Mulberry Harbors, Churchill’s idea.
Compare that in contrast to Biden’s $320M pier for terrorists that took months to build and fell apart on its own before it even went into service.

We planned and prepared for that for a couple of years and spent what would be billions in today's money to do it.

Not really apples to apples here.

Well, let's try and be respectful of the upcoming D-Day anniversary and leave present day politics out of it. It's a bit beneath even you.
The Mulberry lasted all of two weeks before it was destroyed by a storm. An impressive feat no less for a world that was at war.

80 years ago the USA valued efficiency, expertise, competence, integrity, excellence.

Now it's 'woke.'

We all see D Day with a mixed bag of emotions. It was the beginning of the end of a Third Reich that no honorable person condones or sees as anything other than a vicious, genocidal regime and a stain on all that is good and honorable.

But it came at such a terrible cost in blood and treasure that the reasonable wonder if something different might have been better. But we can't change history. At least we cannot do so honestly or honorably. But we can learn from it.

I shudder to think that if those brave soldiers who stormed Normandy had been commanded by the current 'woke' administration how much less effective we would have been. And it is unlikely we would have brought Germany to unconditional surrender. And the world would be a much different place now.

FDR banned blacks from combat duty. FDR soaked Americans to pay for his war. Really soaked them. Today we are not nearly as close to the FDR soaking. FDR due to war got saved from the Depression lasting longer. D Day was much better planned out. Also then the Chiefs of Staff had combat duty responsibility. This was taken from them at the end of WW2 so apparently somebody was not happy.
 
Of course

All the libs at Lake Woebegone tell us they are above average
Calling Democrats liberals is like calling women who make money from sex stars. It totally misrepresents Democrats.

What field combat duty did Eisenhower have during WWII?
