“He’s compensating for his sins as an unconscientious bomber pilot in WWII.”
Actually George McGovern was an excellent bomber pilot during WWII. He flew 35 combat missions over Europe as the pilot of a B-24 Liberator bomber, and certainly earned his Distinguished Flying Cross and Silver Star for gallantry in action against the NAZIs.
George McGovern is currently a foolish and misguided old man, but as a young man he was a hero who did his duty to help keep America free.
