We had to pull my grandfather from the nursing home (God rest him. Left is at 104)

We had to pull him because he kept telling the younger residents "I killed the Nazis once I can kill you again"

Hell of a man. Side note he's also part of the reason rabies isn't a big thing in America. He was a chemist for the board of health. Helped to deploy a vaccine that could be put into bait for wild animals to eat.

Another side not: my dad was a trump supporter, my grandad was too old to go vote. My dad used his vote to vote democrat on his behalf . Purely out of respect for my mother's dad.

Hell of a man.

I recently got my grandfather's WWII side arm. I know it still works at the range, but I wonder if it works on Nazis... I hope I never have to find out.

Sidearm: What is my purpose?

thefartographer: You kill Nazis.

Sidearm: Oh my g--, wait; I'm okay with that!

Ehhhhh. I get why. But no.

My grandfather never once spoke about the war. His joke in the nursing home was funny . That joke was still different than this joke.

He didn't say he'd enjoy it, he didn't say he was okay with it. He said he can do and he's done it before.

I wasn't in WW2 obviously. I will.comoare it to growing up on a farm. I had to kill starving stray dogs people dropped off in the country side.

I can do it. I can kill a dog. I have killed plenty of dogs. I don't enjoy killing dogs, I'm okay with killing dogs. I can do it.

My grandfather could kill people. Those people I assume were mostly Nazis during the war. He never mentioned random roadside murders. He could kill Nazis. He had killed Nazis before. He didn't say he was okay with killing Nazis. You shouldn't be okay taking a life even if it had to be done.

I was doing the starving dogs a favor... I was never okay with it tho. It should never be fun to take a life, even if you have to. It should never be okay.

Absolutely OK to punch Nazis. In fact, it makes you a good person.

I mean he's right.

This country has become a disgrace.

We allow felon rapist insurrectionists into the Oval Office and unelected Nazis into White House administrations.

We elect people who spend their time focusing on harming minorities instead of passing legislation to help average Americans.

We're a complete and total disgrace of a nation.

I always text people because it's quicker to get a response than email but it's less invasive than a call... they can respond at their convenience.
