Wtf is Jesse talking about, Tolkien fought in world war 1, not 2. The Hobbit came out in 1937. Mordore was inspired by his participation in battle of the somme, or so people say. Tolkien always publicly denied being inspired by the war.

Not saying the meme is true, but it's worth noting that The Two Towers, which this meme references, was published in 1954.
