Theodore's World

The numbers stated are way low. A lot of these cemeteries are WW 1. In that war alone America lost around, nobody knows for sure, 116,000 American Troops.

World War 2 Europe (not counting Africa or the Pacific) the numbers are around 162,000 KIA's. My God We lost 90,000 troops in a month(Dec. 44-Jan 45) in the Bulge.

Again it depends on the source. In total, two Wrold Wars we sacrificed almost 450,000 troops to liberate Europe in two World Wars. This Ovomit calls arrogance ?

For Obama to accuse the American People of being arrogant is stupidity and reckless. Supposedly, one of his White Uncles liberated a concentration camp in the western sector, but he too, was thrown under Obama's bus. Must be some arogance on the White side of Obama's family.

This morning I read, when Obama's trip to Europe comes around next month, the 65th anniversary of the Normandy (D-Day) Invasion, Obama plans to visit Dresden Germany and offer an apology to the Germans for the Second World War. This is tantamont to agreeing with the nutjob in Iran that the Halocaust didn't happen.

He plans on apologising for the attrocities committed by United States Troops, i.e., Ground Troops and the Army Air Corps during World War two, in Europe. In particular the fire bombing of Dresden, Hamburg and other German cities.

For someone whose resume' would fit on the back of a postage stamp, his life experience is almost non existant he has the gall to tell anyone. what should or should have been done, during a war that was, by our enemies, declared a total war. Hitler himself called for a Totallen Krieg, total war. Obama lives in a fantasy world and the last place he should be is in the White House.

This is probably the ONLY time you'll see me quote Colin Powell who was speaking to former Archbishop George Carey at a conference in Switzerland.

"We have gone forth from our shores repeatedly over the last hundred years and we’ve done this as recently as the last year in Afghanistan and put wonderful young men and women at risk, many of whom have lost their lives, and we have asked for nothing except enough ground to bury them in, and otherwise we have returned home to seek our own, you know, to seek our own lives in peace, to live our own lives in peace

I got this in an e-mail yesterday. Thanks for posting it WT. I agree with you guys Mark, Bob F. We have nothing to apologize for. The only apology's should be the Obamats apologizing for electing this creep.

I just wanted to share this video of Jimmy Weldon's “Old Glory” speech on this Memorial Day. As a contrast to Obomber.

Obama is a narcissist. He has no concept of sacrificing for others. His life is all Me Me Me. I do not expect him to ever apologise to America for being a phony.

Great post Chrissie, thank you.

Hey Obama, how about an apology for your party's abandonment of WWII, Korean and Vietnam American service members held in in obscurity in Communist POW camps in China, Russia, North Korea and North Vietnam? All of them were sacrificed by legislators like you and the other traitors in Congress, two in particular, you know who they are.
In fact, American soldiers have been left behind in every war. American soldiers have been left behind in vietnam, held as hostages to ensure that the U.S. fulfill a covert pledge to pay $4.5 billion in reparations to North Vietnam.
A letter dated 1 Feb.1973, released in 1977, from Nixon to the Prime Minister of North Viet Nam verifies the deal. However, Nixon, unable to obtain the funding he had secretly promised, defaulted on his commitment and abandoned the POWs. That would be you, Congress.

Specifically two of your 'hero' members. One hero, as chairman of the Select Senate Committee on POW-MIA Affairs, the other serving along with that hero on the same committee, the elder hero said some harsh words about those who accused the U.S. government of knowingly leaving POW's behind, hey he was set free, screw anyone else held captive.

In fact, the elder statesman called such people "the most craven, most cynical and most despicable human beings to ever run a scam." Hanoi got a clean bill of health with regard to credible claims that Vietnam was still holding U.S. prisoners of war.

Most onerous and offensive were the losses of the shadow warriors supporting US and Allied forces out of Thailand and Laos, lost, unacknowledged and abandoned by their countrymen, the CIA operatives and Air America.

Yes I am one of those craven, most cynical and most despicable human beings, I do not forget the MIA's or the POW's.

Mark, I agree, I thought the numbers total
would be a lot higher, much higher.

Oh my gosh another apologising tour, thanks
for the information. So he will be in Germany
and then Normandy and make a mess of this
trip too. grrrrrrr

Thank you Mark this was a special post
with the photos.

BobF., thanks for the quote.

I have found that sometimes even someone
we may not respect on so many things
might say something that makes a great
quote. I have saved a few from some
that I would not give the time of day
but gosh the quote I have by the person
is so awesome it is worth saving.

BobA., DITTO that big time.

MrHappy, thank is great, thank you
so much for the link and information
too. That was wonderful!!!

Tom, what a miserable life that would be, to
always have it be about self, me, me. I would get
bored. hahaaha Maybe that is why he dosen't seem
to have much of a personality. He is bored but in
love with himself. ife is exciting and a lot of that
is due to the wonders of knowing others that
make a difference in a person's life.

Jack, that was great, thank you.
