...hierarchical, decisions flow down. In contrast after Africa Eisenhower initiated a leadership program from the bottom up. It paid off in Normandy. Scattered troops hooked up and self organized. The Russians adapted. The Japanese should have prevailed at Guadalcanal but did not. For...

...talking about. Few in Parliament, or GB for that matter, care what those in France think beyond whether to change the names of Brittany and Normandy. British folk want to leave the CM because of Germans pushing CM on immigration into a declining european workforce. Rather be racist than...

...counterattack against clean energy is collapsing | Salon.com Mainly from natural gas and renewable energy. Solar roadway experiment in Normandy, France, has failed - Curbed - "After nearly three years of use, Normandy’s photovoltaic highway is delivering disappointing results" I am not one...

...just about as high as it's ever been. Yesterday, after a couple of months which included Trump doing his trash talk on the grounds of the Normandy cemetery, Trump's remembrance of George Washington attacking British air bases, 'Send her back!', the worst stock market selloff in years, caving...

World's first solar road turns out to be colossal failure - Business Insider - I am not one bit surprised. That Dutch project is a solar-panel bike lane. Bikes make less pressure than cars, which likely accounts for the difference in success. Renewable Hydrogen Launches Sneak Attack On...

Secret Service, are you listening? Keep this guy in your sights next time Trump bear-hugs the flag or delivers on-camera political insults at the Normandy cemetery.

There will never be an end to the demonstrations of how grotesque and unfit he is. Earlier today, AT THE NORMANDY CEMETERY, Pres. Shithole (sorry -- forgive my lapse -- the honorable Pres. Shithole) granted an interview to Faux News in which he called Robert Mueller a fool and Speaker Pelosi...

...are 'lies', not because the documents are different in source, style, authorship, or content from those showing preparations to land in Normandy - the British went to extraordinary lengths to ensure that the Calais landing preparations were very authentic indeed - but because all the evidence...

...head of stse he was paranoid and distrful, compartmentalizing. Persoanl initiative was stifled. Famously on D0Day when it was clear it was Normandy local command would not release tanks to the beaches without authorization. No one would wake Hitter up at night. There were several points when...

Dude, relax, I just wanted to say that I, as majority of western people care about terrorism as long as it happening in the West and near. I know I should care about Egypt and other basket cases but when it's happening daily I just can't.

Hollande: Deadly church attack in France carried out in name of ISIS Is France west enough, or are you going to move the goalposts into the Atlantic next time? But, you know, ISLAMIC State has nothing to do with Islam ... - - - Updated - - - I was thinking more of this thread, where Toni was...

Yes, but she does it graciously... Wait, do you mean she HAS to do it graciously?! Ah, les Anglais! "The Soviet Union lost around 27 million people during the war, 8.7 million military and 19 million civilian deaths. A quarter of the people in the Soviet Union were wounded or killed"...

...joined the war late, and while they beat Japan, they didn't beat Hitler, who was already facing certain defeat before D-Day. Arguably the Normandy landings were necessary to prevent Soviet domination of Western Europe - they certainly weren't required in order to defeat the Nazis. Your...

I disagree. Of course American news sources are going to cover American news more thoroughly than foreign news, but I think the NYT has done a decent job of covering world news. There was another short piece that I read this morning that described the movement this weekend in France. There are...

The yellow vest movement is sometimes mentioned in U.S. news but news coverage concentrates on U.S. politics. How many stories are covered in a normal newscast or issue of NYT about some politician's view of Trump, 'the wall', a Trump tweet, who is planning to run in 2020, what AOC said about...

Here's one from the AP that was published in WaPo yesterday. WaPo doesn't always allow nonsubscriber to read linked articles, like the NYT does...

Disagreed about rebutting his point, but no matter. I'm satisfied with the status quo. Anyone who wants to change it will have to convince the majority of Americans why they want to chip away at the Constitution. - - - Updated - - - Wrong again, Phands. Now work your magic to edit my post...

That doesn't rebut his point, Max. He was drawing a comparison, not claim that ARs or AKs were actually used in '44. By the way, the vast majority of doggies landed on Utah and Omaha with the M-1, a semi-automatic rifle (or carbine, depending on the version you were issued) that was not capable...

Reading comprehension is not your friend.

Sorry, due, but I can never trust a person who is so blatantly dishonest, they edit out a post proving they are wrong then insult me with a comment that I can't "read with comprehension". Good luck, kid. - - - Updated - - - Awesome recovery. Google is your friend, eh? - - - Updated - - -...
