I had started this thinking of ways to say NUTs to Trump but fear that would make him as stupid and as self-destructive as the Germans became, but damaging too many others with his vindictive responses. So I'll have to settle for some examples of relatives who put in the efforts and dedication, and in one case the ultimate sacrifice.

We often visit the grave of one of my wife's uncles (lost near Sainteny, Normandy on July 11th, 1944. That uncle was on her father's side. Another of her uncles (on her mother's side), was part of Patton's 3rd Army and was found unconscious by the side of the road with frost bitten feet during the Battle of the Bulge. He didn't regain consciousness until he found himself in a hospital in England.
I had always thought the uncle lost at Sainteny was in a unit of inexperienced new troops and might even have been killed (with 3 others) by our own artillery support when they were able to advance further than expected.
They had only been in combat a week when he was lost, but the 329th Infantry Regiment learned quickly and were not in desperate straights during the Battle of the Bulge like some units with many new troops. They had made the deepest penetration into Germany at one point that winter a bit further north.
