I'd fight if the world was on the line.

This oversimplified and cliched statement that the greatest generation is better than all of us is tiring.

My dad went in on the second wave. He also said he really wanted a glass of ice water while on that island for two. months.

That pretty well sums up all he ever said about that experience.

Edit: May he rest in peace.

I'm wrong to disagree with someone who arbitrarily tells me I'm not as good of a man as someone else without knowing me?

So you admit that you aren't as much of a man or as brave as others?

I'm not taking anything away from their sacrifice. I'm saying this blanket statement that all of us suck compare to them is wrong.

Yes, I'm not as courageous as the Marines who fought on Iwo Jima

Apparently you are -- congratulations

I've always felt a tinge of guilt that my generation has never had to endure something like that.

Also, if you have some spare time, take a visit to the WWII museum in Nola. You won't be disappointed.
