Went to the funeral of a WWII veteran today. A heavy machine-gunner in the 100th Infantry Division, he helped retake France in 1944. Purple Heart. Two bronze service stars. His division liberated over 100 French villages & towns, never once retreating. Legit war hero.
He was 98.
And he was Jewish.
And he was my father-in-law.
And anyone advocating we teach "both sides" of the Holocaust or questioning the ethics of our fighting Nazis with every weapon we had is asking for a punch in the face.
