I saw an interesting quote on the Yahoo news page. I never heard this expressed and was wondering how the troops went into France at the end of WWII since they were liberating her not going to take her over.
Wolford also told them to take down the U.S. flags from the tops of the tanks.
"We will be entering Iraq as an army of liberation, not domination, so it would not be right to go in with the American flag flying," he said
.
I was just talking to someone in the lunchroom about this and asked what happened during the Liberation of France. The guys said the US Flags were waving high.........wonder why the difference now????
Yes, I posted the thread called "Removal of US Flags" on 3/19 regarding the same subject.
I too, thought it very interesting.
I think the difference these days is we are more politically correct. Then again during WWII there weren't protestors lined up complaining about everything we did. France, England, all of Europe loved our butts back then.
Right you are, LB.
Soon, when this is over we will begin to hear expressions of gratitude from the Iraqui man-on-the-street.
I'm proud to support the liberation of Iraq.
"I'm proud to support the liberation of Iraq."
I agree!
I didn't catch what area of Iraq it was, but the radio announced this morning that many Iraqis were celebrating the start of the liberation of Iraq. Speculation from Fox news has Iraqi military leaders already discussing turning on Saddam, but I emphasis, it is news speculation. I hope it is true and that this is short lived and the Iraqi people will soon have their freedom.
Testing for Sally....
Oh.. also, I agree
