Talk:Louis "Red" Deutsch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If this guy was born in 1890 how was he a paratooper in WWII. He would have been 51 when the U.S entered the war far too old for a paratrooper.
- He's a fvcking patriot, man! Lighen up! He was bodily heaving drunks airborne out of his bar by the belt-n-collar at 70! He was a tough cheekzigger, you yellow red bastid!

- listen, this is all bullshit about red being a paratrooper in WWII. red served during the war alright- he served cold beer and strong booze on the frontlines in jersey city. however, to my knowledge, the records are not particularly clear on red's activities during WWI; red would have been in his 20's then. he MAY have served in the U.S. military during that conflict, but certainly NOT as a paratrooper (there was no such thing at the time; the soviet union army developed the paratrooper concept in the 1930's).
[edit] Birth/death date
Jim Davidson recently posted Red's social security number [1] and looking it up on [2] provides the information that he was born 16 Sep 1895 and died Sep 1985. IrisKawling 03:35, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
