This neo-anti-communism of the 21st century reeks of skousenite and john birch and Heritage nonsense.
Discredited neo-con, projectionist nonsense: just a bunch of used up talking points.
A post filled with bloviation....not one specific nor rebuttal of facts that I provided.
I so very much appreciate the proof that you are a total windbag.
Is your name Maple Syrup? It should be, you sap.
Considering the Russians had suffered far worse than even the French, allowing them the glory of taking Berlin in East Germany had merits.
I am waiting for the silliness to emerge some think that the USA-Brit-Fr-German allies could have run the USSR out of eastern Europe, and that somehow it was all a communist plot that we did not.
I'm not so sure about the merits. Patton certainly believed he could take on the Russians... I don't think it would have been a good idea. But we still could have taken Berlin.

You are the oblvious blovine, my dear. You had nothing that we have not read before, that has been refuted over and over as significant, and just simple 20th century anti-communist reactionary wack wack stuff.
Bet you know who Europe had to thank for that.
From "FDR Goes To War," by Folsom and Folsom:
1. Roosevelt joined forces with Churchill and Stalin, but Roosevelt especially liked and trusted Stalin, whom he called Uncle Joe. Thus, when Churchill and various military leaders supported and Allied invasion of Central Europe- to stop the Russian advance- FDR listed to Stalin instead and insisted on as second front far to the west of Germany. Stalin is not an imperialist, Roosevelt insisted. P.304.
a. At Teheran and Yalta, Roosevelt trusted Stalin to grant free elections to Poland and Eastern Europe.
FDR understood who he was dealing with with Stalin
The problem was that "Uncle Joe" controlled Eastern Europe. It was not FDRs to give
It seems that your bias won't allow you to see the truth.
So taken with himself, he couldn't imagine that he was being outsmarted.
The major player in the Alger Hiss saga was fellow Communist, Whitaker Chambers. In his book, Witness, Chambers explains is disillusionment as follows. In 1938, he determined not only to break with the Communist Party, but to inform on the Party when he could. The reason was that he was informed that Stalin was making efforts to align with Hitler, in 1939, and from any human point of view, the pact was evil.
As Hitler marched into Poland, Chambers arranged a private meeting with Adolf Berle, President Roosevelts assistant Secy of State. Chambers detailed the Communist espionage network, naming at least two dozen Soviet spies in Roosevelts administration, including Alger Hiss.
Berle reported this to Roosevelt, who laughed, and told Berle to go f--- himself. (Arthur Herman, Joseph McCarthy: Reexaming the Life and Legacy of Americas Most Hated Senator, p. 60)
No action was taken, and in fact, Roosevelt promoted Hiss. Almost a decade later, Chambers was called before the HUAC and named Hiss as a Soviet agent. Hiss sued Chambers, at which time Chambers presented four notes in Alger Hiss's handwriting, sixty-five typewritten copies of State Department documents and five strips of microfilm, some of which contained photographs of State Department documents. The press came to call these the "Pumpkin Papers"(Whittaker Chambers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
And, of course, all doubt was removed in 1995, when the Venona Soviet cables were decrypted.
Open your eyes.
you are bloviating againIt is never a good sign when your response to being thrashed is to dip your toe into fibbing.

You miss the point.....accidentally?
2. Why in proximity to the anniversary of the Normandy invasion?
The use of the story is the attempt to besmirch the noble endeavors of the United States.

No, it's just that we Americans go around like we are the best of everything, and the rest of the world just thinks we are a bunch of ignorant bible thumping hayseeds with an inflated opinion of our own importance.
Reality check. America didn't win WWII, Russia did.
Yup. And the Soviet were very, very happy to get our Lend Lease. And if we had not gone to war with the Nazis, their atomic program may have won them the war with the Soviets.

War is war, and American GIs were soldiers in war: yes, atrocities occurred.
Our GIs still were angels compared to the demonic Nazis, and our GIs and Brits and French and allies liberated Europe from one of the greatest evils in history of mankind.
Did you think this OP was about the soldiers?
About human nature?
About war?
None of the above.
It is about the attack of the Leftists in the media on the reputation, the memory of the soldiers who freed Europe, and by extension, the nation.
It's about the sleazy America-haters who take the opportunity to turn a great moment in our history and drag it, and us, through the mud.
What you may not understand is that they have the right to say what they want on this day as much as you, dear. The moment of greatness outweighs the boos of the very small minority, who are far outside of our great American narrative mainstream.
You need more nuance, sophistication, balance, when it comes to our narrative.
Cherish the moment, the heroes, and ignore the naysayers. Most, if not all on the Board, probably never would have known about them.
"Never" is a big word, and the allies were worried enough that they kept going after the Nazi program.
The Soviets beat the Nazis with our help, and they eventually would have beat them without our help and would have dominated Europe.
