The WWII generation slips away — and takes America with it.

At least there was Hall to keep Dingell from being the torchbearer. Dingell, despite being a veteran, is worthless.

Don't we still have vets from Korea and Vietnam?
In my book they are blue-ribbon, bona fide HEROES too.

I personally know Mr. Hall. My former boss was a friend of his. He’s a pretty good dude. That being said, he needs to go......

Both of these gentlemen serve as excellent examples of why term limits on federal politicians is such a good idea.
My thought: you’ve got 16 years. Spend it anyway you want between the House and Senate.

“”Navy Lieutenant Hall, a Republican, joined in 1942 and was an aircraft carrier pilot. He was elected to the House in 1980 and has held his seat for 17 terms.””
This is confusing - is he or isn’t he still in the House? Wikipedia has him as a current member but also losing his seat in a runoff in 2014.

Ralph Hall(R) 17 terms, 34 years. Started his career as a professional politician as a Democrat, then switched parties as the winds changed.
John Dingell(D) 29+ terms. 59 years. he replaced his father who held the seat from 1933 until 1955. He will be replace by his wife. His wife? Yep, she is about 30 years younger than he. If she can just hold on to it for the next 20 years, that one seat will have been held by three members one family for a century.
Yep, the People’s House, just as the founders envisioned it.
I honor their contributions and service during WWll, but like John McCain, they have coasted on that sevice for the rest of their lives.

The one bright and shining contribution to the public discourse was when Rep. John Dingell (D-MI) and NRA board member called members of the ATF “jackbooted thugs” after their shooting of Ken Ballew in a botched June 7, 1971, raid on his apartment. Since then, Dingell’s integrity has gone to zero and he's now just an elder scumbag ‘Rat.

The “Great War” was World War I, but I suppose anyone can be a journalist these days.
