You Continue To Drive Americans Into Supporting Trump

Deep state, not China

FIFY

Saw this one in “politics” last night. Good one from an exciting new ImgFlipper.

Anyone who missed it and is interested in calling out CCP propaganda should go and upvote

Ironic accusation as this is actually the very first meme I ever made, on a different platform way back in 2012 inspired by one of my history courses

Crazy this is still one of the most popular meme templates

This guy’s hand gesture will tell you

Really? Japanese civilians deserved to be nuked for the actions of their leaders? After a war where they'd already been firebombed?

Funny, can't remember both those countries starting a war after ww2. Are you saying the US deserves to be nuked? Or just that it's okay when America does it?

Not guilty to the point little babies get fried to death.

Gee, I seem to recall lots of countries invading and raping and murdering and enslaving, like gee, Britain, France, the dutch, Spain, Mongolia. For literally centuries. Britain should love Germany and Japan. If not for the 1st 50 years of the 1900's, Britain would still be the world villians.

Germany was spared because the bomb wasn't ready.

How about the culture of death revolving around the refusal to take Jap prisoners by the majority of US military. Desmond Doss was threatened with death if he would ever treat a Japanese soldier. No racial element there! Of course, Pearl Harbor didn't help. I get the Japanese fought like hell, but 23 survivors out of a force of 250,000?

Sometimes you gotta do what you have to in war, but to sit pointing fingers and saying 'you deserve to die for your leaders' while your side incinerated basically undefended women and children in 1,000 plane raids, one at night and then in the day while it's being dealt with to create a firestorm is a little much.

Having said that, the rape of Nan King truly was horrible and a breakdown of military rule. But train men to kill, put them in unimaginable stress and fear and without a strong hand, many will snap and resort to base instinct.

Fair enough, both are still occupied, Germany more so.

Can't agree with that.

Well, you inferred military aggressors should be punished.

So, I'm still not going to say innocents should be killed because of the actions of others. I get it, people die all the time. It's the hypocrisy I find weird. From most, if not you. Seeing how I have nothing to go on but the Bible, so I'll put faith into God's judgement over man's.

Maybe not. I'm still fuzzy on your perception of religion, altho I agree with you far more than most Christians do. But the fact remains I can't think of a single Allied soldier charged with warcrimes. Including Soviet rapists and murderers, who rivalled what the Japanese did in Nan King in early '45. All I can think of was William Calley, Vietnam and before.

Man, I'm really myopic. But fair enough.

Yeah, I read the book.

Where am I excusing it? People should be held for warcrimes if they commit them, i'm just saying many have snapped under stress. Now, that was an example of one of the worst examples of soldiers going rogue in a frenzy of murder and rape.

Japanese bayonets, hari kari knife, flags, belt buckle, officers hat. Lots of American items too. Very nice collection. Im privileged to have it
My Dad has his Silver Star, earned it by taking out a Machine gun nest, never wounded, but we have a letter that was in his front pocket that had a bullet hole in the corner of the letter. Incredible.

my dad has a rare nambu riffle with the longer sights they used for shooting down air planes.the back site folds down.
most nambus are not rare, they also had the stocks cut and re doweled. GI's would cut them to fit in their nap sacks and fix them when they got home, some how my dad got a hold of this one intact..
He was in the Airborne but not till way after the war, 59-63.

My family member is an retired ATF agent and the son of a Philadelphia politician , he has 2 German Mauser riffles that are pristine. He said that when we won the war we took all the german fire arms and dissembled them, ground the iron cross and swastikas off them and put all the parts in barrels and shipped them to the usa. His are both intact with the serial numbers matching the receiver, barrels etc.He is going to donate them to aberdine proving grounds

My dad said he was given a Japanese pistol. Little auto fire type. Dangerous, as it was cheaply made and apparently if you pushed to hard on the slide with a round in it it would fire. Sold it to a military arms collector years ago.

I think they are worth a fortune now "nambu" also

I know the katana sword makes military collectors drool. Had it appraised around 10 years back. All the appraisers were taking pictures sending it to other collectors.
Appraiser said it is a one of a kind custom sword, most likely a gift or ceremonial sword awarded to an officer. Sometimes I gaze at it and wonder what stories it could tell

oh yes, they are super valuable. I watch "Pawn Stars" on history ch often. The signature is under the handle and they are either very valuable(minimum ) or Gold mines..

I would have it checked out, you could be sitting on a fortune. most of them are family heirlooms handed down centuries from samuri

Appraisal came to 10 k . Said at well advertised auction with Right people? Who knows? I would never sell it family history

yea I would keep it, make sure they take the handle off, thats where the real money lies, it could be worth way more than 10k but take it to a specialist
it could be very old

Sounds like cultural appropriation to me, libby.

Come now Sid, Somewhere in your family’s history someone must have served their Country.
Unless you’re a new arrival to America?

I was just throwing a lefty culture joke. Yeah, my granddad has stuff from his dad when he served as a medical officer in the trenches of WW1. A belt with a whole bunch of German divisional insignias or like, little metal badges, stitched into it with the Gott mit uns buckle on it.

You know, I get guns and grenades and that. Money, watches... but medals and samurai swords that had been in the family for generations should have been left or returned to family, when possible. Just my view, feel free to disagree.
