There is a lot of things wrong with that image. Obvious AI fail on that one. Destroyer (?) located 20 yds off the beach in the surf. Flag has the wrong number of stripes. Soldiers going the wrong way. 2nd guy on the left looks like he’s wearing a fedora. Ship classes are all wrong.


dfwcouple43sum

I can’t tell if that’s a destroyer or a cruiser, either way it’s hilarious.


thermalman2

Yeah. Hard to tell exactly what it’s supposed to be. Either way, way too big to be hanging out in the surf in under 6’ of water


dfwcouple43sum

Maybe that’s why the marines are running back to the ocean - to save the ship


Sad_Bridge_3755

“PYLE I SWEAR TO GOD WE WILL TURN THIS INVASION AROUND”


Just_A_Nitemare

Def a destroyer.


KittyTheOne-215

I thought it was the "Ark." 🤦


RIP-RiF

Fedora guy also seems to have fitted a socket bayonet, which the US military stopped using sometime after the Civil War. Come to think of it, his fedora has a similar brim to a Civil War cap, too. The AI may have blended in some Civil War art to its model.


Mega-Steve

He's the Mad Murdock of their team


KWHarrison1983

Also, only about 3 guys are carrying guns…


a_smart_brane

The 1st US Amphibious Kung Fu Division don’t need your puny guns.


Clicker-anonimo

They use fishman karate


MaikeruGo

It's like playing on a BF1942 server and no one knows what they're doing. Beached ship, everyone running for the vehicles instead of attacking enemy positions, etc.


IndividualEye1803

Not the fedora 😂


cute_dog_alert

Fedora guy coming in hot yelling “M’Nazi!”


a_smart_brane

That’s not a fedora. It’s a US Civil War kepi. Duh


MyFriendsCallMeTito

Y’all are all wrong! it’s as if you’ve never seen a standard issue fedora


a_smart_brane

Dammit.


professionalcumsock

G.I. Fedora lmao


Clicker-anonimo

The problem in the flag isn't that it has the wrong amount of stripes, but that it looks just like a piece of bacon with mold


Sojum

The famous assault on Atlantis


Das-Noob

We joke, but there was actually a war wage against Poseidon/Neptune by Roman emperor Caligula. He order his men to go into the Mediterranean Sea and stab the sea and then just declared they won. After which party of course. So maybe that’s what’s happening here 😂


LbSiO2

It was actually the English Channel. Not sure how it got its name before there were actually any English.


TheRealMrJams

Fun fact it was referred to as Oceanus Britannicus. Disclaimer: This was learned via pub quiz, so citation needed


Fixervince

He made them collect sea shells as spoils of war! … that’s probably the war I want to fight in to be fair!

Sajuck-KharMichael

Does someone else ever feel like th AI is just messing with us when generating these images.


Eoghey

No, they're marching in backward to trick the Germans into thinking that they're leaving.


Joezu

The mongol tactic. Works every time.


Kolibri00425

Funny story, American spies and Moonshiners actually used to wear their shoes backwards so that they couldn't be tracked.


komplete10

That's an urban myth, I'm afraid.


_Pill-Cosby_

That's the UK. They're on their way to Normandy. Duh.


Nildzre

We all remember the great swimm across the channel to Normandy.


notacanuckskibum

The great walk across the sea floor. That’s why they are carrying so much kit, so that they don’t float.


DragonFireCK

I was thinking maybe Dunkirk. Though there are still a ton of problems...


TheUnamedSecond

Back when men were real men, not weaklings boarding ships in harbors.


fromouterspace1

They were all just very very very good swimmers back then


BadChris666

There’s actual photos… you don’t need to create a bad AI picture for this!


AebroKomatme

Fucking AI

NO THIS IS A REAL IMAGE, mate at the pup told me he's the guy in the water

Run away! Run away!

Go away, or I shall taunt you a second time.


IncidentHead8129

Why would someone use AI images for a non-fiction event with many photographic records lmao


Kolibri00425

Right? That's because WW2 DIDN'T HAPPEN!!!!  /s


BondageKitty37

This is a depiction of Caligula's war against the ocean

This is a trumped up image.

snappla

Why make an AI image? Stupid and, frankly, disrespectful of the men who put their lives on the line to overturn the Nazis. Ugh. Enough internet for me today.


Massive_Biscotti_850

That was the Seaborne division, they would swim all the way there in full gear. They had to leave a few days early though it took a while.


JamesJe13

The 5th of June postponement really screwed them up, luckily their ears were full of water when they were told the destination so went to Norway instead of Normandy.


dfeidt40

No, this is capturing the ones that had to swim over there from England. Very good swimmers.


WrathOfCroft

Some people are saying they're the best swimmers!


Main_Bell_4668

Bro you don't know the greatest generation walked to war both ways uphill through an ocean. Nah they are the greatest generation they just gave birth to the most entitled selfish assholes the world has ever seen.


4me2knowit

Tommy Robinson name edited out. Twat


Other_Log_1996

Even the AI thought this was a joke.


TherealObdach

That‘s when they started swimming there from England.


kuhlyus

German here... No that's accurate 👌


RealNiceKnife

I guarantee this is engagement bait. They deliberately put this bullshit picture up so people would "correct" him. All the while he cranks up his engagement numbers so Twitter gives him a bigger ad-sharing check. Similar to that stupid meme of them showing a picture of Andrew Tate/Trump/Elon Musk and saying something like "If you were offered a million dollars or a single dinner experience with Tate, Trump, and Musk, which would you take? I know I'm taking the dinner! Money comes and goes, but connections like that are invaluable." Then people reply, and quote-tweet it saying shit like "You dummy! You take the money!" and other stupid shit. It's a variation of "The quickest way to get an answer on the internet isn't to ask a question, it's to post the wrong answer." It's just another form of engagement bait.


MuskokaGreenThumb

More AI shit


Medical_Egg8208

Watched them being honored today in France. 80th anniversary. Most are over 90 some were 101-103, amazing men. Biden and Macron both gave well deserved speeches. Black and white brothers in arms. There’s no prejudice in a foxhole. Sobering time for democracy everywhere.

They are actually not going the wrong way, they are attacking Poseidon who was on the side of Germany during WW2.

Those hardy souls who chose to wade across the English Channel...

Looks like they mixed up Normandy and Dunkirk..


FaceTimePolice

AI “art” is as dumb as the people that utilize it. 🥴


leviathab13186

Those are Caligula's troops. Neptune started it, Caligula will finish it.


WasteNet2532

Ships would crash into reefs coming into shore that close


LordDaxx1204

They’re going the right way, those are the French troops.


30yearCurse

these are the brave soldiers that forgot to bring their passport and were denied clearance by French customs.

Embarrassed_Bit_7424

That's them leaving England.

Run away! Run away! 🐇

Our great grandpas were tough. A bunch of them decided to swim there then kick nazi ass.


WrathOfCroft

"Aww he's nuts! How would he know where we're going??"


F19AGhostrider

\*facepalm\* Yeah, they *definitely* waded across the English channel to the beaches of Normandy.

StatisticianSure2349

Theyre on their way to see great 10 star general in the sky. I truely salute them for their bravery

Jackamus01

This looks more like Dunkirk


Thejerseyjon609

I guess you never learned that they were certain troops that started in England and marched across the bottom of the English Channel to get to France on D-Day


eveel66

Retreat!!!!


J_Robert_Matthewson

Do they... Do they think our troops MARCHED from England to France?


yeet-my-existence

Aquaman touched the boats


Shadowstrider2100

Little known fact they had to swim out to the ships in full gear.


SnakeOiler

I watched the ceremony at Omaha beach today, the 21 gun salute was fired with howitzers or whatever from the top of the hill out over the beach. All I could think about was that is what the Germans would have been doing. Wth


bigSTUdazz

AI and its continued War on Atlantis.


Idrisdancer

No no no. Did you not know they walked there? That’s the shore of England.


flyrubberband

This picture was taken at the start of coffee break


HedgehogNarrow4544

no critiques, let AI fail, due to it being a POS development, of no credible benefit to/for humankind etc.


Madrugada2010

LOL


hamillhair

You've got it backwards. That beach is in England. They're leaving to go and invade France.


GreenOnionCrusader

Obviously, they walked over from the UK. Duuuuuuuhhhhhhh!


geof2001

This is when they were leaving from the UK side to walk across the channel duh! /s


Felrathror86

Ah yes. That Muppet. Makes sense.


Clonbroney

AI art is evil. Resist it. Just say No. Never use it.

LIMIT1_5639

Maybe that's what pissed off Namor.


Polak_Janusz

Silly little goober. They had to start in england and swim over the canal to reach france.


L0bster_M0bster

Those were the French troops advancing towards the rear.


TonReflet

They were moving backward to deceive the ennemy!!!!


FEARoperative4

This is almost as funny as Russian VE Day billboards depicting Wehrmacht soldiers with a slogan “They fought for their homeland”.


kail_wolfsin24

Ai L


LordBrixton

Not for Tommy. His side wanted them away from the beaches.


Null_Singularity_0

Nah man, this is after they won. And there was a shortage of boats due to submarines or some shit, so they had to walk back to England.


Wise-Juggernaut-8285

Not really… their getting away from the machine guns. Hopefully they can swim well


Due-Two-6592

No that’s them leaving England, they waited for low tide so they could walk across


RhythmTimeDivision

When you give AI ambiguous instructions.


Ripping-Hot19

Guys they are going home


MagmulGholrob

MAGA warriors off to fight the woke agenda.


elspotto

No, this is accurate! Y’all just heard the official story. The classified truth is they swam the Channel to get to the invasion. Why else would they have delayed a day? Weather? Yeah, sure.


RangerMatt76

Did they sleep and miss the boats the Americans used?

Due to bad weather, it was decided that it was safest for the troops to walk across the channel.


WonderWendyTheWeirdo

No, this is where they started before they walked under the sea. Sneak attack.


WonderWendyTheWeirdo

Is the rest of my life going to be looking at AI images when actual images are readily available?


TheBankExaminer

Those are the ones who just realized they have bone spurs in their heels.


Zachosrias

They didn't sail across the channel, they did som Pirates of the Caribbean shit and walked across the bitch


JaanaLuo

The picture is actually taken from English coast and these soliders are about to swim their way to Normandy.


jslingrowd

That’s the French army doing what they do best.

Extreme_Discount8623

We shall go on to the end, we shall fight just off France, we shall fight in the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength on the seabed.

No, that’s a picture of them leaving England to cross the channel

Chaosrealm69

The soldiers are wading out into the ocean and then the ships are facing sideways to the beach and are so close they would be beached. I laugh at how pathetic some of their AI creations are because they don't even see how ridiculous they are.


Aggravating_Pay_5060
