The last American World War I veteran died yesterday. Not World War II but World War I. His name was Frank Buckles and he was 110. Yeah, 110 years old. He lied about his age, like many did at that time, to get into the military and served in "The Great War". Oh yeah, he was also civilian POW in WWII in the Philippines. I imagine that was not a good time.
Attention my generation: We are a soft bunch of whiny, pussy, bitches. I hope to God that we are not faced with a world crisis like those of WWI or WWII, though it seems lately that might soon be the case. If so we will probably let it run us over and subject us going unnoticed while we scroll through our iPod trying to find a Lady Gaga song. So here's to you Mr. Buckles, (in all seriousness) cheers to you for making us look so weak today, you are one of the toughest people to ever live. Rabble-B
