People of color are offended by the slightest things white people say today.
For instance, if the General had said "Drunker than 10,000 Irishmen," no one would have been offended.
Or hornier than 10,000 Italians!
Great point
Great point and that is because millions of them have grown up playing the victim where as we were and am told to get on with it.
Remember when it was sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me?
I teach those to my kids today, shame others can’t tell their kids to get in the real world and stop being a victim all the time.
Who cares what any of the "offended" groups think (when they think at all).
On the other hand, just because he was a general doesn't mean he was competent or that he wasn't part of the 99% who are political appointees/hacks rather than real leaders. Things in the AF were going downhill before the horror years of Merrill "Manly Man" McPeak.
