Recently re read the right stuff. We’ve fallen a long way from those can do days.

I’ll revisit his former exploits to my sons but I cannot overlook his later political career. It was disappointing

RIP John Glenn.

I consider his orbiting the Earth to be the highwater mark of American culture and contribution. Not to say that there haven't been good stretches since then, but I consider the general trend to be downward after this.

Glenn turned into a POS in the Senate

Good riddance and may he burn in Hell.

BTW I'm amazed he is being lionized here, he was no friend of ours.

I met him once when I was in the Air Force. He was a very nice and personable man. He was also very funny. He made us all laugh at his stories. RIP Sir. Go with God.
