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. [Video]
The Doolittle Raid, commanded by Air Force hero Lieutenant Colonel James Doolittle, took off on April 18, 1942,

They were and ARE HEROES. But the cowardly, hateful, nasty Marxists couldn't even imagine one genuine hero, let alone 80 of them.
Garbage, rotten, anti-American cowards.

What the leftist idiots don't realize is that by restricting everything we do or say, defining just about everything as some kind of hate crime, and rewriting history they are REALLY moving us step-by-step into a genderless, colorless culturaless, borderless OneWorld where our daily actions are A-I generated and we all equal worldwide "units" working feverishly together to save our Planet.
They can't see past what they consider their social justice "victories" and winning is all that matters to them.

Can we just stop paying attention to leftists? They behave like spoiled brats who were never told no. And at their age, it's dangerous for all of us.

Wonder if they have a problem with the New England Patriots? Doolittle and his men were on a mission to boost America's morale. They deserve every honor and our respect.

The Doolittle raid didn't just boost morale, it totally changed the course of the war. Because of the raid the Japanese decided they had to sink the US aircraft carriers and started planning the Midway attack that took place a month or so later. Everyone knows about Midway right?

When the Civil War kicked off, there were a lot of political generals in charge. The war eventually weeded them out and the war was won by the "hard fragment" left. The next war will face the same issue, but before that happens a lot of good men will die, just like back then.

Even if they understood, leftists would not care that up until the Doolittle Raid, the U.S. had suffered numerous military defeats and were being pushed around the Pacific Ocean by the Japanese forces. Australia was in danger of being cut off and only the Marines and Army troops on Guadalcanal were holding on and inflicting damage to the Japanese military. The Doolittle Raid caused a very low number of civilian casualties, estimated at less than 100, especially compared to the Japanese reprisals against Chinese civilians for helping the downed American raiders or failing to turn them over to the Japanese. The Japanese killed an estimated 250,000 Chinese after the raid.

16 B-25s took off from USS Hornet about 700 miles away from the Japanese coast. The plan was to launch about 300 miles out, to give the aircraft enough fuel to make it deep into [then-friendly] China. Unfortunately, on the morning of 18 April 1942, a Japanese Navy picket ship spotted the Hornet, and then the decision was made to launch then and there. 5 men per aircraft = 80 total aircrew facing a daunting mission. As noted, the Japanese slaughtered many thousands of Chinese who had no connection to the raid, or sheltering the survivors.

Twice, I had the honor to hear Doolittle's copilot, Richard Cole, and several others of the crews speak in their later years. Cole was eventually, the final survivor of these 80 brave airmen, heroes all.
It was an honor to see and hear what they had to tell us.
Lowlife, ignorant, hateful leftist scum aren't worth even acknowledging.
