Ike's D-Day Message

Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force!
You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months.

The eyes of the world are upon you.
2/ The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you.

In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine...
3/ ...the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world.

Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well
equipped and battle hardened. He will fight savagely.

But this is the year 1944!
4/ Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41. The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats,
in open battle, man-to-man.

Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground.
5/ Our Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men.

The tide has turned!

The free men of the world are marching together to Victory!
6/ I have full confidence in your courage and devotion to duty and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full Victory!

Good luck!

And let us beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.

1/ Mark Burnett sold the illusion the Trump was a mega success with a reality TV show filmed on a gimcrack fake boardroom set in e eponymous Tower.

We saw it in focus groups in 2016: the mulish, intractable stupidity of Republican and white male Democratic voters.
2/ "MISTER Trump us the richest man in America." "He's the most successful builder in New York!" "Trump is so rich, that no one could buy him!"

Even when you gave them the truth, the power of 15 years of reality TV indoctrination overcame it.
3/ I was screaming to Republican campaigns about this in 2015 and 16, begging them to pay attention, but for reasons you can see in my book they all had their motivations for not attacking Trump or telling the truth about his financial record.

1/ Please read @RosieGray's quite amazing, horrifying profile of Katie McHugh. It's a remarkable window in to the alt-right and the modern Trump media complex.

@RosieGray 2/ She was a Bannon minion, and part of the Breitbart crew who harassed my family and my clients.

I know I should be the bigger man, but her comeuppance is rich, karmic justice.

No, you don't get a pass because all your friends were doing it.
@RosieGray 3/ No, you don't get to say, "But the culture of my org/friends/bf made me this way!"

Without putting too fine a fucking point on the matter, that's the origin of "I was just following orders."

"I did it to own the libs" is also insufficient. It's an excuse, not a reason.

1/ From my new @thedailybeast article, apropos of this embarrassing show from Graham.

"Wednesday’s Senate hearing will be reality TV, not oversight. Barr, Lindsey Graham, and the rest of the Trump cheer squad will be there to provide show prep for the Fox evening lineup...
@thedailybeast 2/ "... feeding Trump-right media ecosystem a bolus of weapons-grade conspiracy horseshit.

In their entirely predictable way, the Senate GOP will use the entire hearing to go after the “real” villains; FISA (and how international Dorks of Mystery Carter Page and...
@thedailybeast 3/ "...George Papadopoulos were swept up by same), the “FBI scum,” Hillary’s emails, the insidious Deep State, and the provenance of the Steele Dossier."

75 years ago, some of the bravest men to ever walk this Earth landed on the beaches of Normandy as America and the Allied forces made a push to breakthrough the Nazi defenses of Western Europe, and continued to carry out missions onward throughout Europe for the duration of WWII.

This is the letter that Eisenhower set aside "in case of failure."

"Our landings in the Cherbourg-Havre area have failed to gain a satisfactory foothold and I have withdrawn the troops. My decision to attack at this time and place was based upon the best information available..

IKE’S DECISION

75 years ago today, one day before #DDay, Supreme Commander Dwight Eisenhower gave the final order for Operation Overlord to commence the next day.

“O.K., let’s go,” he said.

“The time was then 4:15 a.m., June 5,” Ike later wrote.
2/ Beyond considerations of weather, moon, tide and time of sunrise, Operation Overlord had detractors. Air Chief Marshal Sir Trafford Leigh-Mallory, a senior commander in the Royal Air Force, had thought the airborne operation would cause a “futile slaughter” of two divisions.
3/ “He believed that the combination of unsuitable landing grounds and anticipated resistance was to great a hazard to overcome,” Ike later recalled in CRUSADE IN EUROPE.

Ike went to his tent “and sat down to think.” He then “telephoned him that the attack would go as planned.”
