"Since Hitler was a corporal" nghĩa là gì?


"Since Hitler was a corporal" = từ khi Hitler còn là hạ sĩ -> nghĩa là từ rất lâu rồi; Hitler từng được cho rằng đã phục vụ trong Thế Chiến I ở cấp bậc hạ sĩ, tuy nhiên, các nhà sử học vẫn tranh cãi về điều này.

Ví dụ
There’s an essay (bài luận) by Gustav Hasford, who wrote The Short-Timers, which Full Metal Jacket is based on. He’s reviewing Rambo in Penthouse magazine. It’s a wild review. He calls it the “Triumph (thắng lợi) of the Will for American Nazis.” But at one point he says, “Why did we go to war? They’ve been trying to figure that out since Hitler was a corporal. We were young, and the young love to travel.”

"I tell you I'm happy to be here," Campbell said. "At my age I'm happy to be anywhere. It seems like I've been doing this since Hitler was a corporal."

Sure, he lost a few games and was sometimes surprised by them like the time he said in a post-game press conference: "They hadn't beat us since Hitler was a corporal." The man wearing #11 on his Florida State Seminole uniform was unique in many ways that make his story worth reading.

“I don’t know,” he replies. “There’s the old joke – I’ve been doing this since Hitler was a corporal,” he chuckles (cười thầm).
