71 years ago, 5 U.S. Marines and a Navy Hospital Corpsman raised the flag of the United States on top of Mount Suribachi during the Battle of Iwo Jima in WWII.
One can only imagine the completely different outcome if the Greatest Generation were to be replaced with today's generation of My Little Ponies and Special Snowflakes.
Someday, we will find out.
"Then Ira started drinkin' hard
Jail was often his home
They'd let him raise the flag and lower it
Like you'd throw a dog a bone!
He died drunk early one mornin'
Alone in the land he fought to save
Two inches of water in a lonely ditch
Was a grave for Ira Hayes."
