Truly embarassing...

Ok, I am currently stationed at the Naval War College in Newport, RI and they are gearing up for the annual commemoration of the Battle of Midway. So, they are setting up a bunch of displays around the college with WWII photos and other memorabilia....etc.

Now for the pathetic part: in addition to a couple of old photos of warbirds, they have a bunch of close-up screenshots of planes from Microsoft's Combat Flightsim 2. Apparently instead of trying to come up with some nice photos of WWII Navy planes they took pictures from a computer game and blew them up to about 3' x 4' and mounted them on foam board and mixed them up with the real photos. I mean WTF???? They couldn't find some decent real shots????

Do they do this kind of lame crap at Maxwell????

HAHAHA! LOL that is pretty sad.

No in the Air Force, they would have taken hundreds of thousands of dollars that could have been better spent on infrastructure, medical, and pay, and hired every flying vintage warbird and recreated the battle of Midway for the 3-star generals.

Either that, or they would ignore it. Heritage, history, and a warfighting spirit seem to be taking a back seat to sensitivity these days.
