    My father a W2 pilot who stayed in and was still a P-51/A-51 pilot when the balloon went up. He actually flew air suppression cover on this mission. He brought his aircraft home bent and with a bunch of holes in her, he said that he only kept it in the air because he would rather die than piss off the Crew chief. Dad always said he was half magician and half monster and that was what kept his aircraft in the sky because even it was scared of letting him down or damaging his aircraft.

      Pretty cool. My Uncle was a WWII P51 fighter pilot who stayed in and flew P51’s in Korea. He retired as a Colonel (Colonel Kenneth Young) and went on to be the Vice President of Dillard Paper in South Carolina. He passed away in the late 90’s. Almost all of these badass WWII veterans have left us now. We can only remember their bravery and honor their service.

    I have the cruise book from the USS Philippine Sea during that raid. My dad and 2 uncles were on her during that time (my 2 uncles were introduced to my aunts by my dad, thier brother.) Never think much about it since both my dad and I are just pieces in 250 years of family military service. But I have heard the stories a dozen times growing up. Especially when the 3 of them would get together and pull the male kids aside to tell them what they did and what was expected. And it was never I did this. It was "you know what your uncle did?"

He was starved while in captivity and his health was broken. He was nominated for the Medal of Honor early in his captivity, in 1942. But his nominated was rejected due to the vocal and strident opposition of General MacArthur, who felt that Corregidor should not have been surrendered.

    You forget, the Iranians after operation praying mantis shot missiles that they had so far denied having, firing on American ships. Reagan, at the time, convinced the Iranians to label the attack as an accident and was officially swept under the rug.

    So . . . was the attack even intended to breach the dams?
    Because, if it was, they failed to learn the lessons from the raid in May 1943 on the dams in western Germany.

      Sorry but you don’t get into a shooting war and then not decimate the enemies will to fight.
      You destroy their power, water, industry, transportation (particularly bridges), and then you leave them to worry about fighting back from the Stone Age you sent them to.
      Unlike rebuilding like the idiots in charge of this country tend to do.
      Japan post WWII & not destroying Saddam’s retreating forces in Desert Storm for just two instances of idiocy by political idiots making decisions.

      The U.S. hasn't won a war since 1945. The Taliban kicked our butts out of Afghanistan using simple, relatively primitive weapons. Our military can't win against a modern military force on the battlefield. We're equipped and trained to fight against a guerrilla force and counterinsurgency.

There's no difference. The only difference Man Had more balls back then. We just let everybody catch up. That was part of the plan. These globalists don't want peace.

    It’s not “communism vs capitalism”. Capitalism is a socialist term. The paradigm is communism vs freedom. The communists themselves acknowledged that.
