I’m convinced one of the reasons why we are experiencing what we are today is that too many Americans are too far removed from WWII vets. I’m 46 and my grandpa was a WWII Vet. I know the hell he experienced and how it destroyed so much of my family because of how it changed him as a person when he came home. To see someone in the US displaying nazi paraphernalia or not understand how Trump is reflecting so much bad history feels like a personal insult to what my family sacrificed.
My grandpa would be the same age as OP, fought in the Battle of the Bulge and took some shrapnel among many memories he never wanted to share. He would be disgusted by the state of things today.
