IamA Doolittle Raider, Lt. Col. Dick Cole. I was Jimmy Doolittle's co-pilot in WWII when we bombed Japan for retribution for Pearl Harbor.

I never get in on any of these this early. Only 17 comments so far.

[–]I_HATE_THE_MILITARY*-44 points*4 hours*agoYou feel honor in killing people? As I've said before, you are a murderer, simple as thatpermalinkparent[–]Quackvin*4 points*3 hours*agoThe world wars were not the same as the conflicts we see today. There was a necessity for WWII, even if it was avoidable. Back then in WWII, there was a lot on the line.permalinkparent[–]Pixeleyes*-1 points*1 hour*agoNever think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime.--Ernest Hemingwaypermalinkparent[–]Quackvin*3 points*1 hour*agoYou know, that's a good point. Lives shouldn't have been taken. Bombs shouldn't have been dropped. However, war is inevitable. Conflict has always existed and it always will. I hate war. I hate the concept that the more people you kill the better nation you are. On the other hand, I don't think that everyone should be so hard on this veteran who took time out of his day to do an AMA.permalinkparent[–]Pixeleyes*1 point*1 hour*agoI don't mean to defend the rude fella. I think there's more to the discussion than "let's not talk about uncomfortable things" and "let's be crass and rude".permalinkparent[–]Quackvin*1 point*48 minutes*agoI didn't mean to sound accusing or anything!permalinkparent[–]IRLpuddles*2 points*4 hours*agoyou have the freedom to say that, because people like him defended your right to free speech. I doubt whether you have done the same in your short life.stand back for a moment and reflect on that point.permalinkparent[+]I_HATE_THE_MILITARY*comment score below threshold *(15 children)
