WWII veterans and Korean War vets didn't think much of Eleanor. Stuck her nose where she shouldn't have. Admiral Halsey wouldn't let her ride on the flag ship. She was not well liked, and that comes from several sailors and a couple of marines I talked to 10 years after the big war, and just a short time after Korea.

I did not know that BosnMate. Thank you for sharing.
My father was a veteran of both those wars, btw. Though we never had the "Eleanor Roosevelt" talk.

I kinda try to use the saying as a compass, to catch myself if I am gossiping, or if someone wants to have a mind numbing conversation about what cher was wearing last week, or who mileys riding this week, or what vampire bit who,
things like that.
