And a World War II veteran. Seeger was (and maybe still is) blind to the fascism of the far left, but he is a US veteran and he served honorably.
I find it interesting that Seeger and a self proclaimed commie like Dashiell Hammett didn’t hesitate to enlist to fight. The Left just wouldn’t hear of this today. They are utterly devoid of patriotism.
And we thank him for his service, however being a WWII veteran does not make you a pro-American or smart in that respect. He’s an old lefty and it shows.
When the soviet Union signed a nonaggression pact with the Nazis, the American left thought Hitler was a fine fellow and lobbied heavily for the US to stay out of the war. But once Hitler invaded Russia, they became violently anti Nazi and clamored for America to go to war with Germany. Benedict Arnold was a great patriot and fighter in the revolution, until he flipped and became a traitor.
