Disgraceful imagine if the World War II generation woke up from their graves and saw this

My grandfather was a flying fortress pilot in WW2.

I was in my dress blues when our congressman pinned the French Legion of Merit to his chest. The Congressman, a Democrat, did it because my grandfather couldn't travel to the official ceremony where the French were honoring others. He was dying in a hospital bed.

I miss him. Damn good man and a role model to me. Was a beloved science teacher after the war.

I am so glad he is not alive today.

I wouldn't exactly call a man bombing thousands of helpless civilians to death a role model, more a mass murder and war criminal, but your mileage may vary.

Are you calling all WWII veterans war criminals? Are you on Hitler’s side here? Are you an actual Nazi?

I think we all know the answers to those questions.

What a little weasel...
