not so much a response to this video as a response to jobberbud...yeah, your generation is pretty much a sorry lot, as well as a misinformed lot. as of this month, the defense authorization act was signed into law by obama, meaning funding for detention camps for fema, which will be staffed by government and private security....as well as arrest authority and indefinate detention by both police and military. if you don't believe me, look it up online.....how about protesting that?
On today, one of the last few Pearl Harbor Days with many WWII vets still alive, I'm deeply ashamed: this generation, this greatest America ever saw, fought evil by going to Europe and the Pacific to stop it by fighting and dying - while my generation fights evil by taking a dump in a New York park, then getting peppersprayed.
the song evokes many feelings. i was suprised when i saw the video and one of my relatives was on it. he was my grandfather's older brother, the army chaplain giving last rites to a fallen g.i.. he had nightmares many years after the war concerning what he saw and the ages of many of the men(kids) who he administered last rites for, a lot of them 17 and 18 years old. it pisses me off to no end that this country does more for illegal aliens and welfare recipients than our g.i"s. good video.
I would like to thank all veterans regardless of their side or political beliefs for their service during WWII. I feel proud to have a great grandfather who fought during this war, sadly he's no longer with us
@rabbithog Your talking about Polish people. God you brits are such pigs. Polish people are better than that paki infestation you got there. Appreciate them.
But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.
To which Frodo weakly replies, “What are we holding onto, Sam?”
“That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo… and it’s worth fighting for.”
hitler was a great man and one of the biggest mistakes of the 20th century was fighting him.all he wanted was a white europe,and whats wrong with that? the way we are going we,ll have an islamic europe.
@StaffSergeantStoned agree he should have let his generals fight the war,,,,, different war,,, but sorry to say ,,economy would have been agin Germany,,, no economy no war,,,
I"m with ya on that one...Then the Muslims wonder why we profile their military take over the world orientated asses. As far as I'm concerned if they don't like us they should get the HELL away from us and stay away
when i go into service and theres like a WW3 im gonna sing this song with them to lighten their spirits. ALL SERVICE MEN OUT THERE YOU ARE DOING A HECK OF A JOB THANK YOU AND SING THIS SONG TO LIGHTEN SPIRITS 'CAUSE IT HAS A GOOD TOON. SING THIS WITH YOUR SQUAD,PLATOON, OR BATTALION! A SALUTE TO YOU OUT THERE!!
america is new germany. look at all wars of usa after ww2. they stopped nazis and then become just the same. bringing demokratia to irak and afganistan cost this nations milion lives so far. and they still dying. where is the end? tyrania is always surwiving. LOOK ON END OF IRON CROS MOVIE. last 10 sec. hitler is alive. today he is black. tomorow it would be first woman presedent of usa or some new marketing trick for ellections.
FOR WHAT !!! are you crazy!! those men gave their lives so all of us can live free. It is too bad that hilter and his cronies, caused the loss of their life, but their life's were not given in vain. GOD BLESS AMERICA !!!!
With WWII people often think of generals, politicians, and huge battles. But with song like this, it really makes you think about the poor fuckers on both sides who had to fight in that hell.
It's funny how effective this hippie dippy ditty works with these images of carnage from World War II. From my understanding this silly song was attached to "Kelly's Heroes" at the last second because the film's producer also had a stake in the Mike Curb Congregation wanted to promote that band alongside the film. It seems so incongruous, but it strangely fits.
McLarenMercedes : FDR hated Jews with a passion. There were two or three cruise ships that had sailed across the Atlantic with some Jews on board. They were trying to escape Nazi Germany. They had actually dropped anchor just offshore, but FDR would not allow them to dock. He wanted the ships to go back to Europe so that Hitler could round up the Jews on board and kill them; which he did. FDR was one evil sob.
@StephenB58 Sorry but may I ask who is FDR?, an yes your right if your talking about Non German Western Countrys an the ships who had Jewish people trying to escape Nazi oppression of Hitler were refused Entry. Very little is mentioned of that in 'some' Western Countrys historys.
After the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, 12/07/1941; as many people in Hollywood that were physically able to, enlisted in the military to help to stop Hitler and Hirohito from taking over the world. Today, the good people of Hollywood would be on the front lines demanding this nation surrender to whatever enemy attacked us. They would even fight for the other side.
Really? Charlie Chaplin made The Dictator in 1940 and got seriously critisized for making a biased vision of Nazi Germany. Until Pearl Harbor and Hitler's declaration of war the majority of Americans didn't want to have anything to do with the war. Roosevelt tried to enter the war activily before but he was called a "jew lover" and who knows what else.
If Hitler and Hirohito (more like Hideki Tojo)wanted to take over the world what took the American public so long to realize that?
...U.S. Marine Combat Veteran>Purple Heart: "experienece you can't imagine, an eternity live, and a curse to never forget".....my prayers are that YOU never experience IT. GOD BLESS.
Listen up, after seeing the total destruction of Germany and what one dictator can fool them into, you can be damn sure they sure as hell wouldn't want to fight anybody else's war ever again.
If it weren't for those "mutta russian" defeating the majority of the Nazi war machine you can kiss that invasion of Normandie bye bye.
Besides the cold war is over too so what the hell are you bitching about anyway??
@hac522 Short term maybe, but then we had the oppressive regimes of Russia, the far and middle east, South America, Africa etc. The names and locations have changed is all.
@drorangeg It preserves the politics of the Rich an Politicians, however depends on your clarifaction of demonic. An as for ''(mostly Jewish)'' how?, sounds like your falling for that same properganda!!!!!.
@hac522 yes.. but... if there never had been the massive waste of life that was World War One, then WW2 need not have happened (check Treaty of Versailles)
The depression of the 1930's was the main reason. If you watch how many votes the nazis got in the 1920's even with the hyperinflation it was very few. Then the 1929 crash and the following worldwide depression made a lot more people listen to Hitler. Suddenly the nazis got several times more votes and people seriously believed Hitler was the man to save Germany.
The Treaty of Versaillles wasn't particularly harsh, especially since France was totally devastated by the war.
@Prezzees Good point, seeing as nobody wanted to take on the reds, we started a war to save Poland from one dictator and ended up with it in the hands of another even worse. But I should have mentioned dozens of other countries too.
@legoboy2255 Nope, war was started because Hitler invaded Poland, which six years later ended up as the property of an even bigger mass murderer, Joseph Stalin, killer of 20 million plus.

But thank God, that he has been that stupid for all of us!
Because everybody ignores the fact that even not jewish people got
killed in the Concentration Camps
