“Liberals are cowards, why are there no liberal war heroes?”

Former US Senator and democrat candidate for President, George McGovern flew 35 combat bombing missions in B24 Liberators (notoriously difficult aircraft to fly) over Europe during WWII and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. I’d say he rates as a liberal war hero...

He wasn't a liberal while flying the combat missions.

He became a liberal after the war.

I suggest "The Wild Blue"...excellent read.

And, as far as McGovern's politics...I think that he'd be considered a "moderate" today. Maybe even a "conservative".
