That's funny. I don't feel exploited. I didn't fight in WW II for

monuments or
parades. Pity the poor ******* who has to fight in a war he didn't

belive in.

Yes, it's probably more clear to say the politicians are using the
memory of WWII and its vets to exploit the rest of us.

But D-Day was unneeded. The US should have let the National
Socialists and the Communist Socialists fight each other to the
death....then no Cold War and looming bankruptcy of the US.


Certainly the USSR would have been no threat to the USA when it owned all of
Europe and the Middle East. would it?

and without an ability to learn on someone elses real estate what really
worked in mobile warfare and what didn't, I'm sure the US army would have
just gone swimmingly against late model T-34s, operated by people who
learned to use them defeating Germans. and that whole 'Bombers don't need
escorts' thing would have no doubt been a real success.

Also the US radar situation without the cavity magnetron could have been
interesting.

Yep, the Commies and the Nazis should have been left to fight it out...

I don't want anything from you or the state. The supporters of
taxation are the ones who want a free ride, on the money confiscated
from me.

Taxation is theft.


Show me a man who resents paying taxes and I'll show you a man looking for a
free ride.


Lisa K. Bernacchio is obviously a statist control-freak. Hitler's
biggest supporters were women, the "soccer-moms" of that time. They
wanted the security the fascists promised and seemed to provide for a
time. In the end they became rape victims of Russian soldiers, and
deservedly so.

All politicians are crooks and all police are punks with badges.

Not true. Generally, the supporters of a tax are those who benefit from
that tax (or program that is funded by the tax). Those may be the people
that also pay the tax, but can include those that do not pay the tax.

WW II in Westeren Europe began on D-day Before that it was just a load of
inefffective feints

Tou'll have to ask teh French, Belgians, Dutch, Danes, adn Norweigians
about that.


Don't forget the Italians.


Well, you _could_ make a case for the Italian invasion of France,
their slight participation in the Battle of Britain (What was it,
something like 3 or so raids), and their invasion of Greece being
ineffective, but they were hardly feints.


I was more thinking of how a veteran of Monte Cassino would react to
being told that it was "a feint".

Also, pretty much every Italian south of the Gothic Line was an
ex-fascist by D-Day, which isn't a bad achievement.
