*Excuse me, I don't mean to interupt, but are there more of you than there used to be? I wasn't sure. The news hasn't reported on it in a while...
I saw a news article recently with a headline reading Studies Show Number of World War II Veterans Declining. Really? Is this actually news to anyone? Maybe my understanding of the point of news is vastly different from reality, but I was under the impression that the purpose of news was to tell us something that isn’t obvious. I never really thought about it, but I’m pretty sure I knew that the number of World War II Veterans was on the decline. It certainly isn’t on the rise. There aren’t women giving birth to little baby World War II Veterans are there?
“Oh really, there are fewer World War II Vets today than there were five years ago? Well thank you so much for telling me, because I thought WWII Vets were really making a comeback! Thank you so much for the previously unknown information, collective news media”.
