Hearing that someone's grandfather was a vet is quite common, yes. And the number is 16 million. That said, most of them are dead now. So these days, for someone like myself - barely thirty - it is, in fact, quite uncommon to run across a living WWII veteran. I never have, and neither has anyone I know. I assume things are different for people in older generations. In other news, the sky is blue.
And yes, I am well aware that the father mentioned lived in Germany. Not only did I pay attention in history class, I can also read.
Is there some reason you're being condescending?

- grammaton 16y agoI was asking someone else a question about their story, and you respond by acting like I've grown a second head for being curious, and giving me a definition of a basic term related to the discussion. So, yes. Yes I am being serious.
- burgerbrain 16y agoThe worst part is I think you don't even get it.
