How about forgetting all this generation horse hockey and remember the guys who ran ashore and jumped in at Normandy.
There was a guy at work who had made all 5 combat jumps with the 505th PIR in the 82nd Airborne Division during WWII. These guys had balls of steel.
Read some of the stories of what happened 70 years ago- the confusion, the fear, the horror and the bravery- it's compelling. We cannot comprehend that. Watching Saving Private Ryan- that beachead scene- that's scary. The scene in Band Of Brothers where they cross the river to take the German LP/OP- where those MG-42 tracers are just bearing out of nowhere. It's scary, but it's a movie.
Read about what Leonard Lomell did.
