how our celebrations shortchanges the Soviet Union's contribution

[Militiaman7]

What do you expect from a professor at Yale. Greenburg is SCUM.

[BallyBill]

Hey MSNBC we need more Abu Grab!! We can't get enough of that. Heck with this old WWII stuff. Most is in B/W anyway.

[ItsOurTimeNow]

I actually took a Sky News poll last night that was asking similar questions.

Sick.

But, not surprising, given the recent bent of the Left to revise all history.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

I would hope that the Soviet Union's teaching of history would give them the nod. Wouldn't upset me one bit if they didn't mention our part in WW II. What's wrong with morons who write articles like this?

[driftless]

To be honest yes, the Soviet Union did bear the greater cost of defeating Hitler taking into account numbers killed and battles fought. Hitler never had less than two thirds of his forces fighting the Soviets. But given that, and not forgetting Stalin's cynical non-aggression pact with his little brother in evil Hitler, without the support of the GB and the US, the Reds probably would have lost. And the successful invasion made sure that Stalin did not overrun mainland Europe as he certainly would have liked to do.

Greenberg does have one salient point in his ridiculous smearing of soldiers who insured his right to criticize them. The soldiers, airmen, and sailors who fought in the Pacific deserve recognition too. People forget that, unlike the Soviets, we fought on more than one front. The creation of the monster machine that was the U.S. military by the end of the war was basically created in only three and one-half years. In that time two formidable enemies had to be defeated. And we did it. Even anti-military types like Greenberg cannot take that away from us.

Most notoriously, the Smithsonian Institution's planned exhibit about the dropping of the atom bomb ran afoul of the American Legion and like-minded groups because it dared consider the dark side of the decision; save for the showcasing of a single airplane, the show was scuttled.

I remember reading about this PC manure when it happened. Some possibly liberal Clymer Smithsonian museum manager said about downplaying the exhibit "it's not the job of the Smithsonian to showcase America at it's best." Turns out he was 100% wrong. It's in the museum's charter.

Siege of Normandy? Siege of Baghdad? uh...

[First_Salute]

Pack up that man's suitcase and ship him C.O.D., stamped URGENT!, to the terrorists who cut off Nick Berg's head, where we may be mezmerized by Greenberg's art of using "the dialog" and his vast left wing nut grasp of "the literature" to negotiate and make the trouble go away "by peaceful measures."

Better yet, let Greenberg offer up onto the bargaining table, all his possessions and the possessions (including live bodies) of his "like-minded" axis of Marxist-Leninism.

Surely he will feel right at home, and the beheaders will make him right at home.

[farmer18th]

The older I get, the simpler it gets. Life is a battle of good versus evil. This professor is evil, one of the bad seed, a stinking weed ready for the fire.

[OldFriend]

Well, this jackass can interview OJ instead of our revered heroes.

[BlazingArizona]

Can any of you imagine Peter Jennings being embedded at Iwo Jima?

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Elsewhere, we see a vaunting of military over civilian values, from the copious references to the president as the "commander in chief" to the demand heard during the Bush-Gore recount that bad ballots cast by soldiers, but not by other Floridians, should count in the final tally.

The "disenfranchisement" of Florida voters was disproved in court having found no one who could really prove that they were. It was just a "feeling", but they wasted taxpayers dollars finding out what we already knew.

Since libs had their heads up each other's rectums at that time, the shameful Democrat elimination of military absentee votes is one of the best illustrations of why we need major legal reforms in this country.

The loopholes the Dems used, but failed in the end, against our servicemen to throw out their votes apply to almost no other voters.

D-Day OD: Why World War II nostalgia has gone too far (Centtople barf alert!)
MSNBC ^ | 6/4/04 | David Greenberg

Dear Mr. Greenberg,
on behalf of some old men of The 45th Infantry Division that I knew when I was a child...
let me apologize for their littering Europe while taking the "grand walking tour"
and busting open the gates of some concentration camps.

Oh heck, who am I kidding?
We Americans are hopeless suckers and we'd do the same thing bleeding and liberating
thing again.
I guess it's in the DNA.

She does look offended, doesn't she?

[dougherty]

I didn't click the link, the excerpt was sickening enough. These leftists really hate the military, no matter which war or enemy they fight. To whine over the D-Day and WWII anniversaries says a lot about this POS leftist. *spit*

[Dawgreg]

I don't think I'll click for full column. I've seen enough. Sad thing is, there are so many people like that jack-ass who aren't worth reading or even listening to. Losers!

[spodefly]

I sent him a nice friendly email congratulating him on his recent submission to MSNBC.
