There isn't a single thing that comes out of this clown's mouth that isn't an insult. He 'conveniently' forgets just how many people signed up immediately upon hearing the news of the Pearl Harbor attack.
“There isn’t a single thing that comes out of this clown’s mouth that isn’t an insult.”
He learned from his god in the white mosque, who set just that tone for 8 years.
“He ‘conveniently’ forgets just how many people signed up immediately upon hearing the news of the Pearl Harbor attack.”
I don’t think he “conveniently forgot”. I think the concept of patriotism and voluntarily fighting for one’s country is completely foriegn to him.
Doubt there were many draftees in the Philippines, Wake Island, Corregidor, or even Pearl Harbor at the time, most were career Army or Navy, with some called up National Guard units and USNR. Not Draftees, but volunteer enlistees.
I wonder what percentage of WWII veterans were drafted and what percentage waited in lines to voluntarily enlist.
I had an uncle that was color blind. In order to enlist in the Navy after Pearl Harbor he took the enlistment exam with a friend who helped him memorize the color chart so that he could pass. He served on the USS Missouri when it was attacked by Japanese kamikaze pilots in battle of Okinawa and was still serving on the Missouri when the Japanese signed their surrender.
And the people that committed suicide because they were rejected when they tried to sign up!
My father-in-law went to enlist as soon as he heard about Pearl Harbor. He went to the nearest city to enlist and the line was so long down the street he decided to go back the next day; the next day he said it was the same. He finally got to enlist on day three. I heard many stories like this over the years.
