Thank you for your service.
Edit: HE FOUND THE STRAINER!!!
I don't think people should be judged for the actions of their parents.
I'm not proud of all of my grandparents. My dad's father was a violent alcoholic who beat my dad, his mother, and his siblings almost to death several times. My dad's the gentlest man I know. I've never heard him raise his voice in anger. Not all his siblings are good people. Not all of my cousins are good people. Some of them have substance abuse issues. I don't think I or any of them deserve to be called that man's spawn.
Do you?
I'm very happy to judge Louis Mosley on the basis of his own actions. I think it's fair to point out who his grandfather was and what effect that may have had on both his politics and his ability to get in a position to do more vile things. Calling him Oswald Mosley's spawn only hurts the dozens of other children and grandchildren of Oswald Mosley who didn't turn out to be vile fascists., and more broadly, anyone else who has a parent or grandparent they wish they didn't. Please don't.
Sorry

That sucks. How are you feeling?
