Like many other leftwing cultists who glorify the accomplishments of New Dealers in the 1940s, few realize the boys who [[Normandy Invasion|stormed the beaches at Normandy]] to defend democracy and defeat fascism were virtually all [[heterosexual]] white men - whom liberals demonize today - as the U.S. Armed Services were segregated by race and blacks denied frontline combat roles until 1947, and [[homosexual]]s were banned until 1993.
