There is no safe space

[Ole Cowboy]

This is a VERY touching video, actually a piece of film that has been made into a video, this is one that is NOT photo shopped, it's the real scene!
Notice in the opening shot you'll see the gunner's position is destroyed while the pilot's cockpit ahead of it is undamaged.

Later on notice the corpsman taking a fingerprint of the deceased gunner, before the film continues, then showing the chaplain saying the final prayers, followed by taps, then the sailors push the aircraft and our patriotic airman over the side and watch it sink into the distance sea. Here's one for a serious conversation with your kids. THIS WAS REAL!

This is what 18 year old "kids" were doing in 1944. No safe spaces, no hurtful unthinkable remarks that they couldn't cope with, just dying for their country so the ungrateful, uninformed people of today could act like fools decades later.............

This 2 minute video is pretty moving. Worth your while.

While they're are plenty of good youngsters, especially in the military, we do seem to have a lot of thumb suckers over 18 amongst us.

Time will eventually educate them as to how the world works, until then they'll continue to act like big babies.

Learning to be an adult will really shock them when it happens...

I would like the video to be something shown in high school to wake up the thumb suckers before they're 18.
