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....🙂

OK, I'll agree to that...thanks to them too. Little is conveyed about their participation(Poles, Czechs, Greeks, Australians,etc...), but that makes it no less important....hats off to them....😉

OK...I'll agree to that too, as MOST of the Germans were simply fighting for their country...as any good soldier would do... 🙂

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.

You're right...and if we don't win the war against the militant Islamists, we all will "pay the ultimate price"...unless, of course, you bow down before Allah and aknowledge Mohammad as his messenger...then, you may be allowed to drive depending on where you live, you might get to choose your husband, what color burkha you want to wear...well several colors to choose from: Black, black and black....😉

And then ... (drumroll) ... for no apparent reason we ended up where one in two threds in the debate forum seems to lead us.

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.

This 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... 😉

The way you're using this topic to push your own opinions on current events is disgusting to me.

the nazis had a disastrously poor country with unnecessary death and deprivation,
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.

Trying to steer away from politics...What about the Russians...hat off to them; they were the one's who lost 20 million people to as a result of the war. That is suffering for you, they won the war...
