I assume you meant to respond to yourself which I agree… stop posting and get to working on tomorrow’s pizza my man.
You're either pro Democracy or you're not
You are intelligent enough to know we are constitutional republic, correct? Founding fathers did NOT want a democracy.
Democracy is two hungry wolves and a
lamb deciding what’s for dinner.
Well I’m obviously pro America. Best country ever to exist. I’d prefer to stop sending billions to a very corrupt Ukraine. We didn’t seem to care in 2014… why so passionate now? 🤔
I watched a few hours of the memorial programs on Utube. The best was a young french girl who toured all the sites. It was nice to see such respect and emotion from one so young, gives a guy hope. Shout out to my Brothers in the 2nd 75th Rangers and what did that day (s).
The French especially in that part of the country think very very highly of Americans and really appreciate the sacrifices young men made
A GLIDER group! I just saw a short segment on TV about glider groups in France. I'm not sure I was ever aware of them before. I definitely need to research this aspect of the war, it fascinates me.
I wasn’t aware of gliders until about five years ago. We flew several into France on D-Day.. that is just crazy how dangerous that was. Also learned that over 5000 Piper cubs were doing heavy lifting during the war. They were uniquely suited to flying quietly at low altitudes for a variety of important tasks. also very dangerous as they became detected
The operation started at Pegasus bridge with a british para glider unit. When we graduated airborne school we were allowed to where the glider patch as well as wings. I new of all that from watching " The longest day ".... "Hold until relieved "
Have you never watched “The Longest Day”? If you had, you would know about the gliders. One of the best movies about WWII, along with “Patton”.
Our nation is still the best thing out there. Bar none.
I love this country. I despise the idiots running it into the ground.
I would recommend you read the Longest Day by Cornelius Ryan. Maybe one of the finest books ever written about World War II.
I agree with that statement although the idiots are not all magically assembled in one political party and not the other.
There are some that are good and some that are in it for personal gain or media attention in both parties. It's probably just magnified now with social media. We haven't had real strong and or competent leadership in almost a decade now. By 28 we will be forced to vote younger and that HAS to be a step in the right direction. At least that is my hope. The people in the country have more in common than not....I hope.
