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.
