100 year old WW2 vet says the things he fought for have all gone down the drain

Short Twitter video
"People don’t realize what they have," Dekel said, showing his emotions. "The things we did and the things we fought for and the boys that died for it, it’s all gone down the drain."
"We haven’t got the country we had when I was raised, not at all," he said, being brought to tears. "Nobody will have the fun I had. Nobody will have the opportunity I had. It’s just not the same and that’s not what our boys, that’s not what they died for."
"You just remember everything’s beautiful and live every day to the fullest. Just enjoy everything you possibly can," he said moments later. "And here I sit at 100. They tell me I'm 100. I don't believe it sometimes. Because I don't need to worry about age. I'm not going to, I just keep on keeping on."

To be honest, all he fought for was being undone shortly after the war was over.

I just lost a friend that was 101. We shared a birthday. He was also a WW2 vet.
When asked what he secret was for living so long, he would alway say "Don't die." RIP Cass.

Unfortunately he was on the wrong side if that was what he was fighting for.

Imagine thinking that you’re fighting to stop the spread of socialism, only to live to see your country succumbing to it in your dying years. I don’t see how your comment makes any sense.

I'd be curious to know what those were. WWII was just as full of bullshite as any other in the 20th century.

America should have fought both Germany and Russia. Both were globalists regimes.

Well, I am sure that he didn't fight in WWII thinking that he was doing it so his great grandchildren could be read books in libraries by drag queens. So tranny's could be in the Biden admin.
Or people would be chosen for WH press secretery because of race, skin color and sexual orientation.
Or democrats burning the flag yelling defund the police.
Or the number one song's be rapping about shooting N*****.
Or how his great grandchildren are taught in schools that they are racist and he is nothing but a white supremacists.
Or a common criminal and drug addict would be hailed as a national hero and be given a kings funeral.

We have been the frog boiling in the pot for decades. We are just now realizing how hot it’s getting in here

Well it was a helluva lot easier to go after Germany with the Reds on our side.
Had Japan never messed with Our assets in the Pacific, nor Pearl Harbor, perhaps we let Hirohito have his Pacific Empire with a few kickbacks to us.

Liberal soys, who will never even do a single pushup in boot camp, much less storm a beach under heavy fire, will mock this man as "privileged".

Shut up you old biatch.

Cheers to him for speaking The Truth.

I assume he’s talking about the communists?
They were the real winners of WW2.
Their ideas conquered post war Europe. National governments sadly embraced socialism, on both sides of the Berlin Wall.
Neo Liberalism was also pretty awful too though.

Yep, down the drain.
....and Creepy Joe Biden sits on top of it all. A crook, certifiable liar and pedo-pervert sits in the Oval Office in the Peoples's House.
Elections have consequences. Stolen elections have catastrophic consequences.

My grandfather, a WWII vet in the USAAF, died in July 2001 at the age of 81. As much as I miss him, I’m glad he didn’t have to see 9/11 happen and the post-9/11 world.

Every 80 years there’s a turning, and the turning happens once almost everyone in the last one die and no one living remembers how it happened last time. We’ve arrived. By the end of this decade, it will not be called the Roaring Twenties; it will be called the Wretched Twenties.

Fascism also won it. The free world is dead. As Carlin put it:
