They served their country so regardless of skin color or PC revisionism they are worthy of praise in my opinion.
Your opinion is rather...
BIASED
However, the claim that they "sucked" -- comparatively speaking -- is true.
"[based on] the stats on all of the 16 fighter groups flying in the Eighth Air Force over western Europe [...] the Tuskegee Airmen rank at the bottom of the list despite the fact that they had four squadrons to only three for the 8th AF groups. FYI, and one of the reasons the T/A exploit their 15,000+ sorties (which they call missions) is that on a normal mission they would put up 64 fighters compared to only 48 for the 8th AF groups . And, since they did mostly ground support missions rather than bomber escort missions, the average length of their missions was about half that of the time in the air flown by the 8th AF fighters"

So, they wren't as good as the other units with comparable missions. They still defended Americans of all colors, and we value their service, which should not be politicized by race-baiters like the pResident's Beard.
When they say “He” they mean Michael, right ?
I don’t know who this “Mrs Obama” fella is. The presidents last name is “Soetoro” and his transgender life-partner is Michael.
And that’s all fine and dandy but please, get out of the white house.
Osama...Obama...what’s the difference?
1578 combat missions, 1267 for the Twelfth Air Force; 311 for the Fifteenth Air Force
179 bomber escort missions,[38] with a good record of protection,[59] losing bombers on only seven missions and a total of only 27, compared to an average of 46 among other 15th Air Force P-51 groups[61]
112 enemy aircraft destroyed in the air, another 150 on the ground[38] and 148 damaged
950 rail cars, trucks and other motor vehicles destroyed (over 600 rail cars[38])
One destroyer put out of action. The ship concerned had been classified as a destroyer (Giuseppe Missori) by the Italian Navy, before being reclassified by the Germans as a torpedo boat, TA 22. It was attacked on 25 June 1944. The German Navy decommissioned it on 8 November 1944, and finally scuttled it on 5 February 1945.[35][62][63]
40 boats and barges destroyed[38]
The combat record of the Tuskegee Airmen speaks for itself:
over 15,000 combat sorties (including 6000+ for the 99th prior to July ‘44)
111 German airplanes destroyed in the air, another 150 on the ground
950 railcars, trucks, and other motor vehicles destroyed
1 destroyer sunk by P-47 machine gun fire (Lt. Pierson’s flight)
sixty-six pilots killed in action or accidents
thirty-two pilots downed and captured, POWs
150 Distinguished Flying Crosses earned
744 Air Medals
8 Purple Hearts
14 Bronze Stars
Ozero turned a MILD recession into a near-depression back in 2008. The economy was already slow. But, the sh*t REALLY hit the fan when it became clear to the job creators that a hard-core communist and race hustler was about to become president.
Once it became clear that OZER would win, companies rightfully started hoarding cash and sending it to offshore tax havens Merely by leading in the polls, he tanked the economy. His policies have made things progressively worse since then. Net new jobs have been less than zero for the past 8 years.
Add to the Kenyan Usurper’s big tax increases on EVERY taxpayer and his vast expansion of food stamps and other giveaways, it’s surprising the country is still here.
The only thing he can point to is the stock market. But that is a scam. The Fed has been printing funny money like crazy and using it to buy stocks. When the truth comes out, there will be a massive crash — at least an 80% drop in the S&P 500 and the Dow.
I guarantee the Kenyan and his tranny “wife” will not attend Trump’s inauguration. They will be on a jet heading to whatever African hellhole has offered them asylum — with a cargo hold filled with American tax dollars and loot from the White House.
I though that issue had already been settled.../s
Old bat is living in the past.
Racism is a business that benefits the black race and its carnival barkers especially, across the board because we entertain it and we cower from it instead of hitting them straight on with the lies and bullsh##
Actually, that photo makes me envious.
I bet in Michelle’s speech, she never mention “LOVE” once.
The love for the country, the love for fellow countrymen, the love of God and for God, ..... etc.
Not once.
EXCELLENT letter. It should be published everywhere. Drop it in flyers all over the country.
Do you think she got schlonged?
The Marine Corps only recognizes TWO COLORS.
1: GREEN
and
2: RED
The first is the color of EVERY MARINE; the second is the color they bleed to make sure this loudmouthed idiot can spew her hate.
The Obamas are not much different than Sharpton and JJackson. They have to keep racial tension and strife up for them to be able to further their own agendas.
Community organizing continues.
If people are content, they don’t need community organizers. Thus, the community organizers need malcontents.
Lady Obama continues to further the cause — the ole race card, they don’t leave home without it.
Watch for the audit letter from the irs.
