Would love to give a response, but words fail me.

Nice to see that the AB Trump supporters have piped down. Give them their due; when the facts change, they change their views. It restores one's faith in a bit of decency and common sense.

Hector Santa Anna, U.S. Air Force — This decorated World War II B-17 bomber pilot, Berlin Airlift pilot and career military leader had a memorable last name: Santa Anna happened to be the great-great nephew of Mexican general Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, who famously led the siege of the Alamo during the Texas Revolution of 1836. In July 1943, he completed his flight training at Brooks Army Air Field in San Antonio, Texas (ironically, near the Alamo). Among the 97 cadets in his class, Santa Anna was the only Latino. In a 2003 interview for the University of Texas at Austin’s Voces Oral History Project, he recalled, “It wasn’t easy being the only one. They would always single you out, you know? With a name like Santa Anna, you stood out. Some would accept you and others would not.” Following his graduation from flight school, the Army utilized Santa Anna’s bilingualism by assigning him to train Central and South American military pilots at Waco Army Air Field in Texas. He volunteered for combat duty in August 1944 and, in October, deployed to England with the 486th Bomb Group, 3rd Bomb Wing, of the 8th Air Force. Between November 1944 and March 1945, Santa Anna flew 35 combat missions over Western Europe, earning two Distinguished Service Medals, five Air Medals and a Commendation Medal. After the war, Santa Anna continued his military career in the nascent United States Air Force. During the Berlin Airlift of 1948-1949, he flew 127 missions in support of Allied efforts to provide humanitarian aid to Soviet-blockaded Berlin. His later Air Force career took him to the Pentagon, where he served as special assistant to the secretary of defense for public affairs. After retiring from the Air Force as a lieutenant colonel in June 1964, Santa Anna held leadership positions at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). During the administration of President Richard Nixon, he served as the Office of Equal Opportunity’s White House representative and a member of the president’s Cabinet Committee on Opportunities for Spanish-Speaking People.

I also read on the front of a newspaper this morning that Trumps best mate Musk has stopped supporting funding the rescue team that have been tracking down the 20k children that Russia kiddnaped from Ukraine. What a lovely pair Trump and Musk are, in fact just as bad as Putin, in many ways.

Jim Hensons creature shop has a lot to answer for, letting him escape from the reject bin.

[douglas9401]

Somebody will sort all of this out and it won't be pretty.

[nicebloke1]

Musk must have got his knickers in a twist due to his car company shares taking a hit.

[douglas9401]

Apparently he goes commando, saves time between X's, formerly known as tweets.

When you think it can't possibly get any worse....

I despair...

[sandyRoe]

The man who dodged the column in his day is now trying to obliterate the memory of those who were proud to serve their country.

There seems to be no depths to which he won't sink.

[Canary42]

The most chilling aspect is that millions of Americans will still vote for him (just like they did for that other criminal Tricky Dicky)

[1ozzy]

Be afraid, very afraid.

Trump and his minions have only one thing in mind.

[Clone]

And yet our Muslim brothers tell us what they have in mind, and you just ignore it.

That is the most disgusting act by a head of state that I have read about for a while 

[Clone]

Some ridiculous responses.

Are you even sure about what's offending you?

[newmodarmy]

I think Clone has shown it hasn't happened(yet?)

[Spungle]

Excellent.

The fact that people are black or women or whatever is NOT what defines them as members of the military.  This is real equality in action.  The sooner the DEI nonsense is binned the better.
