My grandfather was a Nazi? Because that's an actual Nazi stormtrooper. Maybe that's :thejoke:

Based on the gun and the mask, it seems more likely that's a picture from WW1. Which makes the original tweet even more nonsensical.

The sum of the two numbers and the previous answer works just as well too, which is how some got 34.


Actually I think you'll find that regardless of what's written above the equation, 8+5 is 13. :smugbert:

Mid 20s, grandparents on one side were too young for the war so she stayed put on a farm in butt gently caress nowhere, Bavaria, and he lived in Karlsruhe, trying to get to the air shelter in time.

On the other side of my family they were old enough so my grandfather was given a choice between the eastern front and Africa. He chose the latter and fought for a short while in an infantry brigade before getting captured by the Canadians and finishing the war in the relative comfort of a canuck pow camp.

So I guess you can have it both ways :v:

My grandparents were born in the 1920s (I'm turning 25 soon but they had my mom much later than the rest of the kids, which is why they're so much older than average for people my age) and to my knowledge my grandfather either stayed a civilian or had a relatively peaceful non-combatant military job.

My theory is that Boomers say this poo poo because the WW2 generation gave the Boomers poo poo over losing Vietnam.

Its even simpler than that. Boomers grew up during the Cold War, but saw their parents or older siblings who lived in a time that to them, was 'simpler'. Didn't have to worry about commies or war protestors or civil rights or gang violence or anything that some boomers clutch pearls over. Things like gender roles and race relations weren't a problem to them because everybody 'knew their place' and there wasn't any dissent they ever had to address. So they fetishize a generation that they believe didn't have to deal with any of it.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

It's really addressing those 20-somethings whose parents had them way late in life. And rightly so because that small subset of the millennial generation are some real entitled assholes.

I'll be 30 in a couple months, and my grandpa on my dad's side served in WW2. My grandpa on my mom's side would've been 10 when the war ended, though. Thanks for listening.
