How PC would it be to launch a magnificent operation like that today.... knowing that the casualties would be too high to sell to the public... NOT that I am advocating casualities, but that WW2 Generation, much like the American Revolution generation.... had some major BALLS.... and paid the price willingly.... one remaining old WW2 vet I know tho, he has confided in me...if his "guys", as he says, knew how this country was going to change... they would have said to hell with it, and walked away.... I think a lot of us were born a generation or 3 too late, in that aspect as well...
like one old salt told me, shortly before he passed... "I've seen the best of it boy... you'll se the rest of it..."... he's been gone for almost 20 years, but those words haunt me with there truth...

but... alas... I'm being too cynical... again ....

"VIVA LA REVOLUTION!

PS:...
call me when the revolution meetings start

Well spoken, I agree 100%
