SkisNH Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 "On 6 June 1944 – 'D-Day' – Allied forces launched the largest amphibious invasion in the history of warfare. Codenamed Operation 'Overlord', the Allied landings on the beaches of Normandy marked the start of a long and costly campaign to liberate north-west Europe from Nazi occupation." All of our lives would be much different if it weren't for the sacrifice of America's greatest generation. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DriftBusta Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Incredible time in history, so much bravery and sacrifice. Growing up, a couple neighbors we had up the street, met during the invasion of France. One was an army private, and the other one was French resistance. They became close friends, the Frenchman came to America, and they built houses right next door to one another. I never knew any of this until one of their sons told the story years later. We can only wonder what the world would look like if the allies hadn't succeeded. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I don't think there is a thing in the world that any country could do to us that would bring men to the call of service to the country. I feel days like those are long gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They killed as many Germans as the Germans killed jews. For some reason it's only the Jews who were felt sorry for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats just a narrative that the left has been peddling, and i don't subscribe to it. Why would we feel sorry for the Germans? The Russians had good reason to hate the Germans. The whole world did. I don't have the % in front of me, but a huge portion of the Jewish population was wiped out in a genocidal way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My family lived through the war in Germany and survived what the Russians did to them. Many didn't. It's not a fucking narrative at all. So fuck you.

Many didn't. It's not a fucking narrative at all. So fuck you. I'm aware that all Germans were not nazis. But their country was ruled by them. I'm sorry for what your family went through, but the nazis killed 17 million people mostly Jews and Russians. Other statistics show that 27 million Russians died during the war. I don't know how many Germans died, but no one is defending loss of life, just understanding why the Russians did what they did.

First and foremost thank you to those that served and gave the ultimate sacrifice on this anniversary of D-Day. The pussification of our military is full go right now.

Honestly, with how our government has behaved the past several years, and what has now been exposed, I'm not sure I blame them. One of the guys in my golf leagues boy had both his lower legs blown off in Afghanistan, I can tell you he isn't too happy about our government these days.

Stalin stole all of the private land and killed alot of his own people after the war also. All of these wars should be a reminder that authoritarian govt can only give you this. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
