Was reading up on WWII vet Tony Bennett earlier today. A lifelong Democrat, due to his experience with the Great Depression and the utter incompetence of Repuke Herbert Hoover. Being an Italian from Noo Yawk, his racist Southern sarge hated him, and put him on KP duty. Very little has changed in the South, sadly.
Gotta love Tony.
