Tbf, H, a century ago da yoot had just spent five years being forced to run into machine gun fire on the orders of their elderly generals, with the full support of their parents' generation back in Blighty*. So it's fair enough if this time it's the oldies that get it.

The great writers of WW2 didn't whinge, did they? Currie, Goodson, Deere, Johnson... they recounted their experiences in a spirit of forebearance and good humour.
No, I'm afraid the literature of the first lot is a hotbed of leftism.
