[@TheWhoamaters]

What about the soldiers who fought in the rest of that war, not to mention Korea, and many other wars that came later? I know many of those wars like Vietnam and the Gulf were never supposed to be fought, but that doesn't make the individuals any less worthy. It just puts more against the foolish politicians. And what about the survivors of the war?

[@TheRealOtakuEdits]

I think he means "some of the greatest heroes," though, his statement is still correct.

[@dustyflair]

Arthfael, a lot more was on the line..we were marching into certain death...but we didnt stop!

[@TheWhoamaters]

Rick Fountain I'm just saying a soldier who fights for his homeland is risking just as much. And if you just want to talk about that war specifically, there was around a year of fighting after Operation Overlord, they risked just as much, and just as much was on the line. So saying the greatest heroes is very false. The rest of them are just as worthy

[@TheWhoamaters]

They are all great heroes

Someday, probably in our lifetime, a speech like this will be delivered to the current generation of American patriots. Words that will inspire and encourage young men and women to, once again, battle against the enemies of freedom and liberty. But the battles won’t be fought across the ocean. They will be fought in places with names like, “Portland,” “Seattle,” “Chicago,” “Minneapolis,” “Baltimore.”

[@ronniebishop2496]

Yes that’s true, but hopefully they will grow up like we did, there were over 700 riots between 1964 and 1973 when I was a teen. So this isn’t the first. Plus that place is full of fire and smoke right now as if Mother Nature is sick of them too.
