How a WWII Marine Corps Veteran's viral breakdown was misinterpreted by all | History in the Dark
In August of 2022, 🦊 of Tampa Bay, Florida interviewed Marine Corps. veteran Sergeant Carl S. Dekle who served in the Pacific theatre of World War II. While it was meant to be for his 100th birthday, Sergeant Carl Dekle would suffer an emotional breakdown regarding the modern state of America. The clip quickly went viral, and was used to try and push a whole bunch of different agendas and narratives because Sergeant Dekle never specified what he was truly upset about specifically during that interview. In this video, I want to set the record straight regarding his actual views and hopefully, somewhat, push back against the onslaught of misinformation.
The video above is NOT the video that 🦊 and others tried to exploit. This video is a historical look into the history of Carl Dekle, a HERO

Over the past century, the landscape of U.S. citizens' rights has undergone profound transformation. From 1922 to today, America's journey toward expanding and refining civil liberties reveals a complex tapestry of progress and ongoing challenges. This blog post explores how citizens' rights have evolved over this period and evaluates whether these changes signify improvement or deterioration.
In 1922, the concept of citizenship and its accompanying rights were markedly different from today's standards. At this time, racial segregation, gender inequality, and limited civil liberties were deeply ingrained in American society. The 1920s saw the consolidation of the Jim Crow laws in the South, which institutionalized racial discrimination and disenfranchisement. Women had just achieved the right to vote with the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920, but their legal and social equality was far from complete. LGBTQ+ rights were virtually nonexistent, and immigration laws were restrictive, severely limiting opportunities for many non-European groups.
The mid-20th century heralded a wave of significant civil rights advancements. The civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s led to landmark legislative changes, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. These laws dismantled the formal structures of racial segregation and discrimination, granting African Americans greater access to voting, education, and employment. The feminist movement also gained momentum during this period, advocating for gender equality and culminating in the Equal Pay Act of 1963 and Title IX in 1972, which significantly improved women's rights in education and employment.
In the latter part of the 20th century and into the 21st, there have been further strides toward inclusivity and equal protection. The 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) marked a major advancement for individuals with disabilities, ensuring their right to access public spaces and opportunities. The legalization of same-sex marriage in 2015, following the Supreme Court's decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, was a historic milestone for LGBTQ+ rights. Additionally, the introduction of laws and policies aimed at addressing systemic inequalities, such as criminal justice reform and initiatives to protect transgender rights, reflect ongoing efforts to broaden the scope of civil liberties.
However, the journey has not been without setbacks. Recent years have seen significant debates and controversies around voting rights, particularly regarding voter suppression and gerrymandering. Efforts to secure voting access for marginalized communities have faced numerous challenges. Moreover, issues of racial and economic inequality remain persistent, despite legal advancements. The disproportionate impact of mass incarceration on communities of color and the struggles faced by immigrants and refugees continue to underscore the need for comprehensive reform.
In conclusion, while America's evolution in citizens' rights from 1922 to today demonstrates undeniable progress, it also highlights the complexities and challenges that persist. The expansion of civil liberties and protections for various groups reflects a broader commitment to justice and equality. Yet, as new issues emerge and societal dynamics shift, the quest for a more equitable society continues. The historical trajectory underscores the importance of vigilance and advocacy in the ongoing effort to ensure that the promise of citizenship is realized for all Americans.
