Leftists have gone on the attack against the U.S. Air Force Academy football team for honoring the WWII Doolittle Raid on Japan that occurred immediately after the Japanese sneak attack on Pearl Harbor.
On Tuesday, Air Force Football revealed its new uniforms, which feature a tribute to the Doolittle Raid.
Left-wing trolls blasted the Air Force for celebrating the raid conducted by American heroes who showed Japan that the U.S. was not down for the count after taking such heavy losses at Pearl.

We could charitably assume they are confusing the Doolittle raid with the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings…but to them, I am no longer charitable.
...and also, get ejected through the windscreen of the bird, and have your leg amputated in a third world field hospital.
If everybody just ignored these idiots they would go away in time.
I’ve been watching the multi-part series on the raid narrated by Gary Sinise over the past five or six days. There’s a Youtube video of all episodes strung together. It makes the story a bit repetitive but it’s quite good. Also I’ve seen enough B-25 Mitchell video to last a lifetime.
Anyway the episode I watched tonight pointed out that at the very same time as the Doolittle raiders were riding the Hornet over toward Japan, the Bataan Death March was occurring.
I have spent a lot of time in SE Asia. The Social Justice idiots who try to paint the Japanese as victims because the US was mainly white, and the Imperial Japanese were the poor, picked-on “other” racial minority, are completely oblivious to what the Japanese did to other Asians in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, etc.
I spent time in Singapore in the early 90s, and there were still middle-aged people who were still quite riled up at the Japanese for what they’d done in WWII.
I was lucky enough to actually kiss the fuselage of the Enola Gay when it was being restored at the Garver military restoration center (I had a special DOJ access permission pass). That plane probably saved the life of my father-in-law and other friends who were being prepared for the invasion of the Japanese mainland.
This new generation of ignorant douchebags need to be re-educated along with their American MARXIST teachers. That is why Freepers are so valuable, to teach the illiterates,no-nothings, brainwashed and marxists/fascists real history by those who experienced it and made it.
Watch the AFA roll over and show their belly on 5his issue…..
