Your regular reminder that #Fascist draft dodging #DonaldTrump trying to unconstitutionally label "Antifa violence" as "terrorism" would mean every single Allied #WWII #veteran is a "terrorist" by their insane "definition". *EVERYONE* that kicks Nazi asses is literally an #Antifacist. Vance was right, Trump is officially "America's Hitler" now.

"The ‘Purple Heart Battalion’ fought Nazis abroad and injustice at home
These Japanese American soldiers amassed a total of nearly 9,500 Purple Hearts.
(. . .)
Their government’s actions did not strip many of them of their willingness to serve. About 33,000 of them either enlisted or were drafted during World War II. Japanese Americans fought heroically for the country of their birth. Most of them served in the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, which included 21 Medal of Honor recipients.
The 442nd suffered so many casualties that it became known as the 'Purple Heart Battalion.'
(. . .)
The Nisei soldiers refused to allow the injustice and prejudice they endured to affect their military service. For two seemingly endless days, they battled dense foliage and icy rain as they attempted to avoid setting off German mines. As they neared the ridge where the Germans had more than 270 members of the 1st Battalion, 141st Infantry Regiment, 36th Infantry Division surrounded, the enemy unleashed artillery fire, the National Museum of the U.S. Army reported. The 442nd sustained several casualties but kept fighting.
The 442nd launched several attacks, but could not save the Lost Battalion. Finally, after the Nazis killed one of his fellow Nisei soldiers, Pvt. George Sakato charged the enemy. By himself, he killed 12 Germans, wounded two more, and personally captured four others. Sakato also helped his platoon detain 34 Germans as prisoners.
'As a unit, we were used like cannon fodder,' Sakato later said. '… I was willing to die for my country.'
The same day, Pvt. Barney Hajiro charged a slope ominously called Suicide Hill. Hajiro took out two machine-gun nests and killed two snipers while dodging fire.
Sakato and Hajiro epitomized the fierce resolve of the 442nd’s soldiers. That determination finally paid off six days into the intense fighting when they saved the Lost Battalion."

My next book is about the attack on the Tragino aqueduct. I got an email from the son of a veteran of that action earlier today, which included this sentence:
BTW the early version of the cover art is, to me, instantly recognizable as Tragino.
I am very pleased 😃

I often compare the fight of #Palestinians with our resistance in #WWII.
Just like #Israel took over #Palestine, the Nazi's invaded European countries.
We had #resistance, people called terrorists by the Nazi's. Every year, we now honour these people for the lives they saved, for the price they paid, for how they did not succumb to our oppressors.
If you see how Israeli settlers in Palestine kick Palestinians out of their houses. Without rule of law.
Would you not protest?

Steile Theorie am Morgen!!
#GutenMorgen es ist #Donnerstag ich bin und ausgeschlafen. Mein #adhs Gehirn sagt geradeDas auf der Welt Menschen mit verschiedenen Merkmalen leben war schon immer so. Scheinbar haben aber die überwiegend weißen Christen, sich Ihren Balkensepp weiß gesoffen, dann alles was dunkleren Taint hat wie der Wikinger für ein Problem gehalten, weil bei den Kreuzzügen aufs Maul bekommen, bis heute gehalten. Daraus wurde dann die Dummheit der #whitesupremacy und anstelle die Welt aus #WWII #Vietnam #Irak #Afghanistan was lernte, verbloedete sie weiter
Und jetzt sieht man wie ein ADHS Gehirn irgendwas anfängt was sich darin super anhörte aber hier im Fiasko endet und ich kein deut hab was ich schreiben wollte außer das Rassismus scheiße ist, Linksextremisten Scheisse sind und ich einfach nur Kontakte will und Aufmerksamkeit
Ach fickt euch liest eh keiner 😎

July 15, 1941 #WWII NYT In the past, ever since its founding in April, 1933, and until the first months of this year, the CCC has been one of the most popular branches of government service, and consequently the recent slump in recruiting has been partly attributed to increased employment activities in defense.
