And it didn't even rise to the level of a wilted word salad. In WWII and Operation Overlord success depended on multiple allies and planning. In Operation Epic Fury our sole ally was Israel and the planning has been exposed as wishful thinking.
WWII ended with the unconditional surrender of Germany and Japan. Our "war" with Iran plays on like a soap opera. In seems to me that we've lost a lot and gained very little. In effect, we have partially disarmed by using our best weapons, the ones that take years and millions of $$ to replace. But fear not, we've still got those nukes.
And Hegseth's attempt to draw some kind of a parallel between the allies invading the beaches of Normandy on June 6th, 1944 with immigrants attempting to land on the beaches of Spain today is just another Trumpian racist dog whistle.
