Remember that the war is over. Let's try to act like it as well.

Just my two cents.
Good sentiments - what triggered my response was an unfounded, undocumented reference to an 'instruction' from FDR to Doolittle. Doolittle is not alive to rebut Oberst and Oberst is not forthcoming with his documentation for such character assasination.
