r/aww? Really? Seems a little condescending. The mans seen and done some shit.

[–]alnicoblue 387 ポイント388 ポイント  (39子コメント)

That's always my first thought with the elderly. This guy could have fought in WW 2, Korea, Vietnam or all three. He's probably seen and done more than I ever will, that's not awww it's badass.

[–]SoDamnToxic 247 ポイント248 ポイント  (14子コメント)

I too, hope one day to become an old man so everyone can just assume I lived an amazing life of travel, adventure and war, but never did.

[–]alnicoblue 113 ポイント114 ポイント  (8子コメント)

I may never travel but I'll fake the fuck out of it at 91 regardless.

"That war? Yeah I saw that shit."

[–]Phoequinox 50 ポイント51 ポイント  (7子コメント)

Just say "the war", and when anyone asks which, just fake a flashback and cry.

[–]TastyRancidLemons 47 ポイント48 ポイント  (5子コメント)

I do that now. Except I've skipped the old part. And the flashback part. I just cry. But nobody asks me anything. I wish I had friends.

Do you know my great uncle?

[–]ChadCFaber 25 ポイント26 ポイント  (1子コメント)

"I was alive through all 20 Star Wars films. I've seen some shit."

[–]Kdj2j2 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (0子コメント)

That's what video games are for: CoD, Uncharted, GTA, etc.

"Yeah I was in WWII, I was poor after the war so I became a treasure hunter in Europe, then resorted to stealing cars."

[–]TychoBraheLives 40 ポイント41 ポイント  (0子コメント)

"War was hell... But the worse thing was losing your friends... Today they're talking about their families, tomorrow they get shot in the head just like that without a warning. I still have nightmares about the trenches and the constant bombing."

"Awww, that's so cute, grandpa!"

[–]DaddyTaco 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (6子コメント)

I think he would feel insulted by your comment. Most veterans I have spoken to do not consider experience in war "badass", but rather sad and horrifying.

[–]alnicoblue 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Coming from a family of veterans, that varies dramatically from person to person. I have an uncle who loved Vietnam and goes on about how he wished he could go back. My dad is somewhere in the middle-he doesn't like war but he enjoyed his time in Vietnam for whatever reason. My brother falls firmly in the "hates it won't talk about it" category.

Anyway, I wasn't calling him a badass because he fought in wars. I was calling him a badass because he survived 91 years and possibly 3 wars.

Just being alive that long means you've seen a lot of change and have unique perspective on life few of us will.

[–]DaddyTaco 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Thanks for the clarification. Your original write up made it sound like a "cool" thing. I agree with you that enduring war, etc makes someone a very strong person.

[–]Myneria 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Or destroys a person mentally and forces to act strong while suffering from PTSD and various other horrible mental problems. I would argue that coming back from a war and being "stronger" after seeing and possibly doing inhumane things is extremely rare and would actually only be possible for a psychopath.

[–]DaddyTaco 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

You're correct. I should have been more specific. Not everyone comes back stronger.

[–]Zippy1avion 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (1子コメント)

OP posted that he was a WWII vet in the Pacific Theater.

[–]JoffSides 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (0子コメント)

He played a vet in a WWII theatre production? Thats cool.

[–]oxeimon 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

[–]alnicoblue 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'll compromise on "awwwwsome"

[–]N8th8Gr8 26 ポイント27 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Seems a little condescending.

How else are you going to get karma other than by pimping out your children, grandpa, etc on reddit?

He should have said his CANCER-surviving grandpa turned 91 today. Now that would have gotten him 100K upboats.

[–]thesolitarythings 82 ポイント83 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Agreed. It's disrespectful to call old people "cute" or to "aww" at them like you would a puppy or kitten.

[–]RedditIsDumb4You 14 ポイント15 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Anything with the scent of death is not cute

[–]KingsBlade 60 ポイント61 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah, it's great that his grandfather has been fortunate to live so long, but /r/aww isn't the place for this.

[–]GregTheMad 55 ポイント56 ポイント  (3子コメント)

[–]songs_in_colour 16 ポイント17 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I know, right? I feel like this is an unwritten rule of this sub. Whenever I see non-animals here I'm like "the fuck is this shit"

[–]TexasSpeleo 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Right? Most people don't think your kids are cute. You're the main one who cares about your little shit

[–]bobbybobtron 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (0子コメント)

[–]CrudelyAnimated 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Looks like he ain't done, either.

[–]Dragmire800 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

He has killed people with his bear hands simply for not speaking English. He has hunted certain animals to extinction. You know the Indiana Jones movies? They were based on this guy's life... when he was 6 years old

[–]nightwing2024 495 ポイント496 ポイント  (6子コメント)

How is this aww?

It's an old man just standing there.

That's literally it.

[–]PurplePickel 117 ポイント118 ポイント  (2子コメント)

OP realised that their grandfather is coming along in years and realised that if they're going to exploit him for karma that they had better get a move on.

[–]DangerousPuhson 32 ポイント33 ポイント  (1子コメント)

My grandfather is 96... OH GOD WHERE'S MY CAMERA?!?!

[–]JakersIreland 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Bright side if he dies before you can exploit him, find a picture of any quality, lower the better, and post it to /r/pics with a story in the title about him having cancer, being/helping homosexuals or being anti Trump and reap that shitty karma

[–]LucasLeArtist 140 ポイント141 ポイント  (2子コメント)

I've never understood the whole "cute old person" thing. Seems kind of demeaning to me.

He looks great for 91! happy birthday, gramps!

[–]Masterchrono 120 ポイント121 ポイント  (16子コメント)

I read this as " he looks great for 911"

[–]clay_bertrand[S] 87 ポイント88 ポイント  (12子コメント)

He was born in June of '06. 1106 that is.

[–]Unfo_ 81 ポイント82 ポイント  (10子コメント)

I hate to break it to ya, but he's WAY older than 91 then dewd.

What an ageist patronising shit. I hope when you get old everyone 'aww's at you and makes you feel on the same level as a dog too.

WWII Vet, Guidance Counselor. They don't make them like this anymore.

EDIT: He was born in 1926 in Samnorwood, Texas. In August of 1944 he married my Grandmother Wanda. He was 18, she was 16. He met her on a hayride at a Church get together where she stated "he was the most charming gentleman and won my heart immediately". A month into their union he was shipped off to War where he fought the Japanese in the Philippines. When he returned from World War II he graduated from Texas Technological College which is now Texas Tech with a degree in Agriculture. He taught Agriculture for 20 years in Levelland, TX. He later earned his master’s degree in Education and became a High School Guidance Counselor for 25 years. He has been married to my Grandmother for nearly 73 years.

He has taught me everything I know. He has produced 10 grandkids and 16 great grandchildren.

When it looks like it’s going to storm he says “It’s about to come up a cloud”. When he is amazed by something he says “My lands…” or “Well I’ll declare…”. Its wrastling not wrestling and it’s worsh not wash. 1944

[–]songs_in_colour 21 ポイント22 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Mad respect for his war service, but there are much better subs for this than r/aww.

[–]bravefan92 30 ポイント31 ポイント  (3子コメント)

1) a big thanks for his service! 2) 73 years of marriage is incredible! I'd consider myself lucky to live that long, let alone be married that amount of time. That's amazing!

[–]TheRealUlta 23 ポイント24 ポイント  (3子コメント)

From one vet to another tell him thanks for his service. That was one hell of a war and if he got thanked every day it wouldn't be enough.

[–]Awesome_Otter 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

My Gramps was a WWII vet from Texas also. Tough old birds. I miss mine. He used the same quotes too...It about to come up a cloud is one I still use. :) cheers

[–]atrajicheroine 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Do you have any more information on his history in World War II? We would love to keep his memory alive in any way, military or civilian. He looks like a spritely young fellow!

[–]Phlerg 21 ポイント22 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Man, this "old people are cute" shit is extremely disrespectful. They're not little kids.

"Aww. How many people did you kill in the war? How precious! How many friends have you lost? So sweet!"

When great people get old, they should be venerated, not relegated to child/animal status.

Shame on you for this post, OP. Seriously. If you're going to karma whore your grandfather, at least find something for r/oldschoolcool. r/aww. God damn.

    I'm always impressed when I see really old people able to walk and do things for themselves still.

    My grandpa is a Vietnam vet, but at 78 he already can't walk or care for himself.
