Oh wow, that is so neat that your dad was 82nd. A very dangerous job.

In WWII my dad flew in the also famous Burma Hump, flying over the Himalayas from India to China.
He was an 18 yr old tail gunner, it is a miracle he lived. He stayed in the Air Force and then went on to fly combat in Korea and Viet Nam.

Yes we can well imagine what our fathers would be saying right now.

We are now seeing much more clearly the fascist rot has spread wide and deep in the US government.
Not just police but the military as well. And almost all US institutions.

It is the fight of our lives. I truly do not know how it will turn out.
