I never thought about it but I think the requirements to fight a war do not call for participation by saints? I don't understand your posts here. You liberals claim to despise hitler and Nazism. D day was the battle that turned the tide to accomplishing the destruction of the evils of Nazism . why muddy the waters on this by speaking to the character of those who vanquished that evil?
Nazism started out as Socialist and as it seems to always be the case, Socialism turns into a despotic regime that cares nothing about the people. Such is the nature of Socialism.

Xennial actually.
Doesn't suck at all.
Thanks for your concern friend.
You post
Nah. If you were born between 1985-2000 you are a millenial.
The Brown Shirts have seen a revival in America lately. Those who have no clue about history should look them up.

Welcome to Current Events.

I was born in 1954 and a lover of history ... especially the trends and currents of history.
I am aware of the Arian/Brownshirts/Nazis tendencies in the USA and the world.
I was more concerned with the modern day Brownshirts in the USA sweeping an Obama like figure into a despotic leader than I am of Trump. Trumps supporters are not blind followers like the Socialist movement in the USA and do not have the vigor to sweep edmocracy aside for a charismatic leader like Obama or someone in the new batch of Socialist politicians.
Consider AOC ... she is dogmatic and so sure her world view is the righteous path.
She scares me a whole lot more than Trump ... I think Pelosi understands this but can she be the bastion of American democracy or does an AOC-like Socialist leader supercede the 'broken and outdated' Constitutional type of government that she despises so much?

Words of Ronald Reagan. A guy who got out of WWII military service because of his eyesight supposedly was too poor but never had any trouble reading the lines his movie scripts or the political speeches written for him .

And of course we would have never let Pearl Harbor, The Holocaust The Blitz, Nazism or Hitler's decision to declare war on the US to happen I suppose. Perhaps we might have been able to do more than we did but at the time we were a bit tied up with the task of bringing the nation out of another Republican recession which in this case was the worst one in American history.

And Democrat presidents led us to victory including authorizing the use of atomic weapons in order to avoid a blood bath that according to estimates would cost as many as one million American lives. .

In what way ?

your blaming the World War on the market crash caused by a republican . really?
and the republican was also responsible for a world wide market crash?
you thought you would celebrate D day by questioning the morality and character of the army that fought facism? really
your revision of history during the start of world war 2 does not mention our policy of isolationism or direct provocation by japan at pearl harbor?

He was almost 31 when Pearl Harbor happened. Plenty of 30 something's got deferred because of their age and family responsibilities. The totality of his life is what matters, and he did great things for America.
