LL and TWK - thank you for the above posts.
My uncle was a Marine at Tarawa - and survived.
The flag was planted on Iwo - atop Mt. Suribachi - playing word games with that event sacred to Marines everywhere is typical of DPST political lies. They will do anything to politicize an event and ascribe it to being caused by Trump.
J666 - "That's all you need to know", but will never know much of anything.

You should know that, your Uncle should have told you. The Marines crawled up that mountain through black volcanic sand to plant that Flag, they didn’t jump off a boat and raise the flag on the fucking beach.
Now, my comment was in regard to the fat lying bastard rolling back regulations in 2017 that made purchasing a firearm more difficult for folks with mental illnesses. Then stands up and blames mental illness for a mass murder.
