    I jumped into Normandy way back in 89 with 3/325 ABCT. It was an incredible experience. We got to share a few beers with the men who made the actual D-Day jump. There were more around back then.

    Good evening,
    Namely that St Michel and the patron saint of French paratroopers and that every September 29 the French paratroopers (weather permitting) jump on the site of Mont St Michel to honor him.
    And we should not forget the 5,000 American and Canadian paratroopers of General Robert T. Frederick's First Airborne Task Force who jumped on August 15, 1944 in the south of France during the Provence landings because generally we only talk about those from Normandy but rarely from others (Sorry for the spelling, grammar and conjugation errors. But since English is not my strong point, I used google to translate from French to English).

    Khaki cosplay. Lots of talk about respect not backed up with actions. Everyone basically puts on a costume to look the way that they want to-- a mix of vintage reproductions and whatever modern bling works (Ranger Tabs, Para Marine patches, beards, sunglasses, ball caps, GoPro's, etc.), and not a uniform that would replicate the way the veterans actually wore it, the standards that they were held to, or how they experienced combat 80 years ago. ...and then Mont St. Michel wasn't a D-Day Drop Zone, but it's awesome for photos and fits in with the fantasy-camp motif going on. Sorry to harsh your mellow.

    • @TacticalRifleman
      @TacticalRifleman  6 місяців тому +5

      You forgot to mention we jumped modern parachutes and also didn't have Germans shooting up at us.
      Don't watch if you don't want to.
      D-Day to the French is like Independence Day is to Americans, as it should be. We had a great time each day hanging out with thankful locals, and each night partying with paratroopers from dozens of countries, including active 82nd, 173rd, and active Ranger Battalion guys. There were even active duty German soldiers there, as they are a current NATO member and great troops indeed. It's part of their history and they need to own it as well.
      Everyone enjoyed having the C-47s drop even more than the modern C-130s.
      Sorry it's not "your thing."
      Thanks for watching, TR.

      LO fricken L. Not backed up with actions, really?? They jumped out of 80 year-old airplanes! I'd call that backing up the talk for sure. If the 'PJ" in your handle stands for AF Pararescue, then you've earned your opinion even if its wrong. But if it doesn't, then until you've jumped out of a damn airplane to honor our vets, don't be disparaging the actions of those who have.
