I was actually thinking about this, yes it is. All the Vietnam veterans as well. When I watch documentaries on WWII or learn new things about it it is still hard to comprehend that something of that scale actually happened.

Korea? Yeah, maybe.

Vietnam? Unless you keel over by 65, they'll be around.

Not really. Soldiers are murdering psychopaths. Let them all die.

Oh, well, you know...

It's not like they were forced to go against their will or anything.

The Greatest Generation will ride into the sunset, they saved the world and they have achieved their rest.

Don't remind me. It makes me hope that we've absolutely sucked every last drop of any information on the war we could have before they die. Otherwise we will be wasting one of our most valuable historical assets. It really is depressing that what they know dies with them. I'm sure there are plenty of heroic stories out there that would be the stuff of legend, but we will never know about them because the people that knew about them are either dead or dying and haven't been fully interviewed.
