... In the 1940s we were talking about our warriors....
so wrong and so confused - only the national socialists and nips used those terms in the 1940s. We conspicuously avoided the term precisely because it was UnAmerican.
In the 1940s, warrior was a term of derision in the US. It was used to describe mindless automatons of a totalitarian state.
Its actually tragic that many of us have lost their way in their thinking.
What is tragic is that you insist on trying to spoon=feed lies to people who weren’t there. I know what I am talking about. time for you to listen and LEARN what is correct.
