D-Day - What If the Greatest Generation were stuck with our generation's media?
Blackfive ^ | 6/5/07

Posted on 06/06/2007 1:10:06 PM PDT by bnelson44

The Combat Report put this video together to demonstrate what would happen if we saddled the greatest generation with our generation's media

As an antidote, go check out Mary Katherine Ham's post for D-Day. She honors one of my personal heroes, Major Dick Winters, and others with links and videos.

Speaking of Dick Winters, here's the "Band of Brothers" Day of Days video of Easy Company's Airborne Assault into France.

We’d all be learning Japanese and German. Today’s media is a disgrace. They spend all their time decrying America and talking up socialism.

Sickening the way the NYTs and WaPo kiss Obama and Hillary’s butts.

D-Day - What If the Greatest Generation were stuck with our generation's media?

We will be living in a new Dark Age. We will speaking German, Japanese, and Italian the language of our masters. We will be serving our Nazi and Fascist masters in slave labor camps.

The headline for D-Day June 6,1944 by todays media would read: “Many German civilians put in harms way by our invading troops”.....

I, for one, welcome our new Japanese overlords.

That would be today's media.

I have an anthology book of writers from WWI to WWII called This Generation. In the beginning is a brief history of that time period for the United States and Great Britain. As I read the way the author of the preface denounced communism it could have been written by someone who was a Freeper. Then, as he described the elitist opposing party I realized the author was a Democrat.

I think we’d be speaking Russian. If the US and GB folded in Europe and as a result Germany and Russia would have become the world’s two biggest superpowers, the Soviets and Germans probably would have fought a real WWWIII instead of a Cold War and Russia probably would have won.

Of course, don’t forget how the media would have reported the “setbacks” in the Pacific - Iwo Jima, Okinawa, Tarawa, et al. However, had we folded in the Pacific, I don’t think Japan would have emerged as a superpower like Germany would have because Japan, unlike Germany and Russia, probably would have not been able to develop Atomic weapons. I think Mother Russia would have eventually done Japan in before the hypothetical WWIII with Germany anyway.

Chris Matthews and Katie Couric were lawfully tried and executed for collusion with the enemy during a time of war.

Pornographic images of children obtained from Mathews personal hard drive further resulted in a nationwide sting of ACLU lawyers.

Pedro Hernandez, labeled America’s last illegal alien was let off the bus at the Hunter Gate of the Mexican border fence. Authorities allowed him to keep his leaf blower.

On a brighter note the team of Limbaugh and Beck were voted America’s Premiere anchormen for the fourth straight year in a row.

I think today’s media would have supported the invasion, because invading Normandy helped their beloved Soviet Union.
