Oldie but a goodie.

An old sales guy I was assigned to work with when I was doing engineering work used to say, "You young people think you invented sex. There's nothing new under the sun. When I was your age I was bottom knocking nurses and girls at the USO like there was no tomorrow".

He was on the Wasp when it was sunk by the Japanese. Obviously lived to tell about it but he almost never did. The only detail he ever disclosed was that a lot of his shipmates didn't make it.

I knew a Vet from WW2. He was Army. Before there was Special Forces etc. He didn't talk about the war much until his later years. When I asked him about this, he said when he first returned home, his wife kept a broom stick beside the bed. If she had to wake him, she got out of bed, took the broom stick, and nudged him with it. He would wake up swinging. He said now, it's like a book I read and doesn't bother me so much. I imagine there were lots of stories. I only heard a few of them.

One time at his house, he produces a Japanese Samurai sword. I asked him how he got it, as most GI bring backs were traded for by the GI. He said they were put off a sub onto a Jap held island. They scouted and radioed back intel for the landing the next morning. During the attack, they were "cave clearing". Rooting out the enemy from all the hidden positions they had in the caves. They would throw some grenades in and wait for the blast, then go in. This one officer was protected from the blast by some natural feature in the cave and charged with his sword drawn. Adolph put up his M1 to block the sword and it cut the stock off behind the pistol grip. I said, then what happened? Adolph says, "I shot the bastard and took his sword, and here it is."

Adolph was an avid sportsman his whole life and was what most folks would call a "colorful character". He could make anything out of wood, but was lost when it came to anything mechanical.
Al, his sons best friend and the service manager where I worked at the time would come over about every 5 years and load about 100 rounds for deer hunting. They all shot 243's. This one time, he brought Adolph.

I get an M1 out of the safe and lock the bolt back. My back is still to Adolph. He says, "I know what that is without seeing it." He handles the rifle and you can tell the memories are flooding back. He finally says, "If I had one of these, I'm not sure what I'd do with it." I ask him, what do you mean? He says, "On the one hand, I'd keep it cleaned and oiled and remember all the times it saved my life. On the other hand, I'd want to stand it in the corner and piss on it every day for all the miles I had to carry it."

After the war, Adolph was a cabinet maker at the Charleston Naval Shipyard. He had some funny stories about those days as well.
As with most WW2 Vets, Adolph is no longer with us. It's too bad someone couldn't sit down with guys like this and get them to tell about their experience on video. That history is now lost.

Had a couple from my church were that age. One gentleman said he was a POW the last few years of the war. One lady was a German national and sometimes told of her experience. She was no nazi just a young girl growing up in wartime Germany. She made a point in stating how cruel the Russian soldiers were. Always wanted to document their experiences, but they said it was too hard to relive. Would have been interesting to hear from their standpoint which I would believe more than some of the history books.
 
Not many of those old boys left. Korea vets are shrinking in numbers too. I can think of quite a few men of that age who made an impression on me when I was a kid.

I remember boomer hippies ridiculing the WWI and WWII vets who marched in the 4th of July parade. The American Legion and VFW members. People sitting in lawn chairs would stand and show respect. I also remember college kids and teenagers acting like these men were a joke. Even though I was a little kid I remember thinking how disrespectful that was. That shameful behavior also had a big influence on me and it's one of those things that stuck.

I can't stand people who hate our country and the principles on which it is founded. Ungrateful, stupid, lazy pieces of shit who contribute nothing and complain incessantly. I have been to places where everyday life is pure fucking Hell for the people who live there. Places where people have no rights. None. Many live their whole lives in fear.

Liberals without a clue and old hippies should go live in some of the places I've been and see how they like it. To experience the fruits of socialism and government control of everything in the real world vs. the utopian fantasy in their heads. Let's start with Queers for Palestine, young women with nose rings and blue hair, bourgeois suburban housewives with liberal arts degrees, the entire faculty of every state university, and make it a prerequisite for anyone running for public office.

Now the old guys are Vietnam vets. I haven't been to a parade in a long time. Maybe vets have been replaced by drag queens and pride flags. Hopefully those days are soon behind us.

Now... back to something funny. The gal on the right needs to shave her legs next time she has a photo op with that lady from the Salvation Army.

I lost an old friend last month, the day after Christmas, he was a Viet Nam vet. His wife said he was bedridden the last couple of years, died of diabetes and complications due to Agent Orange exposure. It had been a couple years since we spoke, he was a Trump hater and didn’t mind telling you. Don’t know why he leaned that way, possibly his wife’s influence. I regret letting our differences in politics come between us.
