    Not just Operation Overlord (which I’m betting this jamoke doesn’t even know), but all kinds of military operations were postponed due to weather and other reasons. It’s how strategy works. I assume the extent of guy’s military expertise stops at shouting racist slurs while playing COD, and I even say this as a not-actually-an-expert type of person.
