Letters: D-day was more than a ‘thing’

Re “Bet on a dark horse in 2016,” Opinion, Feb. 11

Jonah Goldberg refers to the Allied invasion of Normandy in World War II as “that whole invading-Europe-and-defeating-Hitler thing.”

Thousands of Allied soldiers gave their lives for freedom in that “thing.”

Referring to one of the most important events of the 20th century as a mere “thing” goes too far. Were it not for that “thing,” Goldberg might not have the freedom to be so nasty in print.
