We'd never gotten ashore as the NYT and CNN would have leaked the plan.

They would have excoriated the Sherman as a flawed tank and questioned why the Germans had better tanks such as the Panther and Tiger.

The initial strategy and failure to rapidly move out of the bocage area of France would have been faulted to the nth degree.

But with FDR as president....probably nothing critical aimed at his direction.

Also one thing. The Leftists were definitely on our side because we were fighting on the side of their beloved Soviet Union.

They would demand to know if Ike had an “exit strategy” or worry that our response was “disproportionate”. Thousands died on D-Day, but today’s media reports on every death in Iraq or Afghanistan.
