If a man raised through the great depression is scared for the future, we should be twice as horrified.

100 year old man has a mental breakdown on camera and you people are really sitting here like, "see this proves I'm right". Like stop using this man's clearly fragile mental state as a tool to spread your crappy politics. The man is right, us of the younger generations don't have the same opportunities that people like him have, but that's the fault of his own generation. People that did not care and to this day still don't care about what they did / do to this country because they're going to be gone soon anyway. His generation did Jim crow, they did the war on drugs, they cut taxes and defunded schools. They made it harder to get a college education because they think young people don't work hard enough etc. They helped cover up the history of this country just to help spread racist sentiments and they continue to do so every time they go vote. I feel bad for this man but i have no sympathy for his generation and much less respect for them. They got everything they could out of this country and then said we couldn't afford to do the same for the generations that follow and now they are shocked at the state of this country. Give me a break

@@DogDogGodFog It was an economic crash that kicked off in Wall St. in 1921, many countries were loaning money from the USA to pay off reparations from the First World War. The US needed their money back, and nobody had the money to pay. Many countries went into massive debt like Japan, Germany, United Kingdom - you name it they owed. This kicked off a multitude of great regrets the world has. Hitler came into power legitimately by promising Bread and Work "Brot und Arbeit" - Japan invaded Manchuria and raped it. And Italy rose into Fascism, tested their war crimes in Ethiopia known as Abyssinia back then. And of course the Spanish Civil War, which showed the world the strength of the Luftwaffe. The Depression caused World War II The world went into catastrophe through the Great Depression, I've heard economists say the times we are currently in is so much worse than the Great Depression it is beyond compare. Russia invading Ukraine, cost of living crisis, mass homelessness and fuel prices are only the beginning. Only a few years ago a Third World War seemed silly! Now we're only a few miles away *correction the crash was in 1929

Yikes, how many times do you watch this depressing nonsense? Maybe watch a video about any of the numerous things that are improving society - you people are echoing your moans of dread and collapse in your own social bubbles, ignoring the rest of society's improvements just because you've let the media select what you see. We have successful fusion energy experiments, electric cars, instantaneous communication, virtual reality, more efficient delivery systems, hypersonic missiles, GPS so virtually no one can get lost anywhere with battery power, satellite weather analysis and better forecasting, better farming, drone photography, drone light shows, safer food standards, safer sanitation standards, safer workplaces, remote jobs, more varieties of entertainment, better water standards, longer life expectancy, better medical procedures, cures for diseases, faster and more efficient air travel, more powerful computing and more realistic simulations for engineers... anything else you see is panic- and fear-mongering for purposes of traditional or social media revenue.

This man fought a war to save the world when he was half my age, married when he got back and bought or built a house that he raised a family in. The gap between us couldn't be wider and more terrible.

I think you are looking at this the wrong way. While I sympathize, the whole reason he’s upset is because we ARE fighting and it’s for the same things he fought for freedom and equality for all people. He fought and risked his life so we wouldn’t have to, for peace and love, and to protect the world and it’s people. And yet we still fight amongst ourselves take rights from others and belittle people on both sides. This isn’t what America was founded for all people should be equal, should have bodily autonomy, and shouldn’t be subject to the rich and corrupt who seek to abuse us.

This is so sobering, truly the greatest generation in living memory. One of my grandads fought in the British Commandos and was the sole survivor of his unit on D Day and, more terrifying in his opinion, survived the Indian mutiny. The other grandad turned 18 the year the war ended and, with conscription still in play, joined the RAF as an engineer, wore the uniform, never saw combat. The difference in their perspectives on not just the war but life in general was palpable.

when an 100 year old marine starts crying because he is worried about his country, that means that the country really needs to change Edit: k let me explain, even when so much good things happened to get us here, he has experienced things that we don't, just as we have done the same, he has seen beauty in the small things, and what he sees now, is an place full of people who neglect those small things, that neglect the true meaning of life and instead go for the worst things, his vision is different from what we all think and see

He fought for jewish bankers so that 'lgbt' (groomed) kids can twerk on his grave less than a century later while BLM burns his childhood neighborhood down. Call me whatever you want to make yourself feel better, but I'm not lying :) You can't deny that we live in a time where *this is actual reality.* We've already seen it. A pity he didn't live to see 'his' nation become majority non-white before he passed on. His descendants will though, and they will no doubt cherish the privilege of having to live through the consequences of that.

History lesson: Spain was informally allied with Germany. The USA's allies, the British, had openly threatened Spain with annihilation. The Spanish-speaking world was informally on Germany's side because it had exactly the same problems with the English-speaking world as the Germans. Moreover, the USA had isolated Spain in terms of foreign policy until the 1970s - hence the poverty in Spain. Spaniards are the last people who owe anything to the invading armies of the Americans, British and French, on the contrary.

His mind was as sharp as a tack, but his body was slowly failing him. He would always call me "ma'am" and stand when I came into his room out of respect. When he became unable to stand up, he apologized. I think about him often... even after all these years.

They blacklisted them and sent them death threats because they used their first amendment rights. Now mainstream republicans denounce the war themselves even though in those days “to be a patriot meant to support your nation and to support the president and to support the war and to hate those that the president says to hate” but those same people now call that mentality “sheep” - so if those were the good old days, then being sheep was the good old days?
