This is a Joke right?

This man claims to be a member of 116th Regiment of 29th and on D-Day.

According to the WWII doc's I looked at:

Otto Bernard
Draft board 104, San Mateo County:
Granite Mountain Record Vault Records (Utah).

These cards represent older men, ages 45 to 65 in April 1942, that were registered for the draft. They had birth dates between 28 Apr 1877 and 16 Feb 1892.
Meaning he'd be 129 + year old.

Of course there could have been 2 Otto Bernard's in the 166th of 29th also.

NOTE:
United States World War II Draft Registration Cards, and other service data is available online... but it takes access certain databases and still a lot of searching.

#4 A number of Rantburgers maintain a kitty into which they put a dollar every time a Babylon Bee piece fools them, then donate the proceeds to Rantburg at the next Bleg.

Hints, routinely ignored, are that it says — as Rambler and Frank G jointly point out — Babylon Bee in square brackets at the top of the article and the fact that article is posted in Opinion, as is all intentional humour.

But I must say, NN2N1, your research skills are seriously impressive.

Now lets sit back and see how many others find themselves a dollar poorer today. ;-)
