Well like the title says..75 years ago today, thousands made the ultimate sacrifice at Normandy.

And I find it sad that alot of people don't even know what D-day is any more, nor care. But every one should take a moment to thank the men who made the ultimate sacrifice and reflect upon things.
 
My grandpa was at Normandy. He valiantly machine-gunned many Americans but it just wasn't enough. *sigh*

People are too busy setting up Pride Parades; come back next month.
 
75 years ago the population was so much whiter. Hitler did nothing wrong. He was just trying to save us from this exact shit.
 
Got news for you...none of us would have wanted to live in a world where WWII didn't end with three unconditional surrenders.

Say, we defeated the Japanese but had to reach an armistice with the Nazis. Not good for us and for those who'd have to live under their rule.

Or we defeated the Nazis but had to reach an armistice with Japan, for whatever reason. Again, not good for us and for those consigned to Japanese rule.

Or the thing ends up like "The Man in the High Castle". Not good for us at all.

No, our freedom to post here was bought and paid for with the blood of millions, from all Allied countries.

Fuck. I feel so bad for not remembering D-Day today. It takes a lot of fucking courage to run out into enemy fire and into certain death in order to protect your allies from the actual threat of fascism. Unfortunately, I can't thank any of these men in person, but I'll definitely make time to remember what the cost of freedom is.

I don't think the Japanese surrendered unconditionally. They got to keep their fucking emperor.

The Japanese people were the victims of a very rapacious military industrial complex. The Japanese campaign was diven by entities like Mitsubishi and inspired by greed more than it was Imperialism in the traditional sense. Imagine huge corporate families getting in bed with crooked politicians You understand, I'm sure.

They could have all the emperors they want, as long as they remained cowed & cooperative. The Japanese spirit had to be broken at some point. It was inevitable - The Japanese Army was on a roll at this time & their navy had just kicked the shit out of Russia. Japanese leaders likely felt Godly, beyond reproach, fired with ethnic nationalism. They fucked up European whiteys! Nobody does that shit!

That hubris, matched with old money corporate greed, was dangerous as fuck. These guys used to launch airplanes outta submarines, ffs. They were next level AND cocky, so the US breaking their spirit was inevitable. Not enough room in the world for that shit.
 
Japan's road to war wasn't unanimous. There were several points in the lead up where things could have turned out differently. It was almost a comedy of errors at times.

John Toland's "The Rising Sun" was a great book.
