Not everyone wants to procreate. I'm sure he had his own fulfilling life. Glad he served his country and seemed happy well into his old age.

Please tell whoever has been pissing in your cornflakes to stop it. Not for your sake, but for the rest of us.

You're also unfamiliar with common idioms, it seems.

7 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

That's pretty sad, but it does make one wonder...

7 years ago | Likes 83 Dislikes 7

Wonder what?

7 years ago | Likes 14 Dislikes 2

I assume what made them have no family in the first place. Were they an asshole? Just had no kids? Estranged? Family are assholes?

Regardless of, he's a veteran. He gave his life so you could sit comfortably at your screen.

7 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 4

Well it depends when and where he served. Some Americans veterans were very much not in defensive wars.

7 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

Not to discredit the man, he didn't choose where to serve most likely, but he may not have served in defense of his country.

7 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

Maybe he was gay and never married.

7 years ago | Likes 14 Dislikes 1

Lots of possibilities for sure

7 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Or maybe all their relatives died already.

7 years ago | Likes 24 Dislikes 1

Obvious. But you don’t bring that up at 80 years old with veteran status. A little respect goes a long way.

7 years ago | Likes 14 Dislikes 9

If he was an asshole not saying he is but being a veteran doesn't excuse that now being a hard ass is where its at

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

That shouldn't happen to anyone, especially a veteran. From the Netherlands: Rest in peace, thank you!

Loneliness is pretty common among older vets, and despite my and others' views against war, soldiers have a thankless job and respect is 1/2

7 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 0

Something small we can give 2/2

7 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

No one should be lonely. But one is not better than another because they are soldier.

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Always, ALWAYS support your soldiers. You can hate the war and the politics all you want. They dont get to decide where and when they fight

7 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 3

This.

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 2

Yeah, no. My soldiers? Soldiers on all sides then? Do you support the one that rapes the child? It's garbage sentiment.

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

Sounds like your living in the wrong country then. Theres always the option to immigrate somewhere new

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

There is not always the option. Would if I could.

That said, there is nationalist bullshit like this in every country.
