Leftists stage mock reenactment of iconic Iwo Jima photo using state’s new Somali-inspired flag

Chris Donaldson

A group of Minnesota leftists sparked anger and mockery over their staged reenactment of the raising of the U.S. flag on Iwo Jima, one of the most iconic photos in the nation’s history.

The Battle of Iwo Jima was a pivotal World War II confrontation between American troops and the entrenched Imperial Japanese forces that took place on the small, strategically located island in the Pacific Ocean, one of the bloodiest battles of the entire war.

Only this time, instead of six U.S. Marines hoisting Old Glory atop the carnage on Mount Suribachi, it was a handful of spiteful mutant losers spitting on the memory of those brave heroes who sacrificed their lives so that they would be free to defile their memory, and using the state’s new Somali-inspired flag to boot.

The stunt was as insulting as it was pathetic and appears to be the idea of Anton Treuer, a professor of Ojibwe at Bemidji State University, another of the left-wing lunatics poisoning the minds of the young on the nation’s campuses.

If Professor Treuer’s intent was to deeply insult veterans in general and Marines in particular, well done. Mick sends.

Man they have a lot of disgusting and stupid white people in Minnesota.

The SNCOIC of the Recruiting Office Hack was sent to was from Minnesota. Can’t argue with your assessment. Dumber than a box of rocks, but not as useful as a box of rocks. Everyone hated him. The Recruiters. The Career Recruiters. The kids. The parents. His wife. Command finally wised up to his shady shit and kicked him to the curb at about the 15 year mark. Hack was sporting wood when he found Gunny Needledick’s mugshot on line. Apparently you can get arrested for violating restraining orders in Hennepin County.

By the way, he drove a Yugo. You should hate him just for that.

Keep in mind the best governor they ever elected was a phony Navy SEAL professional wrestler with a double digit IQ and no leadership experience. He beat the rest of them by a country mile.

Interesting. I never heard about his post war service in the Reserves on a SEAL team. I’d always heard he had been on UDT in Vietnam and that was it.

In the Army if you go to Ranger School and never serve in a Ranger unit or go to Airborne School and never serve in an Airborne unit, it’s gay risque to go around claiming you are a Ranger or Airborne because it creates a misconception. That doesn’t appear to be the case here.

Don Shipley is well recognized as the definitive word on this subject so I will take his word for it.

Lower double digits!

First time I ever saw the left pretending that copping an unwanted feel wasn’t sexual assault.

Semper Pathetic.

Semper Fug ’em.

I’ll plant that flag for them. 😉

Plant them first.
Then plant the flag on their gravesite

Old tanker

Nope. Drop them, then cremate the remains including the flag. Let the winds scatter the ashes across the great lakes. Leave no martyr location to be found for other mental midgets in the future.

They didn’t meet as much resistance as the marines did while they pulled their dick move. They would quite possibly, literally shit themselves if someone was still shooting at them as they planted their “flag”.

What a bunch of losers.
They can’t make their own iconic photos, so they steal from the rest of us.
Not a single original thought in that group.

Hack Stone

Isn’t this Cultural Appropriation?

This is the second time leftist losers have done this. You may recall that back in 2020-21 they photoshopped the image to be a bunch of gay dudes raising the gay pride flag.

As a relative of one of the original flag raisers (who did not make it home) I was infuriated. They tried to say that if those men were alive today they’d have supported the LGBTQIALMNOP crowd — which is an enormous stretch (and easy to say when they’re all dead and cannot speak for themselves…)

When these fucks wreck their hands on exploding flash bangs or get their asses stomped for interfering with federal agents, it brings me great pleasure. They need the hard reset and or permanent reminder that it they are on the wrong side of history.

Bastards.

Sorry Mom, I know you taught us not to use the word, but I HATE them for this. And dad, even though you were Army type, you have got to be rolling in your grave.

Minor note for Ed that the Minnesota flag isn’t actually based on the Somalia one, much like Top Gun, sadly, isn’t based on a true story, no matter how much one ‘feels the need for speed’:
