My grandpas fought in World War 2 as well.
My grandfather joked he slept through it- he flew in the pre-first wave and flew back over the invasion force on the way back in. There’s a picture of them right before taking off on my FB. Most of the guys in that picture probably didn’t make it home. Really a miracle the Powerrr line made it to 2021.77 years ago some bad asses showed up on the beaches of Normandy and saved the damn world. It's still incomprehensible to me what those men did.
Don't forget that the little twat you are referring to plays for Japan even though she grew up here and hardly speaks a lick of Japanese. F her.All this heroism on the shores of France so that one day, sensitive tennis players can blow off the tortures of answering media questions...
Finally, mission accomplished.
We’ve had a year of people losing their shit over the inconvenience of wearing masks, so I’m not sure we’re there. We are an incredibly soft and decadent country these days.WWII stories are way cooler to read than what someone cooked on the grill last night IMO.
As much as people say kids are pussies these days, I have full faith in America that we’d field the same type of team again if need be.

Grandpa use to reference the best dollar he ever spent was while on leave to the Riviera. He mostly peddled cigarettes he was able to get b/c he was security for a train for a bit. He was a reinforcement at the very end of the Battle of the Bulge and the skirmishes there after. Bronze Star for carrying a few injured out of harms way and purple heart for a bullet in the back.I can’t begin to imagine the French ass some of those European theatre dudes got.
Gay issues, please.CONCACAF final Mexico and USA stopped game in extra time to discuss racial issues. Not kidding.
Well yeah, I got that. It just seems like that would be a bigger part of the story. If you don’t mind me asking, what happened?He got shot.
No kidding? My wife’s grandfather was a bombardier on a B-17 who spent about the same time in that camp. He was shot down over Kiel, Germany.My father was a navigator on a B17 bomber that was shot down over Germany on his 10th mission. He spent 27 months in Stalag Luft III before being liberated.
That generation was tough as nails because they were used to doing without and when it came time they responded.
Maybe yall are cousins.No kidding? My wife’s grandfather was a bombardier on a B-17 who spent about the same time in that camp. He was shot down over Kiel, Germany.

I see you’re a proud member of #DanCarlinGangWWII gets all the pub, but reals know that WWI was where some truly crazy, brutal, inhumane shit went down. Modern warfare by people who had no clue what they were doing.
