  1. That's actually quite incorrect. LeMay was an asshole to be sure, but he did know how to run a strategic bombing campaign. His campaign against the Japanese Empire was brutal, a war crime, but effective. And his work building SAC into a credible and terrifying nuclear deterrent force was solid. So he was good for something, but in my opinion he was also too dangerous to be left in command. During the Eisenhower administration he illegally sent US bombers onto recon/mock bombing runs inside Soviet territory against the president's orders, and for that alone he deserved to be run up the fucking flag pole. His blatant insubordination is intolerable in a man charged with a nuclear arsenal, and his disrespect towards those brave Navy pilots marks him as a first class piece of shit.

  2. 2:07 I don't think Marshal Zakharov has enough medals on his uniform. Better give him, oh, about 25 more ought to do it.

  3. 10:18 "US Air Force" I'm pretty sure those were Navy pilots, wearing Navy uniforms in those photos and flying RF-8 Crusaders, which the Navy had but the USAF, to my knowledge, did not.
