The beach.
Close your eyes and listen. Gulls, waves.
Sniff. The tang of salt air, coconut sunscreen, hot dogs on a bonfire.
Feel. Humidity in the air, cold spray of a crashing wave, hot sand under foot.
Ever had a bad day at the beach? I haven’t. But much of this episode is about a hell day at one of the world’s most beautiful beaches — Normandy. The world, having had a belly-full of taking shit from the Little Corporal, decided to take no more shit, and instead sling ordnance with a fury that had never before been seen on earth.
When the smoke cleared, thousands were dead. And that’s what Memorial Day is about – D-Day and every other day since 7/4/1776 when some Americans first decided their shit-taking days were over.
It’s hard to stand on that beach at Normandy and not feel small and insignificant. On sand that was soaked in blood. Look out at the machines of war entrapped in the muck, mutely reminding us that freedom isn’t free.
In 1944, America was “one nation under God.” Now, it’s a simmering stew of dozens of whining, demanding, entitled micro-nations who don’t even know what the fuck America is, other than a massive tit that squirts out free everything for anybody.
It’s unsustainable. Eventually, the stew-pot will boil and when it does, U.S. Civil War #2 will be under way. It may have already begun. Nobody called the first Civil War a civil war until it was over.
US Civil War # 2 will have nothing to do with race, and everything to do with ideology.
Here are some pictures I took while visiting Normandy beach.
I salute our Armed Forces, on this day after Memorial Day. They are the Take No Shit people.
