He was a genuine war hero, we're losing them all one of the few remaining politicians from the greatest generation he served his country well' honorably, and with distinction, ran for the Presidency in 1996, after he was a senator for a quarter of a century.

RIP. I just saw that. To be honest, I didn’t even realize he was still alive.

Over 200 WW II veterans die each day. RIP to each and every one

@Motorhead, I think we're losing them faster than that, there's still about 240,000 US WWII veterans

Sad news. He was a true leader, not a politician.

He outlived Norm Macdonald.

And as of yesterday, no more living officers of the Easy Company band of brothers.

It seems they don’t make them like that anymore. RIP Bob Dole.

Great American and true hero.

Also a Commander in Chief should know what it really means to commit American troops to battle. He understood better than any of us ever could.

RIP Bob Dole. He was a great man, and a leader. They don’t make them like him anymore.

Last year at this time Chuck Yeager, now Bob Dole. Two national treasures from the greatest generation who may have passed, but whose memories live on. RIP, and +1 on motorhead earlier post.

Capitol memorial service this morning and he will lie in state. Well deserved and a lovely ceremony.

Of course Biden threw in a reminder about himself and how he used to ride Amtrak all the time.

^ lol - bizarre vitriol for Bob Dole, of all people.

Even if you’re a true blue Democrat and that’s you team and what gives your life any meaning (no religion, work, family or hobbies that interest you?) Dole was at worse a very moderate Republican.

Reminds me of the guys who are so racist the complain about getting a day off with pay on MLK Day
