They meant the last AMERICAN combat veteran from WWI. They mentioned he was from Oregon. But yes, there are more veterans over seas and also in Canada.

He was a WW1 Vet that served his country yet you sit on you fat ass and disgrace him by arguing symantics of WW2 shame on all of you. Want to debate WW2 and the facts surrounding it then find a fucking forum to do so you all make me sick!

Here's the REAL truth. If the allies didn't have the USSR to battle the main bulk of the German Panzer forces for 3 long years on the Eastern Front (in which the Germans didn't sip tea for 3 years thank you very much).

For this reason a lot of medicine, food, trucks and other material was sent to the USSR. You know why? Because had the USSR fallen, then Hitler would have continental superiority and his hands free to defend "Fortress Europe"

You are FLAGGED for posting nonsense

@ZabuzaSOULESS

You're so full of shit.

Ever read a single book about WW2??

Here's something you and all you ignorant clowns need to realize. 80% of the German casaulties were on the Eastern Front and it was there the Nazi Wehrmacht was defeated. Any historian will tell you that the turning point of the war was in Stalingrad early 1943.

On D-day for instance, there were around 60 German divisions in France, compared to over 230 on the huge Eastern Front.

Read all about it and stop your BS!

@rouseg7

no shit, they join in 1917, the war ended in 1918. the US was stationed in the war for like 1 or 2 and a half years.

so sad

This is very American. A driving instructor is NOT a combat veteran he`s a support non combatant. The war was effectively over when the main US army arrived.
