The city I live in was after London, along with Coventry the most heavily bombed in England. Only yesterday I was photographing inside the remains of a bombed out Christian church, that stands as a reminder at the entrance to our City centre. I made an installation once about the life of a disabled man from here, who unable to serve as a soldier, stayed home and worked as an air raid warden. He had a crippled hand but still saved many people and children from burning buildings etc. That generation were something else.
It's not OK to summarily discredit the "old timers" for "what they should have/could have" done, whilst in another thread flip-flopping for the whole forum to see. Were the men and women of that era valiant and courageous? YES. Nobody including myself is questioning or disagreeing with that. But FFS Beanz, can you stay on one consistent track for once in your life?
