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

No, I'm not admitting that. But I am admitting that I never had to go through the Great Depression with barely a pot to piss in, I never had to watch my friends get their faces shot off, I never had to watch those same friends bodies start swelling up because of the insane heat, nor have I ever watched those bodies become filled with maggots because they couldn't get stretcher bearers to my buddy in time because there was no safe way to do it without the stretcher bearers getting killed too. I never saw little children and women being used as shields, or have bombs strapped to them. No, I never saw all that while doing my job at the same time. I never did all that and then came home and got my arse up for work every morning to provide for my family.

I won't say that I couldn't do what those men did, because they aren't superheroes, they were boys, mostly, but I thank god that I haven't ever had to find out if I could stand up and do what those men did.

So, have a little respect for what they did you fricking cünt.
