Yep. As always it’s about politics for the pinkos. This vet was a leftist so he is/was feted by them.

His family must have a spare room now. Will they be giving it to a refugee?

This guy is described in the article as a leftist. While of course we mourn the death of one who served with our ally during WWII, I am wondering why the mental meanderings of yet another leftard are posted here. Let this guy’s heirs give away all his estate to those filthy criminal invaders, who look like they should be wearing flea collars.

A most excellent question!

These people need to put up or shut up.

What a sad, sorry, misguided soul. The point of being a perpetual rebel is that you never have to grow up and take responsibility for your actions.
