Had a professor at State, history professor during a Maymester, that I got into a verbal confrontation with because he said WWII wasn't the greatest generation and had done nothing to deserve that title. Instead, he claimed the greatest generation was the one that fought for desegregation during the Jim Crow era (basically saying WWII babies) were far greater because of their societal achievements.
This topic, like many on here, can be argued until the cows come home from multiple different vantage points. But the direction this one is heading is pure ludicrous. It is BECAUSE of those soldiers on the battlefields and women in the factories that everything else fell into place. It was a GENERATIONAL EFFORT by men, women, AND CHILDREN to assist in the war effort. Your point, DAWG61, may not be to "knock down" that generation...but you sure as hell are doing a fine job of attempting to cheapen their achievements. Which I do not find ok....especially on the day of remembrance, much less at any other point in time. Each generation has their claim to fame. Baby Boomers endured the cold war and Vietnam, millennials eat 17'n tide pods....whatever you want to call it. But do not cheapen the achievements of the men, women, and children who altered their lives for 4 years, a large portion even giving their lives, to ensure your *** could speak English and live in a free country.
Cool story snowflake but you're not from the WW2 generation.
No, I'm not, never claimed to be either.
I'm not the one trying to reward other people for their achievements when it is because of that WWII group that other generations were able to take that foundation and continue to build.
They were soldiers. They were told they were going in. They didn't have a choice. It's not like commanders are gonna call off D-day cause the soldiers said they didn't feel like going. Yes I know many of those guys voluntarily signed up for service. But I also think you're kind of shitting on our current military members, like they somehow lack the courage that those guys had. Times have changed, but I guarantee you countless men and women have behaved just as courageously in the wars since WWII. From Korea, Vietnam to our current blunders in the Middle East.
Why are you acting like being triggered is a bad thing? Trump is the most triggered human to ever walk the earth. He can't go an hour without being triggered and melting on Twitter
Now I did vote for trump. You probably did too. Let's embrace his lead and celebrate being triggered and melting on social media
As the saying goes ..."I learned it from you dad. I learned it by watching you..... Presidents who are triggered have citizens who are triggered"
Germany would never have been able to occupy America dude quit being so dramatic. They couldn't even occupy England when it was only 100 miles away or control North Africa.
Cool story bro.
Or maybe people like you can't go five minutes without overanalyzing everything he says and losing your sanity over it. Seriously, I bet you couldn't even spot a MAGA hat without needing a tranquilizer dart to the neck. Trump has every right to fire right back at these virtue signaling, angry hypocrites who literally lose sleep over Trump being president. It's nice actually having a president that doesn't let everyone walk all over him.
Trump has done nothing to deserve the hostility he gets and people like you can't even name one reason why you hate him beyond "he says mean things and is a meanie weanie" or "Russia, Russia, Russia" or "He's a Nazi racist dictator".
So you think POW are not heros? Since someone else brought up MAGA and so many people are in this thread blowing smoke about respecting the military. Lets talk about the respect Trump has given our military. You want me to name a reason I hate him?....Because he turned my party, the republican party, into a party of distrustful little snots.
For anyone to suggest they respect our military and then turn a blind eye to what Trump does and says shows such an amazing lack of self awareness.
But thank for publicly admitting you think POWs are not heroes. I now have no respect for you, but at least you admit it
I think that's probably true, but I am concerned that the officer ranks are being afflicted with the same kind of garbage mediocrities that think they are elite that have filled a lot of our other institutions, and they are just a generation behind as far as the rot goes. No first hand knowledge of it, just seeing some of the virtue signaling that takes place and knowing that the officer ranks that are advancing are coming through universities and political influences that have managed to ruin so many of our other institutions.
Oh God. Thanks for proving my point. Trump could save a box of kittens and a bunch of orphans from a blazing house fire and you drama queens would lose it because he didn't do it fast enough...or because he cancelled an interview to do so and wasn't being "transparent" enough. I'm sure you'd come up with something wildly blown out of proportion.
lol.
Nice deflection. Trump has a long list of disrespecting the military. You really should take your hypocritical *** out of this thread, because you clearly don't give a **** about our service members. At least not enough to be honest
Take your commie pink *** to Oxford, you military hating dumbass

Dang, could we try a little respect and self-awareness? This thread didn't deserve this. Just lock it already.
there was that time trump called the widow of a soldier, forgot the soldiers name, and told the wife he knew what he was signing up for.
Skipped visiting the Arlington Cemetery because it was raining.
So much respect!
I agree.
Further proving my point. Dude, go outside or something. Good Lord.
No you dont. You brought up liberals and MAGA. You wanted to turn this thread into a pro trump thread, because you got triggered.
Congrats on ruining something nice because you can't help but inject politics into stuff.
You are also a hypocrite
You were the one who started crying about how the WWII generation didn't raise their kids right and then brought Trump into this, chief. Talk about being a hypocrite.
Ah. Now it makes sense. You reading comprehension is poor and you are clearly not very smart if you think I said that the WWII generation didn't raise their kids right. I didn't. I also didn't bring trump into this. Someone else did. If you can't follow this thread, I shouldn't expect you to actually understand any of the big picture. Its clear all of this is over your head. You cant even read a one paragraph post without getting completely confused.
Bless your heart.
Your orange fuhrer is the queen of 6th grade insults. Mostly done through twitter. That's who you love and worship.
You know you have backed your opponent into a corner when they start dealing out 6th grade insults. Boy you're really establishing your credibility here for sure.
That's twice you changed the subject. Once because you have no idea how to defend Trumps disrespecting our military and now because you said something incorrect about me. That so funny. But not as funny as you trying a gotcha moment about me dealing out 6th grade insults.
Shall we discuss Trumps use of 6th grade insults? He's really really good at it. So by your logic, he cant get his fat *** out of that corner.
So are you going to change the subject again or do you want to discuss the merits of insulting people? Trump has some great ones
You need a hobby. Or to get laid. Seriously.
