Scott Kelly, a retired American astronaut with multiple space flights under his belt, apologized Sunday after quoting Winston Churchill and calling the 20th century British prime minister "one of the greatest leaders of modern times."

"Did not mean to offend by quoting Churchill. My apologies. I will go and educate myself further on his atrocities, racist views which I do not support. My point was we need to come together as one nation. We are all Americans. That should transcend partisan politics," Kelly wrote on Twitter in the evening.

Either this is satire, or Kelly is an idiot. Or, perhaps he’s just a Nazi who was told by his Leader who was responsible for Hitler’s defeat.

There are posters here that can’t stand WC.

I think he is one of the great iconic figures of the age.

This astronaut is sucking up to the gravy train his wife got him into with the gun grabbers. He left his balls in orbit.

That is because that you were taken in by that verdammte Allied propaganda! Such filthy lies! They told lies! But nobody ever said a bad word about Winston Churchill, did they? No! ‘Win with Winnie!’ Churchill! With his cigars. With his brandy. And his rotten painting, rotten! Hitler - there was a painter! He could paint an entire apartment in one afternoon! Two Coats! Churchill. He couldn’t even say ‘Nazi’. He would say ‘Noooo-zeeehz, Nooooooooooooo-zeeehz!’ It wasn’t Noses! It was Nazis! Churchill!...Let me tell you this! And you’re hearing this straight from the horse. Hitler was better looking than Churchill. He was a better dresser than Churchill. He had more hair! He told funnier jokes! And he could dance the pants off of Churchill!...Churchill!

for pete’s sake, Britain was literally fighting for it’s national life in 1943. The Germans were constantly bombing the island nation and preparing for an invasion. I can’t imagine much attention being paid to any other part of the Empire.

Bombing yes. And it was worse in 44' with the V-1 and V-2.

But the Germans were incapable of invasion in 1940 and it was the stuff of fantasy in 43'.

And Britain's entire strategy in 43' was saving the Empire.

Churchill wanted another invasion in the Mediterranean and was obsessed with protecting the Suez canal in 43'.

This fool is evidently an asstronaught. And the spelling is intentional. He is not fit to even stand in the presence of such greatness as Winston Churchill.

Maybe Bezos or Musk will drop him off somewhere on one of their upcoming space flights.

Scott Kelly needs to go on a space walk without a tether, or oxygen for that matter.

What a spineless PC suck up.

There will come a day when we’ll fly to the moon just to remove our flag and erase armstrong’s footprint.

No Scott you don’t get gofundme money for dissing Churchill

From looking at the forces available including landing craft I suspect a ‘Second Front Now’ invasion in mid-43 would have produced a very big version of the Anzio Beachead. Which, I believe, is what WSC was concerned would happen. He never thought the Germans would crush the landing as they did at Dieppe. It would be to big for that. But contain it and turn it into a sort of the second coming of Gallipoli, that did have a good chance of happening. A year later the correlation of forces was really heavily tipped towards the Anglo-Americans.

Such unadulterated b/s. I for one, will NEVER come together with ANY lib or media bug....traitors all.

As for "coming together as a nation", see my tagline.

Reagan's plan was correct.

We win, they lose.

Dems are America's enemy, as they seek to destroy all it was founded upon.
