THE fact that young people would struggle to cope in World War Two may not be a problem, it has emerged.

Despite media commentators frequently arguing that modern teens lack the qualities required to win WW2, historians believe the chances of them having to fight in a 1940s global conflict are in fact quite small.

Historian Denys Finch Hatton said: The main reason it doesn’t matter is because of the linear nature of time.

“But if somehow World War Two was going to happen again thered be plenty of warning, like Angela Merkel spending all her time watching massive panzer parades instead of going to tedious EU trade meetings.

We could probably still utilise our obese youngsters by building Spitfires with bigger cockpits and a charger for their phone so they could text each other during dogfights.

Spending thousands of hours playing Call of Duty has given teenagers lightning reflexes, thorough knowledge of WW2 weapons and a virulent hatred of Germans and the Japanese.

The horrendous levels of abuse during online play have also probably rendered them impervious to all but the most brutal interrogation by the enemy.

WW2 veteran Roy Hobbs said: During D-Day I literally shat myself, but they never put that in the war films for some reason.

Still, I did nick loads of things from abandoned houses, so it wasnt all bad.
