Yes I find this disturbing. I am sort of an old guy who flew C-141A jets to most of the free world in my day. The best part of the jet was the American Flag painted on the tail.

I flew in the Zaire Airlift in 1978. Will never forget the image of our jets landing in the jungle at Kamina with the American Flag on their tails. I was so proud to be an American that day.

Good on you! Thanks for your service...it is funny that you say that.

I flew a few times on those C-141’s, and yes...there WAS something about that flag painted on them that made you proud to be American.

I was there at Andrews AFB when they flew some of the POW’s back, and I can tell you...as a 15 year old kid, I was damned proud to see that C-141 taxi down the runway in their white and gray MAC color scheme, with that flag painted on them.

It means something, and that is something liberals do not understand.
