VE DAY 75 YEARS LATER

[pocketshaver]

unfortunately that era is LONG gone. LONG GONE. That fact makes the interviews done for band of brothers and pacific even more important for this age of idiocy. makes "they shall not grow old" even more pivotal.

nowadays some of todays "greatest" movers and shakers in politics and business were rich shites that dodged the draft for NAM,,, while hundreds of thousands of 14-17 year olds LIED to get into the military just so that they could do what needed to be done. That's the irony few think about.

Once upon a time a 14 year old would lie to get into the service, fully expecting to get killed off within a year of doing so, but yet not regretting doing so when they are 70 year old grandfathers bouncing grand kids on their knees. Yet the biggest names in business and politics happily dodged the draft, and spit on servicemen who didn't have the ability, or desire to dodge the jungle draft.
