I love how very old people will just tell you shit they've never dropped in your whole life, like my Pop-Pop was a few months away from dying and was like, "Well the Tuskegee Airmen escorted our squadron, also once I saw a Nazi on fire fall to his death" and I was like "..."

Anyway sometimes that's how you learn how your grandpa became an anti-segregationist and also anti-military but pro-veteran for the rest of his life. Just a casual conversation, sure.

BTW I asked follow-up questions and his commentary included that the Red Tails were "the best of the best, without parallel, we were blessed to fly with them" and that he "had no use for Nazis. None at all." WHAT in the understated old person.
