    Your grandparents stormed the beaches at Normandy

    Oh, so what you actually want is for us to dash our bodies upon the stones and get shot to death by cops, is it? What a completely reasonable ask! One that I’m sure you won’t be doing yourself, of course. That’s our job.

    I’m not your footsoldier. I’m not throwing myself into a fire just because you’re unsatisfied with the action being taken. I have a life to live, and I’m barely managing that as it is. Your criticism is less than worthless.

    Your advice wouldn’t fix America. It’d just get us all killed. If you want to be frustrated, find a more productive way to do it.

      Please work on your reading comprehension. Nowhere did I even imply that’s what you should be doing.

      I was contrasting the level of bravery and energy between them and you. They stormed Normandy to save foreign nations and yet you’re making excuses to not even get off the couch to save your own.
