1. All the guys from WWII are an endangered species
I wonder how many of the "Gun-Hoe Freeper Types" ever bother to visit a veteran and actually spend time with one. They talk a good game but its 99% pure BullShit

5. Man these were some of the coolest guys from WWII
Can you imagine the look on Nazi & Japanese code breakers' faces after the war, when they found out why they were never able to decipher US messages?
