there werent many lone wolf black on white attacks to speak of bacl 25 years ago..even 1o years ago
since OBIES come on the scene...its open season on white people in California cities
Not to mention the WAC’s flying unarmed planes all over the Earth during WWII. Those were some brave women.
Absolute, true to the meaning, real life American heroes.
Commander Neil Armstrong, RIP
“The Left is not only shameless, it is relentless (and merciless) as well.”
All leftist thought, from the limousine liberalism of a George Clooney to the murderous horrors of Mao, Stalin, and Pol Pot, is of and from Satan. Leftism is a contaminant in the human cognosphere, not a natural component of it.
Satan is smarter than we are, and he never sleeps. Those over whom he has the most influence are like maniacally evil energizer demons.
Every once in a while one of them escapes, like David Horowitz, but who knows how or why?

Anything *good* about Obama I would view with extreme skepticism.
“Not to mention the WACs flying unarmed planes all over the Earth during WWII.”
Until I read your post, I had never heard anything other than that they ferried planes within CONUS. May I ask what your source is?
And it may be for the best that the camera didnt surface until now

One would think that there would have been a lot of discussion/analysis on the performance, usability, reliability, etc. of the camera if for no other reason than to make improvements and/or leverage lessons learned and insights for future missions. I’ve supported other types of missions before (of the military variety) and there was great emphasis on post-event analysis. One of the main topics was always on what worked, what was “problematic”, and what could have been better. Equipment performance is central to this type of discussion.
I was under the impression that they were flying them overseas. I am not sure.
I had an aunt that was a WAC in WWII but she died before I was interested in asking questions about it.
The coolest thing he had was the actual camera that broadcast the lander’s descent. The funniest thing he kept was the “waste management” cover.
The WACs were the Womens Army Corps, originally the Womens Army Auxiliary Corps. They were service members, but I don't believe any were pilots.
There was an effort during WWII to bring the WASPS into the service, but it failed. In 1978 they were finally awarded veterans benefits. In 1984 they received the WWII Victory Medal. In 2009 they received the Congressional Gold Medal.
I am not aware the WASPs ferried any aircraft overseas, but 38 died in the line of duty. They did not receive military honors and sometimes had to pass the hat to pay for the funeral.
Thanks for the clarification.
You’re welcome.
