How exactly did we get here?
The United States has been fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq (yes, we still have troops fighting there) for 15-plus years. Those troops are saddled with more rules of engagement than you can shake a stick at (at least they were under Obama; perhaps that has eased somewhat).
For some reason, Hollywood leftists love, or pretend to, "the Greatest Generation." But if you watch either of the excellent HBO miniseries Band of Brothers and The Pacific, you'll see that by today's standards, by which the left judges all history and historical figures (see the desecration of Confederate monuments in the South and the ongoing attempt to denigrate the Founding Fathers, many of whom were, after all, slave-owners), most of the characters in those television series would be tried and convicted as war criminals in some absurd "international court," probably in the Hague.
In fact, FDR and his successor, Harry Truman, would, again by the left's standards of today, be branded as two of the biggest war criminals in history, right alongside Hitler – FDR for his campaign of "total war," which included the area bombing of many German cities and the firebombing of most Japanese cities, including the March 12-13 raid on Tokyo, which killed over a hundred thousand people, mostly civilians, and, of course, Truman for unleashing hell on Earth, not once, but twice, in the form of two atomic bombs, the only man so far in history to have ordered the use of nuclear weapons.

Bommers swoon at the heroism of “The Greatest Generation”
Presumably they extoll their values, right..?
Yet “Bring it all down, baby..!” “Do it in the ROAD..!!!”
I never could quite square that circle.
“How exactly did we get here?”

Let me guess... and I think its a very good guess
Hitlers partners slithered back to the mideast unscathed and there are still NAZIS walking amongst the europeans... Merkel is one.

“The only religion I respect is ISLAM and the only prophet I believe is prophet Mohammed... “ .... Aug 1943 Adolf Hitler
Like Hitler, it needs to be squashed!

Sometimes it’s best to just ignore certain replies
Muslim Useful Idiots
According to Karl Marx, to start a Communist Revolution, one must have disgruntled workers who will rise up and destroy their government, and once the existing government is destroyed, Communists will quickly fill the void with a Communist dictatorship. As there aren’t sufficient numbers of disgruntled workers in the United States for Communists to use in a revolution, Communists intend to split American culture along race and class lines and set off a “proletarian” revolution to destroy Capitalism. The Left managed to elect a half-Black Marxist radical Muslim as President and their revolution was proceeding along very predictable lines, with Obama using every opportunity to stir up more division and discontent. A reading of the Constitution of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA at this link should make clear their goals and methods: http://revcom.us/Constitution/constitution.html
As for Germany, there too you will find insufficient disgruntled workers to use to foment a Communist Revolution, so Germany’s Marxist PM, Angela Merkel, and the other Marxist Communists in her government are preparing Germany for a Communist Revolution by allowing an invasion of savage Muslim “useful idiots” to start a civil war within their country. Merkel’s government can then use this civil war as an excuse to suspend their constitution and declare Martial Law, but once Germany loses its Democratic government to the Communists, they’ll never get it back, and what’s left of the invading Muslim “useful idiots” after Germany’s civil war/Communist Revolution ends, will go the way of all “useful idiots” after communist revolutions: A single bullet behind the ear.
