    Yeah, once upon a time, a lot of young men were highly motivated to either prove themselves as men, get away from shitty home situations, and/or personally put a stop to the Nazi scourge…

    … how did Patton put it?

    "We’re not just going to shoot the bastards, we’re going to rip out their living goddamned guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks.

    We’re going to murder those lousy Hun cocksuckers by the bushel-fucking-basket."

    … And that is of course to say nothing of the British, French, Russians, etc, who all either faced invasion and aerial bombardment, or literally were invaded an occupied by a murderous, rascist, mechanized death cult.

    Not trying to sound like a jingoistic military enthusiast here, war is the worst hell that man has ever invented and perpetuated… but the fact is that some things are worth fighting for, some threats will not retreat or rescind against anything other than the use of coordinated violence in self-defense.

    A fascist is nothing but a bully and a liar, who will stop at nothing to satisfy their own ego.

    As the Brits would say…

    Courage!!
