war is not fun
getting shot is not fun
seeing you buddies get shot is not fun
killing another human being is not fun even if you are following orders
I just heard another 100 year old man say what I said. It is not belittling to report what many have said. If you were bailing hay in Saskatchewan in 1939 and heard that you and all your friends could be sent to Europe , you might welcome the adventure, dangerous as it was.

you most definitely are "shamefully belittling" those that sacrificed

sadly you can not ''just hear '' from those who you are "shamefully belittling"

nope. you said most, not many

Most of those guys went to war for the excitement and experience, not for freedom.
its a big red flag when a fool starts to backtrack on his own words

you also imply most valued excitement and experience over protecting freedoms

An incredibly insulting statement from a damn fool

I asked google AI and they said, " Young men went to war for a variety of reasons, including patriotism, economic hardship, a sense of duty, the promise of adventure, and social pressures. In some cases, they were also motivated by a desire for status or a sense of purpose, and in others, they were conscripted into service, which provided a job and financial benefit. " Would you also claim that AI Google is insulting and/or fabricating the reasons men went to war?
I rest my case, Mister LaRue can now return to his fantasy world of absolute blacks and whites.

Farley Mowat was at the Battle of Ortona, he described his experience in his seminal book And No Birds Sang (1979). It should be required reading in high school, it's a pivotal part of Canadian history.

I laid a wreath at my parents grave-site, both were survivors of WWII, my father in Tobruk and my mother in the vicinity of Monte Casino.

What does google AI say about psychology of our troops seeing their fellow
soldiers falling down in machine gun fire in the landing of Normandy? Does
google AI provide any details on how some of our troops managed to live
out the rest of their lives after amputation of legs and arms?

WWII is now an event in the remote past to those born in the 21st century.
Some young kids must have learned the details of how troops surviving in a battle
from playing games and google. I hope no other adults of your generation would
characterize the experience of charging against machine gunfire on the Normandy
beach as in 'it was more fun than bailing hay' to the kids in the remembrance week;
for that would cheapen the price paid by the fallen to secure our freedom. Our kids
must learn to teach their own kids of the sacrifice made by our forerunners so
as to pass the torch of democracy to future generation.

did AI google state most ? as in a majority including those that never came home ?
Most of those guys went to war for the excitement and experience, not for freedom.
I rest my case,
you had no case, just an insulting poorly thought out belittlement of those that made sacrifices to protect the freedoms you benefit from

Mister LaRue can now return to his fantasy world of absolute blacks and whites.
And right on cue, when exposed for being wrong (dead wrong in this case) , the despicable left always pull out the race card.
you are pathetic

run away now and do not stop running

what an idiot! By black and white I meant as opposed to multiple shades of grey. That there are often more than 2 possibilities, but people like you refuse to see that. Nothing about race...LOL

I didn't ask AI how reality felt when they actually got into combat, just wanted to know what motivated them to sign up and go.

yes you are

By black and white I meant as opposed to multiple shades of grey.
but you did not say black and white
you said blacks and whites
Mister LaRue can now return to his fantasy world of absolute blacks and whites.
it is clear enough what you meant

nice try, but your back peddling does not work

i have read ''black and white'' many a time referring to two very distinct and polar opposites
but never blacks and whites

it is clear enough what you meant

Are you going to pretend you don't use the race card all the time ?

It's called plural, you moron. Referring not to just this issue but many issues which you misread, reducing complex multi-faceted situations into simplistic hyperbole driven slogans. What race card? Why don't you post another pic about a Muslim rapist, implying that whites don't do that nasty stuff ? LOL

John has mental rabies, conversing with him like he is a normal human being will only get you bitten. John interprets anything his "enemies" say in the most negative and egregious way possible.

You just proved my point...what a narrow minded clown . Your definition is so rigid! You are binary while I am hex. Ever hear of poetic license?
you prove my point consistently
what a hypercritical fool

poetic license my ass
you weren't even smart enough to be consistent when trying to defend your statements

Mister LaRue can now return to his fantasy world of absolute blacks and whites.

you were backtracking while going sideways
