Mr. Garrison was black, if any reporter was to question his credentials he/she would fear the uproar from the strong black community in the area. This is the culture we, in the US, live in. Especially since our current President was elected.
It could be that, but often, the respect of the elders comes into play. We had a guy down in Orange County here named Roland Sperry who claimed to be a Flying Tiger, shooting down Japanese Zeros, etc. He even had a book published that was allegedly non-fiction. A lot of people bought it, hook, line and sinker. These days, reporters are far too eager to file a story and don't ask questions. Sad.
Most of the real vets I have ever had the honour to talk with are most reluctant to talk about their real exploits, let alone make up ones for other people. And most airmen dont boast about "putting ten aircraft out of commission"
True or not, this guy was not walking the higher path by saying what he was saying.
MLK is rolling over in his grave. I'll not comment anymore for fear I may get political.
Could this go towards proving my point? Instead of objectively addressing the issue of reverse discrimination Njaco implies my comment is politically (perhaps racially?) motivated.
Correct Charles. I was actually commenting about my own post ad no reflection on anyone else. I just didn't want to go further into all the intracies of racism today. Just keeping my cool. Sorry Mike if I wasn't so clear.
