There’s a beauty and serenity in all of these faces… they’re people who did their duty, no matter how unpleasant, dangerous, or nasty it was. They did what they had to in order to rid the world of the most inhumane political system that ever arose… the Nazi New Order. We owe them all a debt of gratitude that we can NEVER repay in full.

In contrast, compare these wonderful people with the contemporary money-grubbing scummers of the US Republican Party, especially loud and posturing cowards such as Rush Limbaugh, Dropout Scott Walker, Bill O’Reilly, Donald Trump, and Sean Hannity… all of whom are warmongers who refused to serve in the forces themselves. I’d say that anyone who supports them and their wingnut positions needs a brain transplant. There are the VOV vets who saw it all… then, there’s the GOP nutters who refused to serve. One of these things is NOT like the other!

Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

Psalms 8.2

And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?

The Gospel According to St Matthew 21.16

Here’s what the people have to say about the American lickspittle junta in Yemen. I think that there might be some truth in the rumour that the ordinary folks in the Arab world are riled at their kleptocratic rulers (and their US backers). Any questions?
