Give me a break....it’s not like they were shooting at the pocture. What is the big deal? Fun is now verboten?

If there was a target on his face then I would agree with you. I'm just too old to care about this pc crap. However, I can understand your point of view. I tend to give people the benefit of doubt, I just think the USAF made a mistake in naming the event.

I don’t think holding the event would have been a mistake, just that the poster shown was poorly designed.

As someone suggested above, they could have had a Lee-Jackson Day event. That was a holiday when I was a girl in Virginia.

Ten or fifteen years ago there was a (real) photo circulating, showing a sign on the wall of a drug store, wishing all African-American patrons well on MLK Day—taped to the wall right over a display of bags of cotton balls.

For the last several years, a few friends and I open a bottle of Rebel Yell bourbon, and raise glasses to Marse Robert. It’s all we can do in the face of the despicable revisionism that’s occurring these days.

At $10 a round, they ought to be at least 20mm rounds, even if it is MLK on the target.

ROFL! That was not a smart thing to do.

But hey ... a Ground Zero Victory Mosque, now that’s a great idea!
