The soldiers who fought for the U.S. in World War II didn’t know they were making the world safe for transgenderism. From Darrick Taylor at crisismagazine.com:
Our public memory of the Second World War we have inherited in the United States is a myth designed to propagate a political ideology.
he eightieth anniversary of the D-Day landing in Normandy during World War II has come and passed, and this will be the last commemoration for many veterans of that operation. Commentary on the yearly events held in France evinced a noticeably nostalgic quality; America’s victory in World War II and its memory might be one of the last bits of cultural heritage most Americans still share, albeit tenuously.
Reading this commentary made me think of something my father told me last year, after my grandfather passed away. My grandfather served in the U.S. Navy during World War II and used to regale my brother and me with war stories when we were children. Five years earlier, when they were discussing the subject of the soldiers who fought in World War II, my grandfather told my father that “they died for nothing.”
Do his words shock you? I admit to feeling shocked when my father told me this, but I shouldn’t have. Other veterans have voiced similar sentiments publicly. My grandfather, like my parents, had grown alarmed at the cultural direction of the country. Neither he nor they could comprehend something like “transgenderism.” If my grandfather thought for one moment that fighting in World War II meant creating a world where the president of the United States would accuse those Americans who voted for his opponents of being “fascists,” where such things as “gay marriage” and “pride month” exist, where pro-life activists are sent to prison for praying at abortion clinics, he never would have served in the first place.
