I read day before yesterday that he was at the palliative care stage. Condolences to the family.

What happened, George?

McGovern volunteered for the U.S. Army Air Forces upon the country's entry into World War II and as a B-24 Liberator pilot flew 35 missions over German-occupied Europe. Among the medals awarded him was a Distinguished Flying Cross for making a hazardous emergency landing of his damaged plane and saving his crew.

RIP

He was always more heart than brains. The leftists miss those sort of folks now. I disagreed with him on EVERYTHING that mattered, but he was still a good fellow....I mean for a leftist.  There are so few like him remaining on their side, it is not a good thing that he is dead now.

I applaud his service in the war, but politically he was on the wrong side of history to say the least.
