“I hate to nitpick your fine article but I feel that I must set the record straight. There were no organized Australian units participating in the D-Day invasion.”

Don’t forget the flyboys. There were some RAAF units involved in the invasion. Also lots of Australian personnel were serving in the RAF and RN, even if they weren’t in Australian units.

“Does anyone know, with any degree of certainty, how many Muslims served in the Indian army on the Allied side?”

There were about 450,000 Muslims serving in the Indian army as of January 1945. I would imagine that the French units recruited in North Africa and the Levant probably had a Muslim or three on the rolls as well. Might have been a few more serving in the armed forces of the Soviet Union too.

If I was a gambling man, I’d bet that a hell of a lot more Muslims fought on the Allied side than on the Axis side in WWII. You just don’t hear much about them.

Not only do I remember the historical significane of D-Day, but I always remember the joke President Obama made years ago on a local Chicago TV show about it.

He said, “After I saw the American invaders shoot German troops trying to surrender, I was rooting for the Nazis.”

Of course, he laughed and didn’t mean it. But that Obama sense of humor has a history of getting him into trouble.

June 6 ,1944-The Allies launch a massive invasion of so-called”Fortress Europe”.I seem to remember a CONSERVATIVE named Churchill kept the Allies hanging in there until the invasion too.Interesting how nowadays some get their history from movies.I got mine from books and encyclopedias.Books remember those?hehe.
Now its 65 years later and we all know where Hitlers ideology went-straight to the Mid-east.Iran comes to mind.

Uhmmmm, Muslims fighting with the Allies on the D-Day Invasion? Wow, never thought about that one! I wonder how many fish were killed on the beaches that day? What did it mean for the local eco-system to have all that human blood and body parts all over the ocean? Deep, penetrating, mind dazzling questions! You take the cake!

As for blacks, recognize that while there was racism, they, they acted with courage and served proudly in whatever role they were told. They were the ones who fought for their children and paved the way for civil rights. They helped the slow, painful change of attitudes through their service, pride and sacrifice. Recognize that and stopping being an ass! This article is about remembering them. It is not about you Dickwad!

They did not just view themselves as victims. They did more for their people than you do for your liberal cause acting as if you are serving their defense. I’ll bet each one of those men and women would tell you to stick your pretentiousness where the sun does not shine.

“It is not “Saving Private Ryan” but “Band of Brothers” that our jr. high and high school boys check out. I tell them that the language is atrocious and that the men said they didn’t talk that way, but that is how the director’s chose to have them talk.”

If that’s what grabs you about depictions of men at war, I wouldn’t suggest hanging around with any group of Marines.

“The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps!”
– Eleanor Roosevelt, First Lady of the United States, 1945
