Daddario. And to me, it’s not all that close.
He pretty clearly didn’t want to do anything but was getting so much heat, he offered this as a compromise.

All these people arguing in favor of racial discrimination.

The more people get special treatment, the more being treated equally feels like discrimination.

Yeah, I’m no fan of his either, but this one hardly seems “obsession”-worthy.

I don’t know. Who can tell these days?

Flyboys is great. The story of Chichi Jima.

American history could’ve been altered drastically had the Japanese patrol boats reached one of those pilots before an American sub did.

See “The Pacific” episode on Peleliu.

In the first days of the fighting, the temps were brutal, often upwards of 100 F. The Japanese had tainted every supply of freshwater on the island, and a shipboard SNAFU had caused the Marines water supply to be stored in oil barrels that hadn’t been cleaned, rendering the water undrinkable. It was literally Hell on Earth for those Marines.

I had a distant cousin (my Dad knew him) who was wounded in the hills of Peleliu.

Like Huertgen Forest in the ETO, it was largely an unnecessary operation (supposedly in support of Big Mac’s vanity project of returning to the Philippines). The only reason to really take it was to deny the Japanese use of the airfield. Otherwise it could’ve been bypassed.

Prices have no effect on dine-and-dashers and those intent upon making a scene to get out of paying.

They go in with a plan. Up front payment would thwart that plan.
