... Harry Truman was an effective artillery unit commander in the first World War, in, and this is overseas, France.
Harry Truman was also a real farmer, not a vacation brush trimmer. Farming is hard work now but it was brutal then. Harry was not in the loop on much that Roosevelt was doing, for sure, but Harry in the Senate was a serious Senator who did real work in that body. Harry Truman was no slacking beer blasting non-flying service-avoiding frat boy or jive phony cowboy or by no means a beauty queen. Harry Truman was a real man.
Harry Truman has nothing to do with George Bush or Sarah Palin. Whole other category of individual.
