@history_dame Hear conversation. I think that is probably correct, although you could argue the American Revolution would be a contender. The change in the world order, NATO, and the technological advances in such a short time are all attributes to WW2.

@jbyerly81 What amazes me is the people who are so entrenched in their ideology that they side with a failed major and mediocre media personality over a decorated delta commander and general.

@RenAndSkimpy692 @USArmy Chaplains have been a part of our Army before we were even an official nation.

@Brett_327 @EODHappyCaptain Sounds like that E6 just didn’t have good leadership.

@StanBaldwin67 @Jason_R_Burt I see what you did there!

[Steve @MCILeader]

@RandyBr14329588 @Jason_R_Burt King was CNO

@Gentleman_Ways Would have to be George Washington. His role in the revolution, resigning, steering the constitutional convention and establishing the norms of the executive branch responsibly and then stepping away from power a second time.

@HistoryPegg A few reasons- that group was incredibly close & stayed close after the war. Ambrose had great source material, & Winters was a great person to follow & was able to connect many different dots of information. The second is the way the replacement system worked for other units.

@Shifty_n_idle @JasonMiyaresVA Came here to say the same thing

@GordonH67659118 @gozumdecanIandi That would have made it unrealistic. Captain Millers Rangers landed on Omaha and went inland to where the 101st was located. There were no British/Candadians in that sector. That would be like putting Americans at Pegasus Bridge.

Dreams are powerful reflections of your actual growth potential. Denis Waitley

Leadership takeaway: As a leader it is our job to envision the future, not by ourselves, but empower our team to be owners in building a future. Teams need a dream so that growth can be visualized.

@DrHelenFry Funny story about this picture. You would think he was saying something motivational but he was talking about the proper grip for fly fishing!

@aliciaandrz Important people get attacked, it’s unfortunately part of it. Remember to not take criticism from people you would not take advice from.

@JSlaughterEsq You mean the soldiers that stopped the Nazis? That’s not important to the American people?

[Steve @MCILeader]

@HackForumsNet @U_Got_Moxie @JSlaughterEsq I’ll start with the east parts: none of what you said was factual

[Steve @MCILeader]

@ColoRocko @JSlaughterEsq That’s because they were two very different conflicts

@mipps312346 @IMTHECREEPER1 @henryspil @SeaSpitfires Who, except maybe uneducated people, are downplaying the British contribution to DDay?

Eisenhower’s words—“You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade”—were not hyperbole. Failure would have prolonged the war by years and possibly altered its outcome. Today we remember that such men existed, and we owe them for the freedom we have today. 5/5

Eighty two years ago today—June 6, 1944—Allied forces launched the largest amphibious invasion in history. Roughly 156,000 American, British, Canadian, and other troops stormed a heavily fortified 50-mile stretch of Normandy coast under withering fire. 1/5

[Steve @MCILeader]

The operation succeeded through a combination of factors: meticulous planning, massive deception (Fortitude), air & naval superiority, German command confusion (including Rommel’s absence &Hitler’s delayed response), and above all, the raw determination of the men on the ground.
