Some of the men on Omaha beach.

In the wild.

As a set phrase, it refers to the Allied soldiers who took part in the D-Day Landings and in World War II more generally. Mentioning "the men on Omaha Beach" to oppose what someone else has said, or to oppose a government policy or fact of life, invokes a sense of patriotism and courage. This usually comes in the form of "the men on Omaha beach didn't die for this". On /qa/, it is usually posted along with an image of a ragebait article in the same fashion as classics like "society is collapsing", "delete /pol/", etc.

The Men on Omaha Beach also serve as a synecdoche for the entire Allied Forces' effort in defeating the Axis powers in World War II, thus preserving Anglo culture as the dominant culture among Christendom and preventing the whole of the western world to succumbing to Teutonic influence; this is because many historians consider D-Day to be the turning point in the war that shifted the balance in favor of the Allies, and the lynchpin event for an Allied victory. Thus, invoking The Men on Omaha Beach is often used when reacting to coal or worse, to express the disappointment of the poster with the sorry state that Anglo culture has devolved into, usually in the form of the sarcastic sentence of "The Men on Omaha Beach died for this."

History

The first instance on /qa/ of "the men on Omaha beach" was on 17 March, 2021. From there, it was quickly picked up (or forced) to the point where, by that same date the next month, the quip had morphed into an easily-recognisable template with varying subjects, including the Russians at Stalingrad, the witches at Salem, and the children at the Waco siege. "Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin become the first men to step foot on Omaha beach for this" was uttered for the first time in history.
