The pantywaists at NU need to mentally picture this. During WWII a US fighter pilot managed to return to his carrier even though the plane was severely damaged. The crew of the carrier were able to extract the pilot from his plane. The plane took a direct hit in the area directly behind the pilot. This is where the gunner sat with his back to the pilot to protect the plane from enemy aircraft approaching from the rear and out of view of the pilot.

The gunner died immediately on impact of the antiaircraft projectile, and the damage to the plane made it impossible to extract the gunner from the plane. The sailors had to push the plane overboard with the gunner still in the plane. They then had to immediately resume their duty stations and continue to receive other planes returning from their mission against the enemy.

Those crew members were the same ages as the snowflakes at Northwestern University who can’t stomach a picture of Jeff Sessions.

Every student at NU should be required to read The Dead and Those About To Die by by John C. McManus. The book is about D-Day and the Big Red One at Omaha Beach. On second thought, they may become so traumatized that classes would have to be suspended for who knows how long.

Schools have stripped children of cultural memory. All white history is bad. The only true just history is that told by the 'oppressed'.

They no longer recognize true heroics. These young 'adults' only see themselves as 'victims'.
