Sort of related: my mother-in-law's friend (Harold age 98) from the sheltered housing where they both lived died today (26/05/20, GMT 01:00). The world has lost a truly honourable man (who I was proud to have known), he was a pilot in WW 2, sadly he refused to wear his medals or even talk about the war, he felt guilt for those that he killed. May he RIP.
 
Wasnt he a draft dodger?


Just came back from Snopes... Seems to confirm it. Entry looks like he was too fond of being a party animal to exchange the life of sex, drugs, and rock n' roll for military service, not for "political" reasons.


Definitely never knew that part about him...
