As I tribute my late brother, US Army veteran AJSOTO III on Memorial Day, let us all memorialize the Real American Patriots.
Draft Dodgers who called our fallen heroes suckers should never be allowed to represent The United States of America on the world stage. The third-largest American political party by voter registration booed him off the stage. A buffoon is someone whose ridiculous behavior is a source of amusement to moronic followers. A moron thinks he is smarter than others but cannot speak clearly nor is capable of the truth and every one of his accusations is a confession.
World War II was the deadliest military conflict in history. An estimated total of 70–85 million people perished, or about 3% of the estimated global population of 2.3 billion in 1940.
As an admiring British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill stated, "This is undoubtedly the greatest American battle of the war and will, I believe, be regarded as an ever-famous American victory."
In terms of participation and losses, the Battle of the Bulge is arguably the greatest in the US military.

Please, know there are three key image moments in this major motion picture.
As the Germans launched their last major offensive in the west, a plan was to break through the Allied lines at several points in the hilly, densely wooded Ardennes region of Belgium and make an all-out drive to recapture the port of Antwerp, thereby cutting the Allied forces in two.
The Allies could not use their air superiority due to dense fog covering the region. Stopping the vast armored advance fell to small groups of US soldiers making a stand wherever possible. There is no mention whatsoever that General Patton managed to turn the advance of his 3rd Army through 90 degrees, then head north to break through to the 101st Airborne at Bastogne.
However, leave it to Hollywood to hype the real story experienced by the greatest generation of Americans.
