Not this thing again.

That's not what that is. He's crying because he couldn't keep up with the rest of the parade. There's plenty left you liar.
NikolaiJakovtheheadoftheKGB
Seems kinda redundant to do the parade if he’s the last one left. Just get him a nice card. Old people love to get cards
gavr1loo
This is so old, he prolly dont walk here anymore
Dayrest
Apparently he won

That balloon looks like a motorcycle helmet.

I hope that when the last vet passes his days, we dont forget their part in this world
Ghauf
So, "last" as in furthest behind, not "last" as in still alive.
allmypostsareofmydog
That's a really cool looking balloon
Kelevra16985
I dont know why, but that poor man made me rly sad. Why did they leave him behind? I want to hug him and walk by his side. Damn
Volimar
Something to make you sad (#2)

Every time it's reposted, it's explained the description is false.

This is sooooo old.

Breaks my heart everytime I see this.

I agree and we have seen it 20 times every year for years.

Nigga this fake news

An old man crying is about one of the saddest things to witness regardless of the circumstances.....

Really fucks me up this image.

Fake News...nnhhuuuuuusss!

...and a prime example of fake news. Because that's not what happened
Ohhhlookaunicorneatingasamurai

At least he had a purpose in life. He cries because he and his compadres lived and died for something.

And for the 1000th time, title is not the actual context of the picture.

What is the context then?

This guy doesnt even look old enough to have been in WWII
KuistiPanu
Old picture
Pheralg
maybe it did, the first time this was posted
Thatsagoodbid
Yes. As many times as this has been posted - and corrected - it seems ridiculous that it gets posted with the wrong info again and again.
AntiCircleJerker
New people looking for quick points, new people just seeing it and point whores with multiple accounts repost the thing like twice a month.
FarenDin
But I don’t understand. Why would it be important to have imgur points? Who cares about that? And event more: who cares?
AntiCircleJerker
NO IDEA. You can't even trade them in for a whistle or fake tattoos. Makes useless people with nothing going on feel special? My only guess.

See post from idontknowyoufromadam for the explanation.
ArentYouGladYouCanRead
He was upset he couldn't keep up with the group ahead of him
Nietsallinav
Obviously, he had a camera guy blocking his path the whole time.
idontknowyoufromadam
Apparently the photographer noted “The veteran was upset that he was behind the column with other veterans and could not catch up 1/2
Blackmetalhappiness
Thank you for posting the correct information.
Diverge
2/2 at the premiere, but was contacted by Pixar and offered a private showing at the studio for his friends and family.
VodkaReindeer
It's a nice photo but I'm guessing the photographer looked terrible while taking it.
Thatsagoodbid
Thank you! This photo always gets posted with incorrect info. I still feel sad for him not being able to keep up with everyone else.
Bystandr
I dont understand why they wouldnt have prepared and let them ride on a float in this instance. Short sight.
theslowestsloth
Why he was last I am unable to understand. He had difficulty in walking?
Xsiah
Well he is "last" and he is alone.
Shishoka
Those guys are a bunch of dicks. You march together. If one is slow then you slow down.
nanyatenyaa
Maybe he arrived late or something? We don't have a lot of background details. You can't stop an entire event for 1 person.
nanyatenyaa
The write up seems to suggest he s Russian and what is known is he lagged behind the veterans, not by how much, or why.
dustball23
That's not how parades work bro
GregGoodenough
Is there a video, or full picture?
idontknowyoufromadam
Here's the photographer's photo series "Victory Day". No video or bigger picture though. http://aleksandrpetrosyan.com/en/category/53/next/2
GregGoodenough
so basically no proofs? It just seems extremely stupid a fuckin ww2 veteran got upset by not being able "to catch up". Even sounds silly.
KeeleonOhms
So this guy is actually just a big baby?
thisusernameisuseless
Are you aware that you are an asshole?
ShluttieCharlesSendsHisRegards
It's not that he is a big baby... It's a cultural thing, you never leave anyone behind, and he just got left behind in a high emotion event
KeeleonOhms
Im aware of that. Its a joke that no one got. Too much Poes Law up in here.
LivesInThe90s
He's a veteran...so possible leg or back trouble.

Sometimes it's best to just have people think you're bit of a cunt, than open your mouth and remove all doubt.

I'd like to see you fight in a war and keep up with a parade 70 years later.

Someone get this man a segway
ohdeepthought
Aww poor guy :( I hope everyone slowed down. Also after this photo was taken I hope the camera man joined him.
OverMyDadBody
See, he was the last of the veterans marching group. The title is not incorrect just misleading
redheadsaremykryptonite
what do they mean behind the column? I mean I know a column is a pillar, but I can imagine this column of gandalf telling him he cant pass.
pugdogg55
The column of other marchers I'm assuming.
SinStar87
Military march in column formation, shoulder to shoulder. https://www.military.com/join-armed-forces/the-basics-of-marching.html

oh, that is what they mean, thank you!.
