Title: 69th anniversary of D Day
Post by: Irongrip400 on June 06, 2013, 04:51:30 PM
Surprised there's not a thread about this. Anyway, anyone who knows someone who was there, thank them for me. That was when men were really men.

Takes a real man to ride a boat to France where a Nazi is going to shoot a minigun at you as soon as you get off the boat, how many getbiggers could achieve this feat?

None. Seriously. I wonder now if we are so rife with confidence that we would turn into cowards like the Italians if we were to be really put to the test now.

Seriously, I don't think that the U.S. forces would be that dumb these days. Maybe they absolutely had to go that route, but they set our boys up for the slaughter.

for us older cats on getbig, we all had a grandfather or great grandfather in WWII.   Today, it seems like it's just part of history for many people.

Yeah, they'd probably just launch some drones ::)

That shit is gay. Part of the battle is risking the same as your enemy, your life. No wonder people hate us.

My grandfather certainly did his part. R.I.P.

He also must have been a drill instuctor at some point as well. My father received his marine corps ring, and it stated that he was an instructor.

There is a difference. We were trying to come ashore on boats, while the germans were blanketing them with heavy machine gun fire, mortars, etc.... They were sitting ducks.

I think you're confusin that with World War One. We indisputably crushed everyone in the Second World War. And, it can be argued had we not entered the first, that may have ended differently as well. We beat Japan by ourselves dude.

"During World War II (1939-1945), the Battle of Normandy, which lasted from June 1944 to August 1944, resulted in the Allied liberation of Western Europe from Nazi Germany’s control. Codenamed Operation Overlord, the battle began on June 6, 1944, also known as D-Day, when some 156,000 American, British and Canadian forces landed on five beaches along a 50-mile stretch of the heavily fortified coast of France’s Normandy region. The invasion was one of the largest amphibious military assaults in history and required extensive planning. Prior to D-Day, the Allies conducted a large-scale deception campaign designed to mislead the Germans about the intended invasion target. By late August 1944, all of northern France had been liberated, and by the following spring the Allies had defeated the Germans. The Normandy landings have been called the beginning of the end of war in Europe."

Or, had they not spent six weeks putting down the puppet government in Yugoslav, they'd have beaten the Russian winter. Or, had Hitler not declared war on the US, he may have come out on top. Either way, America left its mark on that continent. Long gone are those days.

I knew a guy who was there, from the 101st.  The guy was like a real life Cotton Hill.

Makes me realize how worthless my generation is.

He's too busy benching 405 for sets of 15 at 185 body weight or whatever it was when he made that asinine claim years ago.  ::)

Now he'll bitch about how shitty America is before spamming us with 10 threads about the next Apple product he can't wait to buy.

If you watched the link I put up about a month ago, you'd know that they actually caught the Nazi's off guard, I believe it was a choice of 4 beaches, and they had code names for each one..had the Nazis known and been really prepared, D-Day would stand for Death-Day.

Not to take away from the soldiers who stormed the beaches. But if you were a german in one of those pillboxes and woke up and saw nothing but an enemy armada as far as your eyes could see it took a lot of balls to hold your post. Granted they were probably shot if they tried to run away but still.

You are wrong on this. The war in Vietnam was not executed properly. It was taken control of by the politicians and the generals where left to follow their bullshit orders. Had they been allowed to release the full brunt of the dogs of war, this shit would not have happened. Men where lost taking a hill, only to be ordered to fall back and let the enemy retake it unopposed.  This drove moral to an all time low. Can you emagine fighting a war like this. The enemy was strong yes, but nothing like the Japanese...........not even close. It was a whole different war.
