With today's politicians and media, would we have won WWII; we had over 4000 men killed on D-Day alone.?

Answer 1

No, modern libs would have happily given the Axis victory on all fronts.

Answer 2

The relationship between todays politicians and the losses on D-Day is non-existant. Who is to say that they would have opted for that invasion?

It would have been a different war. Who knows what would have been the outcome. Great leaders rise to the occasion sometimes from very humble beginnings. We might have had other great leaders take exactly the same actions, or maybe they might have done better... who is to say.



g-day!

Answer 3

Probably not. Long before Operation Overlord we had some strategic and tactical disasters which also produced high casualties. The first time the American forces engaged the Germans at Kasarine Pass, after the Americans landed in North Africa during Operation Torch, the Americans were slaughtered. During the invasion of Siciliy we sent 161 gliders full of troops into the fray. Only 40 of them survived without injury or death on landing. We built the B-17 bomber without a tail gunner position. After the Luftwaffe started coming up from behind and shooting them out of the skies we decided to "modify" the design.
The Marine amphibious landing at Tarawa in the Pacific was initially a disaster because the planners failed to use hydropgraphic charts that showed a reef formation would prevent the landing craft from reaching the beaches in one piece. We lost more ships and sailors off-shore during the Battle of Okinawa than we lost during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
The amazing thing is no one in the media or the Congress was calling for the scalp of President Roosevelt or any of the major military commanders. And no one was calling for an "exit strategy" in any of the five fronts in which we were fighting.

Answer 4

No. the media would be after the military for not giving the PW's coffee brake and the politicians would be holding hearing about it. Just like it is to day.there anti every thing.

Answer 5

Me say not. First there has been alot revealed recently on the subject of Iran & Iraq. those rebellion forces have been working mutually around the areas for some years. The WMD theory become not new. Clinton bombed Iraq in many cases, blew the heck out of Sudan & Afghanistan searching for them and Saddam. He additionally reported he believed Saddam become able to producing nuclear weapons. We had the Persian Gulf conflict. The physique count quantity 4 years below Clinton peacetime become over 4,417. Who is acquainted with the $$ and then he severely minimize militia budgets?? i think the lie is in the media impact of this the 2d Iraq conflict. no person lied. in certainty dissimilar Democrats voted for using tension to engaged with Iraq. Mrs. Clinton can not make an apology as she knew in particular others she become suited. in basic terms makes use of it for marketing campaign purposes. whilst this is pc. As all of us comprehend she waffles, because of the fact the wind turns ectera etcetera... one factor for particular is Iran is protecting. And the main recent 2003 document I examine become mind-blowing. Plus Saudi's provided to connect forces to benefit Uranium. frightening international we live. CIA sez 5 yrs to be sensible for Iran. tis what I sez mahalo edit: Sorry I have been given off subject. rather well worth the money no conflict is in no way rather well worth the money nor sacrifice of human lives. yet... we ought to evaluate the possibilities. no person quite ever wins.

Answer 6

If we had the same politicians as we do now back than, they would not have let us take the risk of invading the French coast. They would have been to worried about getting reelected.

Answer 7

Based on the reactions to the numbers seen in today's casualties, 4,000 in a day would seem like the end of the world, wouldn't it? It's been years and we've not lost 4,000 of our own.

Answer 8

Of course, because back then it cost a lot less money to train and equip soldiers. Armored vehicles and aircraft were pretty cheap back then too. In the days when armies often consisted of tens of millions of soldiers, 4000 on a particularly bloody battle was affordable.

Perhaps live television coverage during WW2 would have emboldened the population even more.

Answer 9

We wouldn't have won in todays world.

Answer 10

Actually we lost about 6,000 on D day and with today's liberals they would have probably said "screw the Jews and bring our boys back home its not our war" pretty much the same thing they are saying now.
