Just wanted to pay my respects and appreciation to the men of the US, British and Canadian invasion force that landed on Normandy 60 years ago to evict Hitler from France and start the process of liberating Europe....🙂

Most of the people who suffer and die in war are not the ones who create the war, nor are they the ones who profit from it. They are the ones who pay the ultimate price.

Lets discuss one war at a time, hats of for those who fought sixty years ago, most believed they were fighting for a just cause and sadly many paid with their life.
Originally posted by ScheelThis war on terror is no different than the war against Nazisim..they are parallel wars and thus deserve to be spoken of in the same breath....this is WW3 whether you or anybody else wants to admit it...I was only using the importance of WW2 in comparing the importance of WW3...being on the same level and such... 😉

they overreacted to the tune of 50,000,000 deaths.
this "war on terror" involves overreaction on a massively lesser scale.
i hope you want it to stay that way, or even better fizzle away - i fear that you want it to escalate.
