You must realise your opening post included a dig at random people and it would get a bite from somewhere .

Even celebrating true heroes the thread gets hijacked by the political loons.
Ffs give your heads a shake with your pathetic point scoring.
Can only imagine the fear and what was going through their minds. Some just young boys. Most of us have a go a paint balling and feel the adrenaline.
Big difference comparing a bullet to a paint ball.
Never forgotten.

When you watch the start of 'Saving Private Ryan' it really hits home.
My mam tells me about hearing the news on the radio that day and the excitement when it was discussed in school. Was telling my daughter all about it this morning as it hadn't been mentioned in school, they usually do mind.
Incredible bravery, literally world changing, we wouldn't be having this discussion if things had been different.

My dad went in on Gold Beach with 9th DLI , landed about 9.30 , second wave . Fortunately not one of the hottest beaches once the armour took the odd beach emplacement out by mid morning . Still hairy enough and the subsequent inland fighting in the Bocage was worse once the German armour arrived especially around Lingevres, Tilley .
You cant make comparisons in bravery but I'm always minded of the lads in the Duplex drive tanks , launched a mile out with only a canvas skirt to support them in 4ft swell. Swamp that and your drown in the tank , no survivors .
And all the current fascists can f*ck off .

I'll raise you the birth of Abraham.
Given the carnage inflicted on the world as a result of the three major religions that have arisen from this bloke it's hard to think of many events that have ultimately shaped the world so much and continue to visit hate, death, and destruction on us to this very day with no cessation ever in sight.

My comment clearly rings true given those that like. WW2 was fought to defeat the forces of bigotry. That bigotry is rising again
If that gets a bite it says more about the biters
You liked a post complaining about "politics loons taking over this thread" when you yourself have posted these comments on this thread...
"It just proves it's another word which has been over used by the far left."
"The irony is if they were around today they would probably be called bigots etc by the pro noun brigade"
"So is today a good day to fly the flag then?"

Their were men of there time . I was lucky enough to meet many who fought in the 2nd WW as I in mid 70s . The different words they’re used to describe foreigns would be viewed as ultra racist by many in today’s society . Also their had a very wide vocabulary to describe men whose sexual preferences their classed as perverted .
To me there were a great generation , who weren’t frightened to speak their mind .

I aknowledged my mistake but look at how he worded the post using division. I was merely pointing out the fact the people he callsfar right today are not the nazis of yesterday but merely normal people as of those who fought in the war.
Liked by the bloke that posted post #2Even celebrating true heroes the thread gets hijacked by the political loons.

Don’t feed the trolls
The men on the beaches were attempting to liberate Europe from a totalitarian regime and were made up of followers of every aspect of the political landscape, united in a common cause.

When Americans fought for freedom - Robert Sargent's famous pic of his US comrades wading ashore that morning..
Sadly so many Canadians when they hear the word Juno think its simply an annaul music award show and not the name of a Normandy beach where so many countrymen died,.

He's quickly unliked it.
Maybe because I felt strongly about the first paragraph?
Anyway my point stands.
