GETTING CLOSE TO THE ANNIVERSARY OF D-DAY, AND THE IMAGES START CREEPING BACK INTO MY BRAIN, ALONG WITH SADNESS FOR THE MEN THAT DIDN’T MAKE IT OFF OF THAT BEACH ALIVE.
I was born in 1941, a number of men in my family participated in WW2, one of them didn’t make it back home, killed by an Italian sniper on the last day of the war. He was a medic, which makes it even more disturbing. When the war ended, I was old enough to understand the impact, I remember the anguish of my aunt and uncle, and my cousin’s widow. I remember the sadness that permeated my family. Think about how many thousands of times that scenario was repeated across the United States. I also remember the ones that did make it home missing arms and legs and suffering other horrific injuries.
I must have seen the photos and movies of those brave young soldiers aboard the landing crafts, just moments away from death hundreds of times. Those images are forever burned into my brain. When I was younger, the images didn’t affect me the way they do now. That’s why old men don’t make good soldiers. Those young men in those boats were in every sense of the phrase; “cannon fodder”. The United States Army knew a large percentage of those young men would never make it off of that beach alive, but through sheer numbers, would overcome the enemy. In reality it was very similar to the battle strategy of the Civil War, when large numbers of men charged each other out it the open and killed each other until one or the other side prevailed. The point I am making is, that in warfare, human beings are just as expendable as machines, in fact they are no different at all, in the eyes of the government.
I’m no military strategist, not even close. But was it really necessary to storm the beaches at Normandy and suffer the tremendous loss of life? The German gun emplacements would not be able to withstand the pounding of big naval guns for an extended period of time. Big guns and big bombs dropped from aircraft for a longer period of time makes on hell of a lot more sense than just throwing human beings at it. I would really like to hear a military expert explain why a beach invasion was a good idea. What was the rush, the war had already been grinding on for over three years.
THE SWEETNESS OF VICTORY SOON FADED
World peace was very short lived before our soldiers were back at war in Korea. 75 million human beings perished in WW2, and the death and suffering was forgotten in a mere five years. We wiped out the Nazis and Fascists and made room for the Communists. But look at the bright side, we only lost 36,000 more soldiers in Korea. As a benefit, south Korea is free, and you are now driving cheap Hyundais and Kias, and the hermit Kingdom is building ICBMs.
Fast forward two years to 1955, the USA just can’t get enough of the wonderful war stuff. I guess they figured they needed to kill off more young Americans and spend more tax dollars on war materials. So, they jumped right into the Vietnam war. But this one lasted way longer than WW2, it went on until November 1975. We were getting better at this war stuff, or our enemies were getting weaker, we only lost 58,220 soldiers over 20 years.
A quick tally here, the USA blew through 765, 506 living human beings dressed in battle gear from 1941 to 1975. That totals 22,515 men per year over a 34 year period. From 1941 to 1975 or 34 years, America was only at peace seven years. In my brain, that just doesn’t make sense. This sounds a bit sinister to me. It also brings me back to my point about how the government actually views its citizens.
But hey, let’s look at this even closer including the current time period. From 1941 to 2021 when the war in Afghanistan ended, eighty years had passed. Out of those eighty years America was free from military conflicts a mere 22 years, or about 27% of that time. It only took three years for the war mongers to start putting their eyes on Ukraine, and a proxy war with Russia. There is something very wrong going on. You probably didn’t notice any of this though, because we have been occupied with all of the racial and gender bullshit keeping your eyes off the ball.
I just had a crazy thought pass through my brain. Have you noticed that a huge percentage of the male illegal aliens are military age? Do you think the US may be restocking its supply of military age men for their next big war? How do you think that is going to go down when they start rounding up those guys and putting them in uniforms? Considering what the US Government has done in the past 40 years I don’t think it would be too farfetched. Wouldn’t that be sorta like hunting animals with bait. Lure them in and then kill ’em?
I have always been eager to pledge allegiance to “Old Glory”, and the homeland. Lately, I am beginning to wonder exactly what that means. It doesn’t mean what it did when I was twenty years old. The lame ass politicians have taken this country in a whole different direction than what our founding Fathers imagined. It’s getting harder and harder to recognize the USA. Right is wrong, and wrong is right. Women’s rights are getting stripped away in front of our eyes. Mothers are now called “birthing people”. The entire family structure is under attack. Men are berated if they appear or act too masculine. Police officers are being slaughtered while doing their jobs. Children are being sexualized by our public school system. Hard core pornography is in your child’s hands, on demand, thanks to cell phones. White kids are being taught they are inherently evil because of their skin color, black and brown kids are being taught white people are evil. Schools are teaching our children the USA is an evil nation, that it is stolen land. Christianity is under attack by our own government, which was founded by Christians, and those same Christians guaranteed a person was free to worship as they please. The justice system has been turned wrong side out by leftist judges. If you get a fair trial as a white, straight Christian, you should consider yourself very lucky.
So, as you read the previous paragraph, ask yourself, is this what 3/4 of a million soldiers died for? Nope. Those soldiers died for the USA as it once was, and the hope of its continued greatness. How many young men and women are going to be willing to volunteer for the USA as it is today? It’s already happening. Armed service recruiters are finding it harder to find volunteers. Is it going to get worse? We will see. The military fell short more than 41,000 people in 2023. The Defense Dept. said 57% of young Americans surveyed, stated concern that their lives would be forever damaged from PTSD and homelessness.
In my opinion, what we are seeing is the creeping patriotic destruction caused by endless wars. People are just getting sick and tired of war after war. It is taking a measurable toll on Americans. If we aren’t worried about having to serve in the military, we are worried about a war coming to us. We are worried about being attacked by long range nuclear weapons. We are worried about being killed in a terrorist attack. We are worried about how many of our enemies have crossed the southern border with death and destruction planned for the future.
Folks, it didn’t have to be this way. Our political leaders have become weak and greedy. They allowed the American Dream to be sold to the highest bidders. We have been defeated from within by lust and greed. I certainly hope this all turns around in the future, and America is healed, and rises once again to its former greatness. However, for this to happen, the left must be defeated, because they nurture evil.
I’m truly sorry if you need anti-depressants after reading this article, but I feel compelled to be a town crier, to take your attention away from the man-made crisis, created to divert your attention away from the truth. Stay free by staying alert. Do not trust authority it can be very dangerous to your freedoms.
