Thank you for your service.
This is all fine by me but
2025-98 = 1927
1945-1927 = 18
1939-1927 = 12
🤨You should look into how many people lied about their age and enlisted.
An example: Jack Lucas. Born 1928, enlisted in '42 at 14. Invaded Iwo Jima. Received the Medal of Honor at 17 when he jumped on a grenade and survived. He went back to high school to get his diploma.
The Nazi’s don’t care how old I am. They’ll kill me anyway.
Yeah, once upon a time, a lot of young men were highly motivated to either prove themselves as men, get away from shitty home situations, and/or personally put a stop to the Nazi scourge…
… how did Patton put it?
"We’re not just going to shoot the bastards, we’re going to rip out their living goddamned guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks.
We’re going to murder those lousy Hun cocksuckers by the bushel-fucking-basket."
… And that is of course to say nothing of the British, French, Russians, etc, who all either faced invasion and aerial bombardment, or literally were invaded an occupied by a murderous, rascist, mechanized death cult.
Not trying to sound like a jingoistic military enthusiast here, war is the worst hell that man has ever invented and perpetuated… but the fact is that some things are worth fighting for, some threats will not retreat or rescind against anything other than the use of coordinated violence in self-defense.
A fascist is nothing but a bully and a liar, who will stop at nothing to satisfy their own ego.
As the Brits would say…
Courage!!
Exactly. Plus the article doesn’t state when he fought. He could’ve enlisted in '43 at 16 for example
A brief Google tells me he enlisted in the British military at 16 in '44 just before D-day. That may be incorrect because there are a few people with his name that served in the Bri’ish military, but the one I found was a tanker.
