German WWI veteran describes taking the life of a French soldier

We can disagree on if some of the wars are indeed necessary. But, Smedley Butler did it for 33 years and coined the phrase "war is a racket". He has a point. So many of our youth have been lost to war. 🙏

Our founding fathers seeing what our world has become “WWII vet: “The things we fought for, and the boys that died for it, it’s all going down the drain.” 💔

Henry Johnson nicknamed ‘Black Death’ was an American soldier who beat back a German assault during WWI. Despite being stabbed, shot, & hit with a grenade, he managed to kill & injure 24 German soldiers all by himself. In 2015, he was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his bravery.

The PTSD veterans from WW1 and 2 were forced to live with untreated is ridiculous

Actually This is a great example of what has happened to the majority. Was it worth it
