Try “not anything like at all”

AG Barr: "As we've been watching the coverage of June 6, 1944 D-Day, I had the thought that my arrival this time felt a little bit, I think, like jumping into Sainte-Mère-Église on the morning of June 5, trying to figure out where you could land without getting shot." pic.twitter.com/D36xU0uYSj

He’s far smarter, but he really is cut from the same cloth as Mr. “avoiding STDs was my personal ‘Nam”.
Sainte-Mère-Église? Who fed him that factoid?
One of the more disastrous botched parachute drops. The Americans landed during a fire, so all the Germans were already on alert. They came down into direct fire. The image was dramatized in the movie ‘The Longest Day,’ implying that the whole unit was massacred. I saw elsewhere that about 17 men were killed.
Its the kind of detail that Cheeto wouldn’t remember, even if coached. I Barr remembering the movie, or did some hireling look it up for him.
