I hear you. I doubt if 50% of Americans under the age of 30 could even name the decade in which World War II was fought.

I know I got to meet and spend some time with some WWII vets back in 2004 in Guam for the liberation day parade it was amazing those guys were awesome.

Yet he bow like a loyal little slave boy to the tyrant who owns his ***.
