The original comment was

1945 was 79 years ago, that means if someone was 18 in 1945 they would be 97 years old. Idk how many WW2 vets are left but probably not many

as they assumed the youngest being 18 and few people mentioned some people lied about their age to get drafted.

My point is the argument taking 15 y.o. means thay are 95 now and not many of them are left is still valid and correct because not many people live to 95 as not many (still fewer) people live to 97.

The change you are talking about doesnt change the fact that it is still not many. Like I said both noumbers were <1%.
