    Events honoring WWII vets are something I'll just never be cynical about. The sacrifice was so enormous, it's almost beyond comprehension. For as long as they're around, they should be honored

        The U.S. has nowhere near that level of unified purpose today that made those people willing to make those sacrifices.

        Absolutely, and we shouldn't ignore the MASSIVE contributions and sacrifices that #Russia made to defeating Nazism!

        My grandpa has Forrest Gump-level WW2 stories, from a ship adrift with no engines in enemy waters during a typhoon, to shooting down a kamikaze pilot, getting thrown in the brig for Irish cowboy behavior, and seeing the surrender of Hirohito from the deck of his ship.

        My grandfather fought in N. Africa, Sicily, Italy, Normandy/France, Holland, and Germany. He was always cynical about celebrating it, but then again he was cynical about most things. He didn’t like being recognized, always just said he was doing his job.

        Catch-22 by Joseph Heller was satire but it accurately exposed the ridiculous nature of war and military bureaucracies.

        Agreed, personally I found today’s remembrance particularly moving, not sure if it’s because of my age, or theirs.

        Correct. They know it in Normandy. And they know it in Russia.
