FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NEVER SERVED...

What it means to be a real American...

A touching video, actually a piece of film that has been made into a video, one that is NOT photo-shopped.

Notice that when the plane lands on the carrier deck, the gunner's position is shot to hell while the pilot's cockpit is undamaged. Later the corpsman takes a fingerprint of the deceased gunner, the chaplain says final prayers, followed by taps, then sailors push the aircraft and this airman over the side and watch it sink into the sea. 
This is what 18 to 24-year-old "boys" were doing from 1942 to 1945. (Half of them not even old enough to vote.) 

No safe spaces, no hurtful remarks that they couldn't cope with, just dying for their country so the ungrateful, uninformed snowflakes of today could act like fools decades later.

What made this country great is ordinary people like this doing extraordinary things. Certainly a stark contrast to what is going on with our young people this very day.
