PO1 William "Chip" Nagel - It is terrible that our people are destroying our history, piece by piece, toothpick by toothpick! It saddens me and it should sadden anyone who loves our Country!

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel - History is the past based on circumstances during a given time period... I don't deny questioning, but when anyone want so eliminate history, they are deleting something that was important in its day... Do we cast off Plato, Julius Caesar, Napoleon, and others because of their beliefs during their time? I think not...

Sgt (Join to see) - But that is the point with this kind of stuff. They forget things were different. The destroyers of history fail to recognize they are holding people from many years ago, to the standard of today.

The funny thing about history...you can't change it.
SJW - What kind of person scours the recording history of a woman dead for over thirty years to complain about a song recording nearly 100 years old? Is that person a normal, sane and representative example of modern American life or is that person a pathetic loser obsessed with being a victim?
According to her New York Times obituary: “No single show-business figure even approached her as a seller of War Bonds during World War II. In one 18-hour stint on the CBS radio network, Miss Smith sold $107 million worth of war bonds, which were issued by the United States Government to finance the war effort. Her total for a series of marathon broadcasts was over $600 million.”
Put in a modern day context that $600 million Smith raised to fight Hitler in World War II would equate to nearly $11 billion dollars in today’s money. $11 billion! To help the war effort fight, you know, real Nazi's!
The absolute worst thing you can do is encourage these whiners. This is not bringing us together, it is driving us apart and it is disgraceful. Questioning history is one thing, destroying it quite another.
