There was a deacon at a church where I attended back in the 90s who was a bomber pilot during WW2. He said that prior to the war, the Air Corps required pilot trainees to have a college degree, and since that left him out, he went to Canada, joined the RCAF, and began flight training with them...

At that time, they were all mercenaries although Chennault had convinced the U.S. government to release some interested active duty pilots so they could join up with the AVG.

It was really too bad that the two generals (Stilwell an Chennault) couldn't find some common ground. They were both admirable and very competent. I have a feeling that Chennault's contemporaries may have thought that he didn't deserve to be a general because Chennault was medically discharged...

The air battles in World War 2 are fascinating to hear about. My dad enlisted in the Navy toward the end of the war and serviced F-6Fs, which was America's answer to the Zero, although it came along late in the war. General Chennault is someone that I heard about all my life because his mom and...

Do you take food stamps?

In a couple of days, my wife and I will be out of quarantine. We have both tested positive for covid, and right now we are chomping at the bit to get out and get moving again. A head cold which lasted a couple of days is the only thing that bothered me. Marie, on the other hand, had a more...

The American Volunteer Group (AVG), which Chennault headed up in China was shooting down Japanese airplanes before the U.S. declared war. The AVG pilots were told not to dog fight the Zeros because they could easily out maneuver the P-40s which the AVG flew. They could attack the Zero by diving...

Does this mean I am not welcomed at your table?

Which table is it where tou can eat for free? That be the one for me.

There is nothing to be gained by faking COVID. Now, if he were claiming to have AIDS, the LGBTQs and other like reprobates might want to throw support in his direction, but then he would lose lots of church support.

I prefer sleazy Trump over sleazy Biden. The Trump brand of sleaze works good for the nation.

The KKK is a factor in today's environment as much as Attila The Hun is. They are footnotes in history.

Don't hold back, Mr. Reynolds. Tell us what you really think.

It seems like we spend a lot of time and effort pandering to fools. It might be a good idea to have Military Chaplains funded by their own denominations, like missionaries. It would seem then that they would be at liberty to preach more freely without concern for political correctness. Psalm 14...

Mr. Lewis didn't see fit to attend Mr. Trump's inauguration and Mr. Trump didn't see any need in going to Mr. Lewis' funeral. Fair enough. John Lewis’s Record in Congress Is Less Than Heroic.

President Trump has been bullied by democrats for over three years now. Trump bashing has become chic and acceptable in Washington, late night t.v., and M.S.M. If Trump offered a grain of niceness to a national democrat leader, it would be more than he or she is entitled to. No one should be...

I once read that General Chennault and an entourage from China met with a congressional committee, seeking aid for China, before Pearl Harbor. He showed them a manual that he had compiled on the Jap Zero, and when the so-called experts looked at it, they thought it was trash. They said that it...

Thank you for your prayers, Wingman. My wife does have the COVID symptoms. She had a chest x-ray then nasal swab, and both revealed evidence of COVID. I was advised to get tested because my wife was positive. My only symptoms are hay fever type allergy symptoms, but according to the rapid test...

I like it for the nostalgia. I can actually remember seeing it in black and white from back in the 50s, when I was 4 or 5 years old. The thing I remember most from back then was seeing Lawrence Welk get down on the accordian. In the 60s, every Saturday night, my parents were tuned in. You never...

Thank you. Prayer is better than anything.
