See the color of his skin, don’t ignore it. It is part of who he is, no need for colorwashing. It didn’t work out that well for George Orr in The Lathe of Heaven.
We need – must – support those who fought to keep safe the freedoms we hold dear. I hardly think WW II was senseless. We were fighting two madmen – Hitler and Hirohito – and I shudder to think what our lives would be if we had lost.
Baleyman42 – are you from this planet? Wars are part of living here, unfortunately. Wars will NE VER stop because humans are not capable of agreeing with each other. Just look at the division in our own country, the hatred from both sides of the ailse, from one color of skin to the next. We can prevent stupid wars like Iraq and Afghanistan, but then stupid people will find an escuse to start them. Not having a military is NOT an option. Even switzerland, a neutral country, has a military.
I purchased a 1990 Mercedes 190e from a gentleman in Detroit who was a member of the Tuskegee Airman. I never met him personally, but saw his picture in the Detroit Free Press in a feature in conjunction the movie Red Tails came out. Every now and then I’ll be driving along in this great old car and remember I have my hands in the same place of a man that flew P=51s over Germany. His unit never lost an American bomber to enemy fire. Thanks for your service Mr. J.
There is a way to avoid war, simply surrender when threatened. Of course, living like a slave is not too much fun, but think of no more war. I hope that your owner is a humanitarian, because slaves throughout history were not a very happy lot.
@baleyeman42 Please remember That the United States of America was founded on war due to the taxes the King of England levied on the goods being brought to America. War sucks but I respect the people in times of peace or war have fought for the United States to remain safe.

IF a dead soldier from WWII could come back for one hour today, how would we survivors explain the BMWs, Benzes and Toyota’s? “It’s the American way?”

Who started those wars? We didn’t bomb Pearl Harbor, Hitler declared war on us. Please tell me where you learned your history.

“Salute the men and women in uniform”? I don’t think so, that kind of thinking only promotes further war and conflict.
You sir, had DAMN WELL BETTER SALUTE MY DEAR DECEASED MOTHER! Lt. in the Army Nurse Corps in WW2! You have NO CLUE, do you?
