How World War II Vets Would Regard Trump, White Supremacy

My father piloted 29 successful bombing missions over Germany, knocking out Nazi oil refineries from 1942 until his plane was shot down in late 1944, and he and his men spent the last six months of the war in a prisoner-of-war camp.  He died in 2010, long before anyone thought it could be remotely possibly that the president of the United States would openly promote the supremacy of the “master race.”

In conversations with my mother, we often ponder how Dad would regard Trump and today’s national zeitgeist.  She points out that he was a conservative, which is true, but we both acknowledge that he was a man of honor and fairness.  I think he would join our nation’s top military in pointing out that there is not a single true American value that Trump reflects.

Sadly, we’ll never know.
