“If you ever want to sleep with a blonde again, you had better shoot down these bastards as soon as they come up” - a destroyer captain motivates his exhausted crew shortly before a kamikaze attack.

If the captain uttered those words in 2020, he would be pilloried by the media and the Navy, demoted, stripped of command, and humiliated.

I’ve made it a “fun” habit of telling nurses of my WWII war-time birth date.

Then, I follow up with, “At that time, my father was dropping bombs on the Japanese”.

Most of the time, the nurses will say, “OH, NO!”
