HOW THE D-DAY INVASION WOULD BE REPORTED BY TODAY'S PRESS

NORMANDY , FRANCE

[snip]

Several thousand Americans died during the first hours of the invasion,
and French officials are concerned that the uncollected corpses will
pose a public-health risk. "The Americans should have planned for this
in advance," they said. "It's their mess, and we don't intend to help
clean it up."


Yup, sounds right, totally ignore the other guys involvement, (mostly
Brits and Canucks in this case) and claim John Wayne won the war by himself.

Cheers
