9/11 Revisionsists

2006-03-01T21:29:04-04:00

I want you guys to read this --- this is sort of an unofficial call-to-arms.

Pinch (VF-14) made a post on his blog about some "9/11 didn't happen" idiot (what he terms as a "moonbat" --- nice). Blogitude picked up on it, and the comments are flying.

The above link points out both posts, and Instapich links to the original moron's article.

Have at it --- this is ridiculous. There's a flamewar afoot that *SHOULD* be commented about.

A Day Which Will Live in Infamy

"It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived."
--- George S. Patton

Thumbs-up for Pinch.

Sixty-four years ago, today, President Roosevelt stood before Congress pleading for a Declaration of a State of War against Japan. The reason was simple: in a single day, December 7th, 1941, Japan had mobilized and attacked Malaya, Hong Kong, Guam, the Phillipines, Wake and Midway Islands, and, certainly not least, Pearl Harbor. Though we watched the Western Pacific with interest, it seemed improbable that anything should happen in Hawaii.

Thus was our entrance into World War II, on December 8th, 1941. On December 11th, 1941, War was declared against Germany and Italy after they had declared against us earlier in the day.

There aren't many veterans left from that war, the youngest being eighty years old, but there are still a few you can find who are more than happy to share their stories. Those stories, in their words, certainly mean a lot more than the watered-down accounts in most history books.

Veteran's Day 2005

2005-11-11T11:23:49-04:00

Sam Kelter over at blogitude.com wrote a great little piece for this Veteran's Day:

I read an interesting article by the father of a Marine on-leave, who relayed the sentiments of his son:
[According to said Marine] morale among our guys is very high. They not only believe they are winning, but that they are winning decisively. They are stunned and dismayed by what they see in the American press, whom they almost universally view as against them. The embedded reporters are despised and distrusted. They are inflicting casualties at a rate of 20-1 and then see shit like "Are we losing in Iraq" on TV and the print media.
Today's the day that we're supposed to be thinking about all of our Veterans, and about those who are currently deployed. That speaks volumes. And you can't argue with it. For all your sacrifices, guys and gals from past to present, I, for one, Salute you. Thanks for being there and doing what needs to be done.

Rest assured, we share the same sentiments. Thanks for being there, and our sympathies to those families who've lost loved ones.
