Oh, and it was more than just Americans that fought the Second World War. There was Brits, the French (even if the leaders surrendered), many many asians suffered at the hands of the Japanese, the Egyptians helped us, so did the Canadians and the Ozzies. Just you remember that, those of you who said its all about the americans.
*salute* Yes, I'm a liberal. And no, I'm not what you would call pro-military. But this brought a (metaphorical) tear to my eye. Any human loss is far too many, regardless of nationality. So don't think this is a pro-American military YTMND. It's honoring the sacrifice that thousands made for the lives of others. Though I can't rate this as anything less than a five would be disrespectful, but the site itself does not deserve a 5. Also, 666 is NOT the devil's number. Mathematicians redid the math, it's 616
All right, listen up: No, the US didnt win the war on its own; victory over the Germans was a team effort. The Soviets did lots of the heavy lifting, the British and later Americans kept German troops tied down in the south while preparing the invasion, and the Americans provided the Allies with the industrial muscle needed to win out. As for those of you who think this site is just trying to capitalize on peoples emotions, its funny to think that someone cant make a tribute to the sacrifice of so many
The numbers 666 mean nothing, the actual "sign" of the the devil is 6106, the 66 was a misinterpretation. An ancient greek game with numbers and letters reveals that 6106 stands for Niro, which was the ruling emperor at that time. Basically the bible is stating that Niro is the devil, nothing more. People blew it way out of proportions.
without someone saying that its there to take advantage of those who fought. Its a tribute to the soldiers, nothing more, and nothing less. As for the sound, not much would be respectable. And to all the satanists, racists, and Neo-Nazis trying to attack the site, just shut up. Youre the scum of the world, everyones heard what you have to say, and everyone hates your message.
WERE IN YOUR BASE KILLING YOU DOODS thats what I would say if i was a uncaring dumb sh*t but some people dont realise what people had to go through to have us able to be free how we are today so please stop and rember they sacrificed so much to keep us free so take a minute to respect and rember them
Santabot- "It REALLY, REALLY seems true that any YTMNDers with seniority (no, not
'05/'06 bullsh*t) have a common sense of humor and vote the same. People
who are fanboys who just pop on this site because a friend of a friend of a
friend linked a piece of sh*t site to them and made them "LOOLLO!1!1" seem
to be voting this worthless sh*t up to Top 5 and U&C lately, this sh*t has
got to stop."(CALM THE f*ck DOWN. ITS A WEBSITE. DON'T LOSE YOUR PANTIES OVER IT)
This screws over all known ytmnd conventions and is not funny but emotional to boot. I salute you for making this and I thank you for reminding me of all that could have been lost... As you hear the whirring of bullets just think that if they took another path all of history from that day to this could have been entirely different.
To all of the ignorant stupid *ss comments, i simply made this ytmnd to glorify the people lost in all of world war 2. I had no idea today was 6/6/06, but I do know that june 6th 1944 was the best day in history. without the allies winning you f*ggots would NOT BE HERE right now to be able to vote. Shut the f*ck up .
CurdyButt, I left a comment on your site, not you. Your repeated comments confirm my suspicion that this site was made not out of any deep appreciation for our veterans, but rather with standard ytmnd aspirations. Which is fine, but you have little room to complain about getting 1'd. It isn't a downvote. This site sucks, lacking the intertextuality found in good ytmnds. moreover, the image sucks, and the sound sucks. a lame tribute to the troops, it lacks also genuine, sincere, intent.
The sound sucks? Hard to replicate real gunfire. As close as it will get. The picture? Actual screenshot of d-day, during which our men died. How does it suck? It's not like i took a f*cking coloring book and drew penises on it to make it a fake picture. I made this site with the upmost intent, not a f*ggy short film, to recognize a day which determined how idiots like you would be born
Your inane logic fails along with your presence, which shows absolutely no knowledge of what you're talking about. There are TONS of YTMND's that aren't made to be funny (Dante's Inferno ytmnds) and just realize that for every bullet you hear in this ytmnd, has killed someone. Hundreds of thousands.
Britain would've been invaded if it weren't for assistance the US gave. Russia would've lost millions more soldiers if we hadn't opened up a Western front. And in regards to the heavy casualties on Omaha beach, the entire allied force knew it was the lest suited for landing but was also the most necessary. If no one took Omaha, there would be a giant gap in between the two halfs of the beach invasion and it would give the germans enough time to launch an effective counter attack. The germans knew this too.
Which is why they made omaha the best defended beach of them all. Casualties would've been just as bad or worse if the Brits or Canadians had landed there. So shut the f*ck up, crazy. By the way, the Brits weren't sent because they had already suffered too many casualties trying to defend Europe before we came to their aid. Just accept that the war was one by every allied country and it might not have been without every one.
@KingNothing: Yeah but their landing was hard. Omaha was a cock-up (the tanks where lanched WAY too far out and all sank) @Crazy: Oh no, we badly needed American resources, however the yanks forget they badly needed the technology the others (manly British) had. Their stuff was sh*t, but they could make a hell of a lot of it unlike the Germans.
crazy, you have no knowledge of history or the situation of 1944. Without the United States involved, there would be no Lend-Lease agreement, meaning the Soviets and the British would not have access to American manufacturing facilites and therefore could not produce weapons of war. The British would be bombing at night without much accuracy, doing without the accuracy of the daylight raids of the Americans. The Soviets would have won eventually, yes, probably by 1948 or 1949 and Europe would have been
Oh and PoisonedAl, don't forget that the other American Beach, Utah, went off more smoothly than any other landing. Only 197 casualties at Utah beach. About 2000 on Omaha. Together they equal about the same as both British beaches put together. About about 1000 each on Gold and Sword. I'm unsure about Juno, so I don't know how Canadian casualties compare.
@KalleR The Red army had the most motivated men (no heros, they HATED the Germans) and the best tanks (they didn't brake down all the time like the German's tanks and didn't burst into flames like the American built ones did at the slightest knock). In fact, we all needed everyone to win. However the side that contributed most to the allied victory was the German's. Without their leader going nuts and trying to micromanage EVERYTHING, it would have been a lot harder for as.
WTF this isn't the god damn history channel this YTM-f*cking-ND. I don't come here to see this sh*t on my top 15 take this the f*ck down you losers and stop thinking you're patriotic cause you upvoted it you stupid bastards. you haven't seen sh*t. america sucks now anyways god damn it.
