My grandfather was a Republican most of his life and spent part of his 20s killing Nazis during the push into Berlin.

Helped liberate a few POW and concentration camps, too.

Absolutely amazing, what a hero. Wonder what he’d have to say about some people from America and other Allied nations getting into bed with Nazis now.

He left the Republican party after they were wearing Purple Heart band aids at their convention. He was never very religious and that whole evangelical thing rubbed him the wrong way already, so it didn't take much to drive him out.

My dad always said the line "Voted for Eisenhower 'cause Lincoln won the war" was about him.
