Is that Iwo or Tarawa?

Tarawa, you can tell from the palm trees and white sand (Iwo Jima's beaches were treeless and had black volcanic sand)

I used to look at photos like this and imagine what it would be like to be there. confusion, fear, and bravery. now I just see the waste like a picture of a house destroyed by a fire.

That's from a movie (die Brücke, 1959 iirc)

I too found that movie scene chilling.

I wonder what happened to them when the Soviet Rape Brigade came along eventually...

Did the assassination of Kennedy forever kill the bright eyed, norman rockwell optimism of american?

[Insert bolshitvik damage control]

No, because the idea of an optimistic, pre-Vietnam America under JFK is a myth; and one man's murder doesn't break the spirit of a people, unless it was already faltering anyway.

Reminder that if Kennedy wasn't shot, he would've humiliated the nation by overdosing
