    No, the class and really the whole school is so overwhelming liberal. I guess I'm a coward. I wish you were there!

    But when the gentleman said "war crimes", I did loudly reply, "Oh come on!!".

    P-51 Mustang. Greatest fighter of WWII, that's the one that escorted our bombers from Britain over Germany thanks to the drop-tanks under their wings that gave them the range.


    Nothing angers me more than lowlifes slandering the Greatest Generation for doing what had to be done. I'd be 86'd from that class in short order.

    It is infuriating. My dad captured two Germans in the forest near Monte Cassino, and was awarded a Bronze Star. I have a real emotional connection to their bravery. It's like slandering them.
