Maybe he has Alzheimer's or something, because this seems very strange coming from him. I was disgusted by his pro-euthanasia position in "Million Dollar Baby" but this is deplorable. We were only fighting Japan because they attacked us.
A fact lost in the current situation.

Sad, but I believe you are correct. The old man is losing it. Those of us who idolized him for his sphagetti westerns and his Dirty Harry movies, might find it hard to forgive this outrageous revision of history. But remember that dementia can lead to hallucinations, and it is obvious the old man is hallucinating. God have mercy on his soul.
I think we are born liberals, once we can process information we become conservatives, and as we age and get into our latter years we move back to being more liberal as we feel weaker and more vulnerable.
