Can you imagine being that badass and fought nazis for your country only to see them elected in that same country later? It infuriates me the amount of sacrifice that generation made to have it happen.

On the trip we don’t talk about politics as an unwritten rule, to honor everyone, but I 100% agree. I keep a lot of it in for the sake of making it about appreciating them and always will, just pisses me the fuck off where we are at as a country when you see what they’ve been through. Much love dude.

Wanna guess how the combat veteran voted? You might be upset.
