So, our armed forces, at Iwo Jima, was fighting against...fascism??

8. My dad flew a fighter plane from an aircraft carrier.

He did his duty, and never spoke much about it
or his heroism because he thought the ones who
died were the real heroes.

Nearly 60 years later he married a wife who helped
turn him into a Fox news idiot... unlike my mother
who kept him in line somewhat.

What he would think about these past four years and
the events of yesterday, I'm not sure. I hope he would
have come back to his senses, but I'll never know for
sure.
