Pinging a few Canteen folks to respond to narby's attack on the behavior of our U.S. Military during WW II based solely on the diary of Charles Lindbergh.

Comments or responses to these unfounded accusations anyone?

Please ping any with information to refute these attacks.

Thanks.

It's well known that Lindbergh opposed our participation in WW2 in the first place. He was a staunch pacifist.

While he lived in Europe in the 1930's, he toured air force installations all over Europe, including the German Air Force. Hermann Goering, gave Lindbergh a high German decoration, which Lindbergh accepted at the time and so far as I know never recanted or sent back.

He was also involved in the America First movement of the time, which was accused by some of being antisemitic.

I don't think if Lindbergh as an unbiased source of information on this point. Was he as bas as Murtha is now? No, but I don't think he was pro-military, even thought he did serve in WW2.
