They didn't need a passport when they landed June 6th 1944 PARIS (Reuters) - British paratroopers recreating an airdrop behind German defences to mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day were met by French customs officials at a makeshift border checkpost. Moments after the paratroopers had hit the ground and gathered up their chutes, they formed an orderly queue and handed over their passports for inspection by waiting French customs officials in a Normandy field. news.yahoo.com/news/passports-please-british-paratroopers-met-095142857.html |

Wonder if they brought back the "draft" today. how many of this "WOKE" generation would go? "RA all the way" A very high percentage of them, I suspect. It would be the Boomer parents having a cow. I think the vagaries of the younger generations is overblown; all of the 20-40 year-olds I know are hard working and civic-minded. The only "WOKE" generation I know of is a sub-class of politicians.
