“..Real Men. Toughest SOB’s to walk the planet....”
Yep...no doubt in my mind having grown up as a kid under em.....father, uncles, etc.
That statement holds true for those in all the theaters too; Europe, Pacific, etc....they were some tough, hard-core individuals (toxic masculinity on steroids..LOL). Not many can compare to em these days.
The interesting part, they didn’t think of themselves that way. It may be because of the Great Depression. It put most everyone in their place. A truly great equalizer greater than the old Colt 45.
