World War #2

Happy Iwo Jima Flag Raising Day everyone. On this date 64 years ago America began another beautiful chapter to its life. Beautiful, as in shitty and disgustingly funny, like Ruby Ridge, or when a retard tries to do a somersault in gym class, goes over wrong, cracks his head on the floor and craps himself.

Beautiful.

Turd At Full Mast

63 years and 361 days ago, the U.S. invades a shitty island halfway between Mariana Islands and Japan. Few days later some military guys raise a flag atop a mountain there. They got their picture taken doing it, but it’s not the famous picture you see molested here. Soon after a bigwig navy guy is coming ashore and sees the flag and wants it as a souvenir. Word gets back to the marine guy who originally had it put up. He says, fuck that and sends other guys up with a new flag to put up so that the navy guy steals the wrong one.

Did I mention that the fucking war and fighting on this island is still going on? Yeah, believe it or not, petty politics without regard for human life existed prior to 9/11/2001.

After the first stars and stripes is taken down, a photographer takes a picture of the second flag being raised. That is the picture that is famous and the one they based a memorial on in D.C..

It gets better. Someone smelled a moneymaking opportunity. The guys who put up the flag were identified and put on a U.S. War Bonds tour. Well, the 3 that survived the island were. They went around the country with posters of the famous picture and goading people into buying bonds.

However, they misidentified one of the raisers. Some time later the guy closest to the flag told them they got the guy at the base wrong. He was ordered to shut up because the Marines had already released the names to the press.

Semper Fi.

Fuck you 3 generations back. Your Irish, Italian, German, French and all other European heritage pride can suck my American dick. I'm 3/4 Missourian and 1/4 Connecticuter. My grandmother came over on the Amtrak motherfucker.
