Once again in the Pentagon, V-E Day was celebrated in the usual way—it was ignored. [VDARE.com Note: For the benefit of young readers who were taught American History in public school, May 8, 1945 was Victory In Europe Day, marking the end of the European phase of the Second World War.]
The greatest feat of arms in modern history is not even a footnote to those who now lead the U.S. military and naval services, who fill the air with their empty phrases about the heroes of our latest foreign misadventures, and who are soon to raise the curtain in a new African theater as AFRICOM (the US Africa Command) stumbles about a continent where the British and French experience is deemed irrelevant.

If Mr. Snowden and the naturalized Chinese laboring in our defense labs betrayed the country, surely admitting those whose first allegiance is to Mexico ought to give pause.

The Pentagon's abolition of our historical memory bespeaks a worrisome sentiment.
