Closest I'll ever get to being in WW2 was playing Battlefield 1942 as a kid... and... I still can't make it through Saving Private Ryan without crying.

I've since been through traumatic shit in my own life, become a cynical bastard... but goddamnit, I still have a heart, I still feel the pain of others.

Of course I am generalizing, there are non shitty boomers... but most of them might as well be aliens in skin suits, I can describe and like academically attempt to understand them... but I am not like them, I cannot put myself into their headspace.
