I read this as a haiku.
I read this in the style of "Normal Tuesday Night for Shia Labeouf"
How old are the people you're talking about?
My granddad was too young to fight in world war II.
Or was there some kind of light German sniper situation I wasn't aware of?
Grandpa fought in WWI, lost an eye in the Pacific
I turn 29 in a few months, I'm not even the youngest of my generation in my family to call him grandpa, that person's 8
My grandfather was born in the 30s and only died like a year or two ago, and I'm on the younger end of his line (my oldest cousin is about to be a grandma, and I'm a millennial).
To fight in WW2 you would have to be born in the early 1920 (to fight at the start of the war) or the mid 1920s at the latest, so I would say about 100-105 years old or roughly 2 1/2 generations of very late parents (having kids around 40) ago.
