Shouldn’t the Army have that on their uniforms instead of the Air Force.


It could really go either way.

Sure, the Air Force wasn't created until just after the Second World War but those members of the Army Air Force who fought in World War II and remained in the service after the war had concluded were to a man folded into the Air Force.

But when those missions were flown, they were flown by the U.S. Army.

It’s so strange how these bleeding hearts couldn’t care less about what Japan did during the war because they did it to a bunch of Chinese people. It all comes down to who did you massacre.


The average educated young liberal who thinks the way these people do is normally less educated than a sister fricking Alabama redneck.

the Japanese had picket boats with radios that the task force ran into. They sunk the boats, but they knew the Japanese had gotten off a position report on the task force.

They picked up some sailors from those sunken picket boats.
They decided to launch earlier than planned that's why the planes had trouble making it to their planned areas.

I would bet a majority of those complaining think the Doolittle Raid dropped the atomic bombs.

anyone who is pissed at this fundamentally doesn't understand what the Doolittle Raid was


Just recently read “Target Tokyo”
About the history of the Doolittle raid.

Really good book and I did not know a lot about it.

caused the Japanese to kill 250,000 Chinese that helped Americans.


While that is unfortunate, do you think China could ever recover to the point that the Maoist regime could kill 40-80 million of their own people a decade or so later?
