It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.

Making jokes in a thread named "A true ace and hero" and telling me I don't have a clue... Ok. Yeah, have a nice weekend... even if it's already Monday in most parts of the world.

First of all, <S> to the pilot. Wiki'ied him and found some great information.

And second, is it that big of a deal to call someone out over a joke? Where they probably didn't mean any disrespect to the pilot?

No one knows what the future may bring.

No it's not really a big deal. Just gets tiresome.

blah blah and whaaaaa............ people including myself enjoyed some light humor

no disrespect was intended with the jokes...... Im sure he was a great pilot

btw....... he didnt fly for France....... they rejected him....... imagine that (he learned to fly in the US and flew for the RAF)

and also his kills on the side of his plane were not accurate by ANY account

You know, it's one thing to smack talk someone in the game because you don't approve of what they fly, but to apply the same standards to anyone who contributed to most of Europe not speaking German today is appalling and shows just how far we, as a society, have slipped.
