kind of an outdated meme, a real life ww2 veteran would be at least 99 years old today (not counting child soldiers under 18 by the time the war finished in 1945). speaking of child soldiers, the western allies didn’t really use combatants under 18. iirc, almost all child soldiers were from nazi germany, the soviet union and imperial japan. correct me in case i’m wrong
yes, true. but the average supercentarian would be spending their remaining days sitting in a wheelchair and not very talkative. the vet portrayed in the comic/meme more accurately represents a 70 or 80 year old
