    Your Airmanship:
    You are so...so right, Chris! Look at the comments on this thread. The US Museum of Naval Aviation, P'cola has a ME 262 on display. They got it from Pax River. Pax River got it from Wright field. And they got it from fat Herman. Guess what it has ALWAYS had on its vertical stabilizer. Nobody has ever complained.

    This is getting offensive!

    But truthfully, the whole concept of "I'm offended because of something your grandfather or great grandmother did" has become ridiculous. Twisting words, blaming this person or that for not reacting the way you think they should or being as sensitive as you think they should, that's what is offensive. Yeah, horrible things happened, and they still happen, and that's too bad. But blaming others has gotten out of hand.

    You've got to be taught before it's too late
    Before you are six or seven or eight
    To hate all the people your relatives hate
    You've got to be carefully taught
