my grandfather who is American was in London during the battle of Britian, before he went to fight in North Africa. Everyday London was being bombed, and one day my grandfather talked to a 17 year old British kid who had a small plane with very little fuel in it, and he told my grandfather if the Germans came back that nite he'd go after them, my grandfather told him it was a suicide mission, he said thats the problem with you Yanks you worry to much. He went up and then died, thats a hero.

What is wrong with you people? Can't we just take the time to pay tribute to the young men and women that gave so much for the promise of a better future?

On the contrary, to do the opposite -- that is, to not question historical details and motives -- is not only intellectual immaturity but also blatant stupidity. Back to the cartoons for you, kid-o.
