The beroic inroad and fight led by Lt. Taylor actually took place in l'Ormel - and not in the Vaumicel, which stands about 300 meters West of L'Ormel. This error was then corrected in the French translation, which can be found on the Vierville.free.fr website.<br /><br />N.BULTE (owner of L'Ormel)Nicolashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06961233598651565874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-43686966055080515792010-09-18T03:02:41.287-05:002010-09-18T03:02:41.287-05:00Cool post as for me.

I still have a hard time with the fact that the pre invasion bombing was pathetically off target.....Well,the surprise is gone, so why not continue with MANY,MANY,MANY MORE bombing runs?<br /><br />Mainly disturbing is watching our soldiers run across 300 yards of beach completely exposed. It does not take much thought to have the front few men on the amphibious vehicles holding a bullet proof shield in front of them. 2 guys hold the weight,and 4 or 5 can cross the beach crouching behind the shield.....I mean come on, the Greek Phalanx was invented over 2000 years ago...<br /><br />If it took 3 men to carry the heavy shield,so what,....that would be 7 or 8 at least getting across " dead mans land"Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18324254621765157066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-3919017968301655862009-06-09T13:26:37.564-05:002009-06-09T13:26:37.564-05:00Mike, Thanks for this article.

I see the most principled Restorationists as similar to church ladies collecting votes for alcohol prohibition. Or eco-nuts collecting votes to shut down suburban expansion because they find it so ugly it damages society. And I see the less principled Restorationists on a range between thieves who want to continue leeching taxes, to sociopaths. All these motivations are clearly wrong in some way. I am the victim being damaged, and I do not have to apologize to those hurting me. Yet only the sociopaths have consciously set out to be Evil, and the rest of the folks are friends and neighbors. What reaction is proportional? What I've decided to do is pick at the consciences of the well-meaning politicians from a safe distance, as many often see the errors of their ways.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-57610723310064784542009-06-09T06:20:43.777-05:002009-06-09T06:20:43.777-05:00Damn Anonymous, couldn't you be more inventive...Damn Anonymous, couldn't you be more inventive?<br /><br />Cowardice disguised and moral superiority has been done to death.

True on the individual level with dueling, true on the large group level with constitutional coercion." <br /><br />And if a person just has no clue how to engage other men in conversation, find common ground, and then persuade them, if he is a total failure at that, he instead just jumps right past the persuasion part and goes straight to insults that would get his ass kicked if in person. <br /><br />You are like some guy at an office party who just walks in out of the blue, walks up to a group of people who are engaged in a conversation and, without introduction or engaging folks in the current conversation, he just blurts out something offensive, such as "but all of you are simply stupid, foolish wage slaves to capitalism" or some such. <br /><br />"I'd rather try to talk my fellow man out of being a brute as long as the opportunity is available." <br /><br />Well, if that's your motive, then you are a spectacular failure at persuasion, since you sound as if your goal was simply to insult, by saying things I suspect you would not have the cojones to say to any of these men face to face - which is why you got the reaction you did. <br /><br />And my point, and that of Sean, I suspect, is that even you know you are doing here on the internet what you would not do in person. Chalk it up to whatever you want. Perhaps it is simply because you know your behavior is rude, and you have some level of decency that would keep you from doing that in the real world? I hope that's it, rather than a lack of courage.<br /><br />If you really want to actually change people's minds, a first step would be to not act like a snooty asshole know it all. Try that next time. But then maybe you just don't know how to persuade, but only know how to insult. <br /><br />If you are going to do that, then have the personal courage to do it in person. Be consistent. <br /><br />High Plains LawyerHigh Plains Lawyernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-49765217978659970192009-06-08T23:37:16.311-05:002009-06-08T23:37:16.311-05:00If a person can't persuade another, oftentimes...If a person can't persuade another, oftentimes he turns to violence to maintain his dominance after his last argument is rejected. True on the individual level with dueling, true on the large group level with constitutional coercion. Defensive force is a win-lose response, and I'd rather try to talk my fellow man out of being a brute as long as the opportunity is available.<br /><br />Having just lauded conscription for a huge foreign war of questionable defensive purpose, we come back to the 'if elected, what foreign policy will the Sipsey Street administration pursue' question. This then begs the question of, why should anyone want to delegate resources to enable anybody to pursue a foreign policy?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-25622588693149381672009-06-08T15:00:33.255-05:002009-06-08T15:00:33.255-05:00Anon,

They were all admirable men.<br /><br />That does not change the fact that WWII can be looked at in a much broader context in which Americans can say, "What did that war give us?" <br /><br />After it was all said and done America then turned it's back on Eastern Europe and let the Russians enslave millions of people that we supposedly fought to free from the NAZIs.<br /><br />And the soldiers men of WWII were largely conscripted. Say what you will but you can not be free if the state owns you and can send you off to foreign wars. <br /><br />Hopefully that is settled as we see that a volunteer military is much more effective than a conscripted one.<br /><br />We fight for our brothers the rest is all bullshit anyway.<br /><br />CoryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-32118043828605203302009-06-08T05:08:25.217-05:002009-06-08T05:08:25.217-05:00Folks,
