Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIL that World War One flying ace Eddie Rickenbacker became a long-time head of Eastern Air Lines and survived well into the 1970s by DAT_DROP

Chill as Lauryn Hill in a Brazil Goodwill, I'm just saying a guy living to 82 isn't particularly remarkable. Even the way you're characterizing it lol, WW1 was over by 1918, he didn't have to survive the war from 1914 to the 1970s. It's not an international incident here, I just found the wording funny. He "survived well into the 1970s" as if that's at all remarkable for someone who fought in WW1.
