With all due respect to General Tibbits, I can honestly say that he is a disgrace to the proud uniform of the United States Army.

You are the one who is a disgrace. How many wars have you fought in and helped to win for the United States? General Tibbets is a patriotic American who helped to turn the tide in WWII. He should hold his head up high in knowing that he served his country well and wore his uniform proudly. General Tibbets is a true American hero.

Just because I haven't had the honor of fighting in a war doesn't mean that I don't have a right to point out when someone makes a statement that is morally repugnant and in opposition to everything America has ever stood for. I served my country as an officer of the United States Army. BG Tibbets may be patriotic, but his comments here are simply disgraceful and reminiscent of Hitler's and Tojo's "high" ethical standards whom we fought a war against to defeat. In retrospect it seems that it was very fitting that they picked Alec "I'll leave the country if Bush is elected" "Let's kill Henry Hyde's family" Baldwin to play him in the movie Pearl Harbor.
