My parents also disliked FDR, for all the same reasons, plus he lowered the draft age to18. This caused my only brother to be drafted straight out of high school in 1942, subsequently to be killed in the Battle of Saipan in July of 1944.
Indeed, we have seen a lot of history in the making.
Yes under FDR, you could be graduated from High school at barely age 18 and then killed or seriously wounded 6-8 months later.
