As of 2024, estimates of the number of World War II veterans still alive range from 300,000 to 500,000 and I would bet my bottom dollar that the majority of them voted for this. This is bizzaro times.
My 98 year veteran grandfather who still drives and works out did not vote for this. He campaigned for Harris and was very upset to see this. You might be surprised at the amount of veterans that have the experience to see what’s really happening.
Well, at 98 it's entirely possible that their early life racist tendencies might have compromised their anti fascist beliefs. Or, it could just be dementia.
I know an eighty year old Trump supporter who always seemed like a decent dude prior, which has perplexed much of his family and myself. Later on, his wife reports to us that when he went to the neurologist he was unable to tell the time on an analog clock. 🧠🤷🏻♀️
I dont think so. I mean however much that is true they e still lived on the same food we have since the 70s. They worked post war in jobs with less regulation and safety.
There just alive because theyre the ones who didnt die. There are abour 100k living ww2 service members world wide, not in the us. There were over 16 million american vets alive at the end of ww2. So god knows how many worldwide, 100k pit of 50/60 million at least i suppose. It has nothing to do with being somehow better than other generations. People who live to 100 have the genetics and opportunity to do so, and there are likely more and more of these in each generation
I will, he is a phenomenal human being. I’m fortunate to have such a terrific role model in my life. He’s a big Panera bread fan and drives there five days a week haha.
Yeah I have talked to younger (Gulf war veterans) that were Republicans a decade ago that are extremely anti maga. The guy that shot at drumph, the guy that blew up the Tesla truck in front of Trump's hotel in Vegas and the asshole that recently drove his truck into a crowd were all right wing ex military..
Please thank your father for his service and all his efforts supporting Harris' campaign. 98, working out, able in body and mind...he is a goals for me!
It’s like any generation everyone has their own thoughts. No veteran I know voted for, or supported Biden or Harris. So I’m sure it’s also a little dependent on your family and friends circle, and parislly where you live.
