You’re not the first one to tell me that. My old army commander was always yelling this at me:

As a small child Anthony Hendrie lived through the horrors of the Blitz in his home in Chatham, England
He remembers cowering under a Morrison shelter when the family did not have time to get to the basement.
As China rises and flexes its muscles, it is crucial that we remember the lessons of WW2.
Common American democrats don’t remember last week much less the lessons of history of which they know nothing. All they know is that “it can’t happen here”.
I can’t imagine living like that.
These days the woke crowd is too busy spouting nonsense and being pretentious.
I laughed out loud when I saw the name Prince Harry put on his daughters birth certificate.
His First name is listed as Duke of Sussex. His last name is His Royal Highness. I think he probably has other Legal names that he could have used.
As a 2 year old I’m not sure he remembered anything, but that isn’t what bothers me. Did anyone listen to the accompanying 25 second video? What’s with the poltergeist/Rosebud mumbling at the very end?
Prince Harry is His Royal Highness, the Duke of Sussex, the Earl of Dumbarton, and Baron Kilkee.
Pretty impressive, eh? But that’s nothing. My German grandfather was named Johann Gambolputty.
His full title was “Johann Gambolputty de von Ausfern- schplenden- schlitter- crasscrenbon- fried- digger- dingle- dangle- dongle- dungle- burstein- von- knacker- thrasher- apple- banger- horowitz- ticolensic- grander- knotty- spelltinkle- grandlich- grumblemeyer- spelterwasser- kurstlich- himbleeisen- bahnwagen- gutenabend- bitte- ein- nürnburger- bratwustle- gerspurten- mitz- weimache- luber- hundsfut- gumberaber- shönedanker- kalbsfleisch- mittler- aucher von Hautkopft of Ulm.”
(Five bonus points to the first person who can name the TV show that featured my dear grandfather.)
That is a crazy amount of names. A soccer club from dumbarton did a twitter meme of them as clowns..referencing harrys reason for not using it on archie.
I thought i was going to see a clip of biden after i read your post..lol
That word is indonesian at the end. What a weird video
Monty Python and you’re very silly!
Real history isn’t taught, anymore, in public schools.
Many younger folks don’t have a clue what the lessons of WWII, or any history, are.
> That is a crazy amount of names. <
Way too many, actually. It’s from an old Monty Python comedy skit!
You’re not the first one to tell me that. My old army commander was always yelling this at me:
Very interesting
I run into them that know nothing of the Cold War, Berlin Wall, Cuban Missile Crisis etc. Probably a lot who don’t know the significance of 9/11.
Isn't it? And what the heck does a 2-year old remember?
I like to ask them what their favorite time in history was.
Most have to spend a bit of time thinking about it....and, even then...cannot answer easy, second level questions about their ‘favorite’ historical era.
Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.
I have saved all of my/hubby’s/mom and dad’s old history books, for my grandkids.
Monty Python
he was 7
he remembers hiding under a Morrison table
👍
What is a Morrison table?
