Re-writing history – leaving the girl queen out

I am not a fan of Royalty, but I do notice the pattern of the day to do a 1984 on history.

After the self-serving job on Bill Clinton, here comes a new twist where D Day is celebrated by collaborationists while the actual fighters are left out.

The queen, who is 83, is the only living head of state who served in uniform during World War II. As Elizabeth Windsor, service number 230873, she volunteered as a subaltern in the Women’s Auxiliary Territorial Service, training as a driver and a mechanic. Eventually, she drove military trucks in support roles in England.

And who is participating? TIME refers to a Daily Mail article that sheds some light

Sarkozy’s Hungarian-born father celebrated D-Day by fleeing collaborationist Budapest for Nazi-controlled Germany to escape advancing Soviet troops. The same story also alleges that the family of Sarkozy’s current wife, industrial scion Carla Bruni Sarkozy, had been pretty chummy with Mussolini.

but NYT had the interesting reason

In Britain, commentators have suggested that Mr. Sarkozy did not want to share the telegenic moment when he hosts Mr. Obama.

But of course. We know old women should sit down and shut up…

As for blaming the entire mess on France, I have my doubts on this. Maybe because my memory goes as far as last month. Us old women tend to have this penchant

If the event was design as “Franco-American” – where is the American part in all this?
