Yahoo News reporter--a candidate for Medal of Honor in his mind

"Your task will not be an easy one. The enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle-hardened. He will fight savagely. . . I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full Victory! Good Luck! And let us all beseech the blessings of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking--General Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme Allied Commander

More than 4,400 Allied servicemen were killed in the assault, and 7,500 more were wounded or went missing, mostly Americans, but the true casualty figures were never known. What is known is that there were over 6,600 American casualties overall. The German casualty figures were never known but estimates range from 4,000 to 9,000. And these figures are just from the first day of the Battle of Normandy and by the time Normandy was fully secured, more than 425,000 casualties were inflicted on both sides and over 15,000 French civilians were killed.

Today, we have a national correspondent for Yahoo News who compared covering President Donald Trump's term in office to soldiers fighting on the bloody beaches of the Normandy Invasion, aka D-Day.

What a freaking hero. He even compared Trump supporters to the Nazis.

Alexander Nazaryan, who probably doesn't know which end of a rifle the bullet exits, has worked for Yahoo News since 2018. He made the D-Day comparison in a Thursday article originally titled "I Miss the Thrill of Trump." This brave reporter later changed the title to "I Was an Enemy of the People."

The point of Nazaryan's overly long piece was to tell his colleagues of their need to maintain an "adversarial" position toward those in power, but you can relax--the press will hardly do that with Biden.

But the salient point of the article was how he soldiered on covering Trump and compared his bravery to the men who died at the Normandy Invasion. 

Give that man a Medal of Honor.

What a brave soul this man is--he reminds me of Brian Williams and Hillary Clinton all rolled up into one, covered in a bun of Richard Blumenthal, all war heroes they have claimed. All targets of enemies with guns. Google them.

Feeling the thrill yet?

“Covering the administration was thrilling for many journalists, in the way that I imagine storming Omaha Beach must have been for a 20-year-old fresh from the plains of Kansas,” Nazaryan wrote. “He hadn’t signed up for battle, but there he was, liberating France.”

To refer to the storming of a beach under heavy enemy fire as "thrilling" is proof this moron has no idea of the terror that was endured that day. He obviously has never been to war or if he had been and was fired upon and felt thrilled, he is a bigger moron than I originally thought.

Twitter users blasted the fool. Katie Pavlich of Townhall and a Fox News contributor posted:

Storming Omaha Beach was not “thrilling.” It was terrifying and a death sentence for thousands. How despicable this description is for endless reasons. Incredible ignorance and arrogance. https://t.co/TyvpFdFRl6

“When you accidentally publish your journal in the Atlantic,” mocked journalist Katie Herzog, who also pointed out the headline change.

Jeff Blehar, a journalist and cohost of a podcast for National Review, described Nazaryan’s Omaha Beach comparison:

Just an utterly breathtaking paragraph. pic.twitter.com/A2W9j7Pc2d

It's disgusting on so many levels, and hard to believe that Nazaryan is taken seriously by anyone who ever served in war, or has the imagination to understand what it must have been like on that Tuesday morning of June 6, 1944.
