Nope! Sorry to tell you but he thought the guys in the battles were pussies and hippies and that's why we lost the war. I had many conversations about this with him and there was no mistaking his meaning. He also thought the Jews control much of the world and on the day Thomas was confirmed to the SCOTUS he stood in his driveway and called out to me that "I can't believed they put that nigger on the court!"
Turns out surviving a terrible event or even being a war hero doesn't make you either a good person or a smart man.
I honor and admire his service to his country during WWII. But disagree with just about everything that ever came out of his mouth once I got to know him.
