OPERATION MARKET GARDEN---NO GARDEN PARTY!

On September 17, 1944, Operation Market Garden was set in motion.  Four and a half months after D-Day, British Field Marshal Montgomery launched Operation Market Garden with 30,000 airborne troops dropping into Holland.  The object was to capture the bridges over Dutch waterways to give allied troops access to Germany. 
Surprised at first German troops quickly recovered and launched a very effective counter attack resulting in a failed mission and 17,200 allied casualties.  Germany suffered 9,500 total casualties. 
The movie "A Bridge Too Far" was based on this battle........Medicineman!

BOTTOM LINE!

Donald Trump is an arrogant loud mouth.  He is also "in your face" with some of his answers.  Mostly to the (Hillary) Press.  He angers people when he talks, not because of what he says but how he says it.  Trump is not a likable person.  BUT!  keep in mind this;  the next president will appoint at least two supreme court judges and maybe three.  NOW WHO DO YOU WANT TO MAKE THOSE APPOINTMENTS?............Medicineman!
