This was in my e-mail today:
How Would the D-Day Invasion be Reported today?
(This is what you would hear if today's media reported on D-Day at Normandy)
June 6, 1944. -NORMANDY- Three hundred French civilians were killed
and thousands more wounded today in the first hours of America's
invasion of continental Europe. Casualties were heaviest among women
and children. Most of the French casualties were the result of
artillery fire from American ships attempting to knock out German
fortifications prior to the landing of hundreds of thousands of U.S.
troops. Reports from a makeshift hospital in the French town of St.
Mere Eglise said the carnage was far worse than the French had
anticipated and reaction against the American invasion was running
high. "We are dying for no reason," said a Frenchman speaking on
condition of anonymity. "Americans can't even shoot straight. I never
thought I'd say this, but life was better under Adolph Hitler."
The invasion also caused severe environmental damage. American troops,
tanks, trucks and machinery destroyed miles of pristine shoreline and
thousands of acres of ecologically sensitive wetlands. It was believed
that the habitat of the spineless French crab was completely wiped
out, threatening the species with extinction. A representative of
Greenpeace said his organization, which had tried to stall the
invasion for over a year, was appalled at the destruction, but not
surprised. "This is just another example of how the military destroys
the environment without a second thought," said Christine Moanmore.
"And it's all about corporate greed." Contacted at his Manhattan
condo, a member of the French government-in-exile who abandoned Paris
when Hitler invaded said the invasion was based solely on American
financial interests. "Everyone knows that President Roosevelt has ties
to big beer," said Pierre LeWimp. "Once the German beer industry is
conquered, Roosevelt's beer cronies will control the world market and
make a fortune."
My response:
