14 hours without a break. Man, that's some serious hatred. BTW, what did Byrd do in WWII? I know he wrote an infamous letter complaining that he'd never serve in a desegregated military but did he serve at all?
No mention of military service on his Senate website.
"I am loyal to my country and know but reverence for her flag. But I shall never submit to fight beneath that banner with a Negro by my side. Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt, never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels."
Sounds like a lame excuse to me. And God bless everyone who serves and has served in our military, whatever their color.
