The 'right wing garbage' comment was based on the OP's comments about Political Correctness in our school, that's all; it seems that the OP is making the point that many 'more worthy/impressive' fighter pilots who SHOULD be on the list are not, removed & replaced by more 'culturally diverse' icons--Archer, a Black Man; Litvak, a Woman, while ignoring guys like "Adolf Galland, Hans Joachim Marseille, Werner Mölders, Johnnie Johnson, Robert Johnson, etc." OF course I also noted his point that he's trying to make the MC was apparently 'ignoring' German Technology (his comments on the Panther) & personalities (Marshall Blucher at Waterloo);
Take it from me, MANY rightwingers/conservatives(Myself included-mostly) feel that political correctness is an ongoing political effort to 'devalue' & demonize the historical achievements of white males...but since I DON'T get Military Channel I can't comment on too much here;
