Kneeling/genuine anti Americans

[Peach]

Those obsessed with pro sports figures kneeling might want to remember the true abuse of Americans from WWI through Vietnam, and particularly WWII:

EBRUARY/MARCH 2009 – About 350 American POWs who either were Jewish or appeared to be to their German captors were imprisoned in the Buchenwald concentration camp during World War II, according to survivors who have begun telling their stories in a series of special reports on CNN.

Anthony Acevedo, a medic in the 70th Infantry Division during the war, was the first survivor to step forward with the grisly tale of the American soldiers held at Berga an der Elster, a subcamp of Buchenwald. After being captured during the Battle of the Bulge, Acevedo says he was sent to a POW camp near Bad Orb, Germany, where he was held with other American soldiers. About a month later, the camp’s commander told the prisoners to line up and ordered all of the Jewish soldiers to take one step forward. When few volunteered, Acevedo says, about 90 Jewish soldiers and more than 250 others the Germans thought “looked like Jews” were put on a train to Buchenwald. Acevedo, a Mexican American, is not Jewish.

Once he arrived at the concentration camp, he saw dozens of his fellow soldiers beaten, starved, and in some cases executed for trying to escape. Forced to dig tunnels for 12 hours a day in the final weeks of the war, the prisoners were given 100 grams of bread per week and soup made from rats. As a medic, Acevedo was required to use wax to fill up the holes in the skulls of prisoners who had been executed. When American military units neared the camp, the prisoners were forced with the rest of the camp’s inmates on a three-week death march. Fewer than half of the remaining soldiers survived.

Right now, in our country:

Not hard to notice that the Nazi flag and the Confederate flag are almost always seen together with these groups.

Thanks for the OP, it certainly puts current events in perspective.

Scared lil' tank?

:

These Americans suffered under fascism, and you want punishment for KNEELING? A fine will suffice, and contracts do not have to be renewed. How could these Americans avoid scraps of moldy bread and rat soup as the only means of survival? Play with your toy tanks while you ignore the reality.

Daddy said "No, honey, you can't imagine what some of the guys went through, mine was a bee sting next to their agonies; and "A LOT OF THE HEROES DON'T COME HOME". Now, play pretend with toy tanks and be offended.

Only a few, just like the kneelers. But one Nazi is worse than a million kneelers, and I think the kneeling has gone far enough:

It's a little thing called, "FREE SPEECH." Even you communists have that right. You DON'T have the right to react with VIOLENCE to those you call "Nazis." The violence is nearly always a tool of the communist Left and not your brothers on the Nazi Left.

I remember when Tim Tebow took a knee as a Christian. It was cool. But I get it now.The shoe is on the other foot. I wonder if we really need an bowing to a flag as necessary? Is it an anachronism we are better off without?

No, I'm sure these kneelers were raised or influenced by the same people that spit in the faces of our great Vietnam veterans when they came home. True story, liberals has always been traitors.

But the Confederate flag represents proud Southern Heritage and culture.

And the Nazi flag represents proud mid-20th-century German Heritage and culture.

Maybe those marchers are from Southern Germany.

He took a knee after a touchdown to thank God. Not to disrespect this great country.

Yes it was. But it was totally different. His was a symbol of respect. Theirs is a symbol of CONTEMPT (for the country of the Fans).

Right now, in our country:

. It's amazing to me how anyone would want to carry a Nazi flag in this country, but there they are doing it. The Confederate flag (possibly) is being carried in some cases as a defiance over the issue of reverse racism in which has been born out of the screwed up federal government's orders in which involved a flawed (not perfect) implementation of the desegregation plan in America... Sadly it only applied to many of the less fortunate in society that were to be made examples of or socially experimented upon, and this happened while the fortunate ones weren't forced into an unequal situation that caused in some cases a "reverse racism or discrimination" to occur. The Nazi or wantabe Nazi's will attempt to co-opt the disgruntled American who feels discriminated against in America, and this the Nazi's will do from where ever they (the disgruntled) are found to exist or do show their dissatisfaction within these things in America. It's the same with groups attaching themselves to the civil rights movement, although they aren't even excepted as part of that movement by many who are involved in that movement, yet they attach themselves to it anyway. Some who are carrying that rebel flag today, are possibly some of those who had bad experiences within the de-segregation processes of yester-year, and this could be the case if it applies due to the embalance they might have experienced in their situations during that time. The government in it's quest to put the nation on the right track back then, had to throw many sacrificial lambs upon the alter of change through out the years. Then you have the true hardcore racist that just refuse to assimilate due to generations of resistance on either side. These kind do exist on both sides of the isles, and yet they exist regardless of the more rational minded thinkers about these issues who are not racist, but rather are just concerned American's caught in the middle of it's evolutionary process that needs to work properly for all American races that are involved..... Hopefully the rational minded will always de-escalate many idiotic situations before they go stupid, but unfortunately some have gone stupid before the rational minded could gain control of the situations. Not taking up for anyone carrying flags or joining groups for any reason, but just giving a perspective of what might be going on in much of the stuff we are seeing today concerning these various groups out there. The attaching together of groups in order to undermine or over throw is always real in this nation, so the wise along with good government must be diligent to spot the problems, and then de-escalate them properly. The government needs to quit screwing everything up though, and allow the citizens the chance to participate in the process more so than what it has been in the past. The government needs the citizens to help these days - Imho - and it needs it badly these days. Politicians stoking the flames of racism is a sad pathetic situation, but they need to understand that the citizens know exactly when they do this now. Blacks who are racist are also the by products of the unbalanced situations experienced in society over the generations. What a mess it all is...Promoting unity is the only answer, but a give and take/eb and flow must be rationally thought of for all in order to get beyond the bullcrap. Standards and morals must be agreed upon by all races, and then forward movement can take place for all. Are we dreaming ??

You have no clue as to what really happened. For people to wave a Nazi flag in this country is bad.

A Confederate flag, notsomuch.

Confederate sons liberated people from the Nazi death camps. They fought and killed Nazis, and won. That's reality.

Yes, Southern boys killed Nazis and quite well.

You should watch Sergeant York sometime.

The Confederate flag is nowhere near the Nazi flag. It pains me to see them in the same picture. Blacks fought for the Confederacy, too.

You have to understand that there's what really happened, and then what's the revisionist history that's being taught insome state schools. The two are not the same. The men in picture are veterans. Confederacy veterans.

I'm sure I can dig up some more pictures for real. I even have some Matthew Brady pictures here. I know because they used to be pinned to my great-grandma's cedar chest. My family has been here for a good hot minute. I most likely have pictures going back to the early 1800s.
