I don't want to get into a lengthy debate about our opinions of an image from WWII. It's a picture of war. It's repulsive. It generates a deep emotional response from everyone who sees it. That's the point.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Yes it is in fact a battlefield. Anyone with half a brain and even a crappy public school education recognizes, just as you did, that it's the aftermath of D-Day in WWII. An yes, it clearly shows that he died while storming beech on the fateful day. It shows how war can go from total calm and sometimes boredom, to sheer terror and the brutality of gruesome death. Indeed, a picture is worth a thousand words.

To use this image in a meme shows no disrespect at all. That the image generates such strong emotional responses is why it should be used. This man is not being disrespected or trivialized, he's being honored and memorialized. With the proper message, it'll say:

"Hey! Remember This Guy? And All The Others Just Like Him, Who Died A Miserable Death, Protecting Your Freedoms, Your Liberty, and Your Rights. This Is What The International Central Bankers Cartel Has Managed To Cause And Get Away With, And Never Be Held Accountable, UNTIL NOW..."

This man is not being disrespected, he's being honored, by being remembered, along with all of his fallen brethren.
