I'd vote for Mike as president in 2020. Hell, I'd vote for his dog as long as Mike is the VP.

He is a good guy. Pro 2A and makes good decisions. He is an opera singer too.

Great back story. That picture and the little girl running burned by napalm, the two most famous pics of that war.

1944. Florence, Italy
The photo is of a partisan fighter in Florence, in the Tuscany region north of Rome.
La Resistenza was a partisan umbrella group of about a quarter-million members operating behind enemy lines from 1943 to 1945. As is usual, their weapons came from soldiers who escaped capture, those taken from the enemy, and air drops by the Allies. They also made off with new submachine guns stolen in quantity straight from the Beretta production lines.
Most fighting was classic guerrilla warfare in the rugged mountains of the interior. La Resistenza is said to have tied up six or seven German divisions, including two divisions that surrendered to them in 1945 and led to the collapse of the Occupation in northwest Italy. They also smuggled escaped POWs into Switzerland or across Allied lines, and supported Italian Jews evading deportation to the camps.
Before evacuating Florence the Germans held public executions of captured partisans. La Resistenza suffered about 50,000 killed or missing.
