Bonnie, for you: "Generation Snowflake members "are genuinely distressed by ideas that run contrary to their worldview"; they are more likely than previous generations of students to report that they have mental health problems.[4] A UK Higher Education Policy Institute survey of university students in 2016 "found that 76% would ban speakers who had views that offended them, while half (48%) wanted universities to be declared safe spaces where debate can only take place within strict rules. This is coupled with a strong sense of entitlement."lisa2381
If this had happened today, im not so sure it would have turned out in our favor.rocksteadyReply tolisa2381
Uhhhh, sorry mate but Germany has been deciding our fate for the last 20 years infact theres an argument to sugest that Germany is having more of an impact on Europe today than it did back then and the only difference is a name change. Also if you have that low an opinion of we Brits today do you think that we would have been better off if Germany had won? and thats an honest question.DannyMayo
These were real men. To think what the average day man is like now....my god it's painful to compare the two.BretonNotBritonReply toRobert.R
Real men don't kill innocent civilians and don't bomb historic cities like in Brittany (Lorient, Saint-Nazaire, Saint-Malo), in Normandy (Saint-Lô, Le Havre, Caen, Falaise, Lisieux, etc) or like in Ile-de-France (Boulogne-Billancourt). 70,000 French civilians were murdered because of those useless British bombs...Robert.RReply toRobert.R
Collateral damage, many more would've died had they not acted. if not by British or American bombs, then by Russian bombing which as history has shown it, is very much indiscriminate. Have a bit of humility for god's sake, our government collaborated and betrayed their people and these brave men came from thousands of miles away to risk their lives and rescue us, we owe them our freedom..JPReply toRobert.R
@BretonNotBriton - Many Bretons are historically Britons (a term much misused by the MC media). But you are right, atrocities were committed on both sides and most of the civilians killed, died unnecessarily. The carpet bombing you refer to was however devised and largely carried out by the Americans not the British. St. Malo is an example. Churchill was apparently very opposed to these particular blitz tactics, but didn't have the last word. You won't find any pictures of the countless civilians (including children) blown to bits and maimed on those blitz bombing raids. "Victors" usually write the history books, or attempt to re-write it entirely - the EU and their friends corporate and otherwise, have been doing it for some time now. The DM is undoubtedly trying to please the yanks with this article.Kelly H.Reply toRobert.R
@BretonNotBritton - real men don't guillotine 1000's of innocent people just because they belonged to a noble and highly educated class, perhaps that's why France was dumbed down after the Terrors, because only the uneducated peasants were left to run the countryGeorge
I Am an American . My mother was English from London . The British where one of the first people to settle America . We have history together and are obligated to help one another.Mr. Pompous
442nd Combat Team, one of the most decorated units of WW11 most were "Nisei" first born of immigrant parents. 21 Medal of Honor awards and numerous unit citations.Thank you so, much for the sacrifices you made for your country.Franchie
I am living partly in Normandy (Calvados), not far from the D-Day Beaches: Pegasus Bridge, ¿Omaha¿ of course, ¿Gold¿, ¿Juno¿, ¿Sword¿, and the less known by the general public ¿Batterie de Merville¿. The raid by the Lt-Col Terence Otway, of the 6th British Airborne, is an epic and hair-rising story. I often go on these sites when the lightheaded (and ignorant for the most of them) holiday-makers have packed-up to travel back home, for these places are made for meditation. And I never miss to mention those great guys, the fighter pilots of this wonderful RAF during the Battle of England. Although largely outnumbered, they succeeded in holding back the Luftwaffe. Today, all of us, including myself as a Frenchman, we are indebted to them without exception, whatever the Flags. By the way many thanks to DM for these extraordinary photos and sorry for my rather mediocre English.FeddupReply toPazuzu1964
The US Army does not name regiments. They have a number. This guy belonged to 506th Parachute* Infantry Regiment (*hence 'Airborne') which was part of the 101st Airborne Division. Each Division has several regiments. Each regiment has several Battalions (1000 men) - in his case, 2nd Battalion - and each battalion has five companies (200 men). He was in E (Easy) Company.Uncle ChunkReply toPazuzu1964
The titles presented are a bit confusing I suppose - but its just one unit. Think of it as an address. He belongs to the 101st Division. That consisted of three regiments. (He's in the 506th RCT). Each Regiment consists of three battalions (1,2,3). The Battalions are lettered (A to M). (There's no formal J as it looked a bit too close to I on paper). Its the similar thing in the British Army. So think of it like an address. County, town, street, house and apartment. They're all the same thing- but gradations of detail.Benbkk
If you haven't seen Band of Brothers mini series do yourself a favour and buy it or download, it's absolutely amazing.Js
We should be grateful to our American allies for their heroism in the 2nd World War. Sure, they arrived a little late and Hollywood irritates us with its depictions of the conflict but the fact remains we would not have won without them and all the other countries whose soldiers and airmen fought alongside our military.LeFrenchReply toJs
You are grateful enough. They have military bases in your country, which means that you are not free. They can buy everything in your country (industrial giants included) while you can buy nothing. You are culturally invaded by them and they've created a poor clone of your culture that they sell around the world... through the Kardashians. You are grateful enough it seems... Don't be too grateful, it will itch your ass.LeFrenchReply toJs
The EU is dominated by the US behind closed doors and has been created by French agents of what will become the CIA. The CIA even declassified the salaries of Jean Monnet and Robert Schuman in 2001... check it out idiot. There is no influence from Germany in France or Europe. But you can feel the bad influence of the American wild capitalism in Europe. That's the big difference. Germany has been emasculated from 1945 to 1990. That's why they are not a problem. Plus, the gap between the GDP of France or Britain and German is about 700 billion euros, which is pretty much nothing for 20 million more people in their population. Keep being deluded man... meanwhile, I read books.dj
The allies won the war, people quit complaining bc they are just American pictures. The US needed France and Britain and they needed the US. Geez!! When WW3 breaks out I have a feeling it's every man for himself.arc air 84
My great grandad went to fight and was brought back home as he would be more use as a metalologist at Sheffield forgemasters.My great uncle joined the merchant Navy illegally under age so he could join the war.They were sunk several times but he miraculously survived.Brave men and boys.Bring back national serviceFrankie valli
Easy company! Band of brothers without a doubt the best TV series ever made. The episode where they discovered the camps was heartbreaking. Damien Lewis was spectacular.David SharpReply toFrankie valli
By far and away the best war series ever. The entire cast was perfect, I don't know what they could have done better. The episode that bothered me the most was Bastogne. The shelling was insane and if you've ever been that cold, you'd know. Really hard core men.Rollerball
The greatest generation. Their contribution and sacrifices must never be forgotten.joeblow
70 years ago 19 year old kids were hitting the beach in France. Now they cry like Shirley Temple if they have a bad WiFi connection.评论
