The Issue: President Biden’s remarks during a speech honoring the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings.
I sat and listened to our Imbecile-in-Chief give his speech commemorating D-Day (“Our sitting president,” June 7).
Doing so, I remembered the words of an old soldier I knew who told me that if he knew that his sacrifice was to be squandered for millions of migrants invading this country and committing crimes. he never would have enlisted.

Instead of D-Day, the focus was on our president’s instability on the world stage.
“Slip Slidin’ Away” used to denote a Simon & Garfunkel classic. Today, it is a sign of the Biden administration. As Biden continues to slip, literally and figuratively, America’s stature diminishes as well.

The Post’s excerpted 1984 Reagan D-Day tribute brought both a sense of amazement and grief as to what our great country once was (“The Boys of Pointe du Hoc,” Post Opinion, June 7).
I compare and contrast the masculinity of teens and young adults of 80 years ago to what passes for manhood across various parts of America today, and it leaves nothing but sadness for what men have become.

I thank The Post for honoring D-Day and remembering the soldiers who fought for our freedom. However, let’s not forget that former President Donald Trump declared that former POW and late Sen. John McCain wasn’t a war hero and that fallen soldiers in French cemeteries were “losers and suckers.”

We live in troubled times as wars and political unrest threaten to overwhelm us. And while there seems no end in sight to it all, we could do well to remember that 80 years ago, the free world came together to confront the Nazis and genocide.

In the movie “Gladiator,” Roman General Maximus tells his legionnaires, as they are about to take on the barbarian hordes who are terrorizing Germania, “What you do today will echo into eternity.” D-Day was one of those days.

The Issue: Jordan Williams’ belief that fellow vigilante Daniel Penny should be convicted of manslaughter.
Fellow vigilante Jordan Williams says he hopes that Marine vet Daniel Penny is convicted for killing Jordan Neely last year (“Tale of 2 subway killers,” June 2).
Williams, however, seems to have a short memory. He was in a subway car with his girlfriend when they were terrorized and threatened by 36-year-old thug Devictor Ouedraogo.
Williams made the quick decision to defend himself and his girlfriend with a knife and stabbed the man to death.
He was not, however, in that subway car when Jordan Neely began to threaten and terrorize people. Daniel Penny made a decision to defend himself and others from Neely. He did not use a knife and did not intend to kill Neely.
Williams is very quick to see a man’s life destroyed even though he was in a similar situation.

I guess there is no honor among vigilantes.
Williams, who killed a man on the subway, says fellow vigilante Penny — who also killed a man on the train — should be convicted.
If Williams wants to play the race card regarding his case, then I suggest that Penny too identify as an African-American. Nowadays that is a golden ticket to a slap-on-the-wrist verdict.
