Okay, sitting at home watching Monday reruns of Pawn Stars and once again there is an episode where the "Old Man" is talking about his time in the Navy DURING World War II (at the time he was looking at purchasing a World War II Navy Uniform).
I am NOT a math major (so I used a calculator) and I am NOT a history major (so I used google to check dates).
The "Old Man" was born in 1941 (he will be 70 in July).
World War II was from 1939-1945.
Okay....I know way-back-when, it was not uncommon for 16 year old boys to join the military. But the Old Man would have been 4 at the END of the war.
Dammit..will someone at the History Channel tell the Old Man to SHUT UP and stop bragging about being in the Military during World War II?
Korean War? NOPE....sorry....my father was born in 1932 and was in the Air Force during the Korean War.
At best, at 18 years of age (1959), the Old Man would have entered the Vietnam War which took place from 1955-1975.
I salute
all the current and former members of the United States Military and say piss off to those that are living the lie.
