The world is still suffering today from the New World Order which was constructed upon the corpses of the many millions who died in those closely-related genocides that were the two wars.

Oh man!  I can’t imagine how much more awful this post could be.

Exhibit 1: “The day we honor the poor chumps who have ‘died for our freedom.’ “

Exhibit 2: My Daddy, among countless others, were not chumps.  Daddy was a Marine Corps lance corporal and later sergeant who fought across the Pacific in WWII to stop the sadistic Japanese regime.  He suffered a wound that would not allow him ever again to use his index finger for shooting and other complex activity; he had to use his middle finger.  He was a marksman: which in the USMC is achieved from expert, to sharpshooter, to marksman. (He taught me in grammar school, but I did not have his talent.  It is something I would like to achieve in my retirement, among many other things.)

Exhibit 3: “We do not intend that in any way as an insult to our vets.”  Of course it is insulting.  “We” can’t crawfish out of this.  No jury or judge would buy it.  The writer would lose his case immediately.  Only a little closing argument would seal the author’s fate.

Exhibit 4: “It all began with the inexplicable and total surrender of 11-11-18.”  Explicable.  We Americans (including Patton, MacArthur, and Marines in part) forced the total surrender.  The author needs to study military history.  And President Wilson, a big liberal, did not want the stupid terms of the surrender; it was his greatest effort as President.  So we must leave America out of the total surrender discussion.  And let’s not forget we Americans suffered far fewer deaths than our allies who suffered millions of deaths.  Can anyone blame them for vengeance? Misguided but no.  Germany was lucky our allies did not do what the Soviets did as they invaded parts of Germany and its allies during WWII.  Imagine the worst possible vengeance: nothing close to what the allies inflicted on Germany after WWI.  For example, read the Last Battle by the superb British author Cornelius Ryan, a WWII veteran.  He also authored the magnificent book A Bridge Too Far.

Exhibit 5: The movie King Rat. It is a grueling (yet tearful) movie about how the Japanese treated British and Americans in WWII.  It was authored by James Clavell (a naturalized American), well known from screenplays for The Great Escape and To Sir-With Love and as the author of Shogun, for example.  Clavell was captured and survived a Japanese POW camp.

Exhibit 6: My Daddy told me about one (of I am sure many) atrocities by the Japanese.  An American Marine was tied up and his genitals were stuffed into his mouth.  So we can only imagine how our “chumps” treated the Japanese.  Daddy never mentioned what he did or witnessed.  My brother, a Vietnam PTSD victim, contends Daddy had PTSD.

Exhibit 7: “Unfortunately for Germany, Europe, and the whole world, Germany’s victory in 1940 was short-lived.”  This is a grotesque statement unworthy of this Website.  People my age, born in the 1950s need no explanation, but I must endure to explain.  The Nazis were utterly evil murderers.  Sure some were members in name only.  But the rest were evil.  Were Eisenhower, Patton, and the countless other witnesses liars?  No.  The Nuremburg trials proved this.  The many videos also show it.  The jackass admits genocide though he is not specific.  Supposedly he means non-Jewish victims because of his proposition that the German victory of 1940 was short-lived.
