Did You know - James Doohan was shot 6 times and lost a finger during the D-Day landings? Desperate to hide this fact, he performed his duties on the Star Ship Enterprise with his hand concealed or was 'hand doubled' by a fellow actor. For other appearances, he wore a flesh-coloured glove with a fake digit to reassure fans the star ship was in safe hands.

Eagle-eyed Trekkies have spotted Doohan's missing finger in less composed shots, including the 1967 'Cats Paw' episode and 1967's 'The Trouble with Tribbles'.

Doohan's D-Day Experiences:

Landing on Juno Beach:

Doohan and his unit landed on Juno Beach on D-Day, facing initial resistance from German forces.

Leading his men:

He led his men through a minefield and into a defensive position.

Wounded on D-Day:

Later that evening, Doohan was shot six times by a nervous Canadian sentry who mistook him for the enemy.

Survived the attack:

One bullet was stopped by his cigarette case, and his right middle finger had to be amputated.

Pilot and Observation Officer:

Doohan was also a pilot and Artillery Forward Observation Officer (FOO) and later trained to fly aircraft.

Doohan's D-Day experiences, including his injuries and the impact on his life, are often recounted as part of his story and legacy.

What is this, a CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) woke panel turning on the Carney Liberals ?

The objective is to confuse everyone so they don't know what to think.

They’re openly admitting the Liberals used their stolen majority to ram through controversial bills like C-22 with almost zero debate, zero proper study, and zero real witnesses.

Amendments shoved down everyone’s throats at the literal last minute.

Frank Caputo nailed it — this isn’t how Parliament is supposed to work. And now even some voices on the CBC are saying it’s unprecedented and wrong.

This is what happens when you hand these people a majority they didn’t truly earn at the ballot box.

They don’t debate.

They don’t listen.

They just force it through.

Democracy isn’t supposed to look like this.

Why Japanese Troops Were Ordered NEVER to Shoot the "Guy on the Bulldozer"

-AmericanExceptionalism May 23, 2026

..On the island battlefields of the Pacific, the Japanese Imperial Army had studied every American weapon — the fighter planes, the naval guns, the flamethrowers, the Marines. But nothing prepared them for the man on the bulldozer. The US Navy Seabees were combat construction battalions assigned to build airstrips, roads, and fortifications in the middle of active fighting, often while battles were still raging around them. At first, Japanese snipers and machine gun crews inside reinforced pillboxes saw an obvious target — an unarmed construction worker sitting completely exposed on a piece of farm equipment. They shot at him. That was the last mistake they ever made. The Seabees had armored their bulldozers with thick steel plating, and when the shooting started, the man on the bulldozer didn't run. He lowered his blade, put the machine in gear, and drove straight into the fire.

What happened next became one of the most psychologically devastating tactics of the entire Pacific War. The armored Seabee would push massive walls of earth directly over the firing slit of the bunker — tons of dirt, compacted and unstoppable — sealing the Japanese soldiers inside their own fortification while they were still alive. There was no escape, no counter-move, no way to fight back against several tons of steel and earth moving toward you at walking pace. Word spread fast through Japanese units: shooting at the bulldozer was a guaranteed, inescapable death sentence. Imperial commanders eventually issued orders telling their troops never to engage the Seabees — because every time they did, the bunker crew died buried alive, and the airstrip got built anyway.

then why didn't they just use a dozer on all the Japanese gun nests?
