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.

Thank you for that added info, Tamar.

An unreliable source at best.
