My father served 45 days in combat on Okinawa, before getting wounded and taken to the hospital.
He eventually died at 69 from cancer. He never complained about his wartime experience.
He enlisted in the Marines at age 17 and was discharged after the end of the war, before his 20th birthday.
People from that era didn't know the words "entitled" or "diversity." He managed a couple of years college on the GI bill.
To elites today, would classify him as a "deplorable" uneducated white person. But he employed many people and built thousands of homes.
He raised 5 children, and nobody went to prison, and nobody went on welfare.
