[quote=Anonymous]Eleanor Roosevelt's visits to the hospitals where wounded and burned military men were being treated was quite nobel. I last 5 minutes on a ward at Ft. Belvoir filled with soldiers who were actually fairly well along in their treatment. I also thought it was impressive that so many of the Roosevelt men served in World War II and not in cushy behind-the-scenes post but on the battlefields. I commented to my husband last night that they were the last generation of honorable men. There are still honorable men but far fewer than we had then. Before the rants begin about honor and "killing babies" or whatever you DCUM pacifists spouts at me, I would also include in the honorable men of World War II men, one of whom I used to work for, who were actual pacifists but did things like participating in starvation projects so that the US could determine how to treat malnourished people they knew would emerge from the war.
