User ID: 43331523 United States 08/01/2014 09:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Wow. Very emotional. I hate to see the bumper stickers that say the soldiers "fought for our freedom" and I always think the guys with the huge flags flying from their pickups are numb to the truth. They fought for the bankers' freedom to exploit. But, I honestly think the boys that went ashore on Omaha believed that what they were doing truly mattered. This kid reflects that spirit--a spirit that is totally gone from today's culture. Last Edited by Lockpicker on 08/01/2014 09:37 PM |

I hate it when people use their children to push an agenda... Plus, you came to the wrong place to push this shit, maybe try a local VFW meeting or FOX news club in your area. Everybody else is sick of the perpetual warfare and the blind military worship. :gaythread2: Hey. Asshole. Fuck you. My grand parents, and great uncles all fought in WW2. My great uncle landed on Normandy, and was a changed man after that day. He saw his friends get slaughtered. War is a horrific thing, and we are sick of the perpetual warfare, but their sacrifices are worth honoring. This kid is way ahead of anyone in his generation, he understands the horror and savagery of war. He had a father willing to show it to him. It makes me proud to know that at least one child born after 2001 knows how to honor his elders and the sacrifices they make. |

I saw the video and the story the uploader put in sucks. He/she tries too hard... "When he turned his gaze to the English Channel, he saw a vision of the spirits of our infantry soldiers heading for the shore on D-Day morning". And as he hummed Glenn Miller's "American Patrol" he broke his salute to wipe a single tear. Everyone longs for the touching yet viral video. |
Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 60532823 United States 08/01/2014 09:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'll lay odds that kid was there 70 years ago. Why would I say that. Well, I've had my own 150 year old flashback to a war. And then there is this story of a young boy reliving his past. [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] That kid on the beach has more heart than.......you know who. |

I am surpirised the kid's dad didn't say he hand stitched the flag and bought the airline tickets to France. It is just that transparent and over-the-top dumb. |

It's supposition on your part. Many times when people accuse others of falsehood, they reveal their own inner workings. |

User ID: 57203240 United States 08/01/2014 11:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Truly touching. You have no heart or soul if you can't find the beauty in this. Thousands of young men gave up their lives that day for Freedom so idiots on this board can act like they are so smart they feel,they can take shots at this kid and at the military. Guess what assholes? If there weren't people brave enough to fight for the freedom you take for granted, then you'd be speaking fucking German! It is a given that anyone who ridicules this thread lacks any moral clarity and would never have the balls to thumb wrestle much less fight in war. |
