The fellow who proposed it in the first place seems to gone into a swoon after reading "Ba Ba Black Sheep". I doubt he could name two USMC squadron CO's from WW2--and I doubt the chronically enraged among us could name any that weren't also autobiographical fighter aces.
Yes...*student* leaders. In other words, "trainees". They are not yet mature enough, nor experienced enough, to be trusted with *real* responsibilities and issues.
Yep...just look at all those "danged right-wingers" who in the past week or so, were marching the streets, flying Mexican and Cuban flags, chanting anti-American outbursts over immigration policy.
Ironic, that the current Administration is labled "right wing", when as far as domestic policy is concerned, it has "out Liberaled" most of the Left.
Isn't a memorial *supposed* to generate national attention?
My dad was there at the liberation of Dachau. Perhaps one day we will see a diorama of that on display with all those all these immacuate German models. Or maybe a Japanese prison camp diorama. Maybe the railway car at Dachau piled with emaciated corpses, with US troops rescuing those few actually alive in the pile of bodies. Those troops were heroes also. Not against german models, of course, but modeling normally only preserves a sanitized version of history. I always fear what I might do if someone denies the holocaust in my presence. Guess I am getting old also.
my dad met my mom in the death camp outside linz. most of her family was killed for the crime of being polish. she was sold to an austrian farmer as a slave, but he raised her like his daughters. she had followed the combat troops to the camp to look for her family. the only survivors were
2 sisters sold as slaves, too. her parents and 6 sibs were gassed the day they got there. i had a history class with a young snot who denied the holocaust. i showed him some artifacts and first hand accounts and made him beleive. i did have the urge to slap him silly.
"The media"?!?
Wow. That's some quality KoolAid. Which right-wing talk radio show did you hear that "fact" from?
