Respect the grannies

Of course hearing about war stories is always good for progression in the future, but you can't say there weren't bad outcomes from the war either.
Families torn apart, innocent civilians murdered because someone was ordered to attack them or bomb them.

But after all, there should be the utmost respect shown for those that were in the war, and those who simply survived the war alike.
Tough times that they have managed to work through to make the most of the rest of their lives and to pass their stories on to future generations.

I never said the war was good.
I said it's a shame losing the people who were in it.

It is very important that we take the time to really think about what happened back in World War II. Life as a whole was so much different from what it is today. Let's remember and try to imagine what life was like for the people you feel connected to, in any way, from that time. I personally like to pay my respects to all the soldiers that had to fight in the war, on both the axis' and allies' sides, because I believe that the vast majority of the soldiers that fought for, or with the Germans, deserve to be remembered equally as much as their opponents, in the same way.

funny thing about old people, most of them are friendly and kind but some are total douchbags, all ages have this in common

There once was a nice commercial on TV
COSMOTE - Spot "Veteranul"

The old man is a war veteran

I always tried to respect old people even if I don't know them

Great message.


The wisdom of a war veteran is invaluable - my Grandfather fought in WW2 and some of his countries subsequent wars and after hearing what he and those who fought with him went through and what they saw I can only thank God for the life I have now. I know in some cultures people like to throw the elderly away into old peoples homes eventually when their age starts taking toll on their bodies and they start becoming helpless, but what we must remember is when we were in our time of need they stepped up to the plate and gave their today for our tomorrow. This doesn't even have to apply to war veterans but even the elderly who shaped our society or even our family elders. I have nothing but respect for the elderly as should everyone.

Unlike in the West, where the term Germans is used for their opponent, in Russia it is called the victory over the Nazi regime. There is no finger-pointing at Germans. For Russians they defeated the Nazi's, cleaned the country from those who were supporting their ideas, and that is the end of it.

But the real lesson here is not just about war. The old people worked very hard to give us what we have today. It is our duty not to throw it away but work as hard as we can to give future generations the same or an even better life.
We may only live once, but what we do has effect on those who live after us.

Interesting, I didn't really know what the general view towards it was in Russia. There's a lot of different opinions about that and on what the Soviets did during the war, but this is not the place for them.

Man, it was so sad. It was very very sad, there the boy pushed the other one, so he can fall to the grandpa, in this scene when he didn't say anything and just with difficulty picked up the thing he was holding, i was ready to cry. He set his life infront of the death for the new generation that would push him and laugh at him? Wierd things...
