    Yeah he flew those missions blowing up random people who he’d never met, I don’t care if he lost his “valor” due to racism

    Does he have to stand in front of the houses he blew up for you to get what this is?

      It’s a completely valid point to criticize the idolization of people who fight in unjust wars particualry ones with such brutal (ie crimes agaist humanity) tactics. However, the salient point here is that they’re still idolizing people as long as they’re white. This person is being hidden because of his skin color. That seems to be the issue you’re not understanding.

      Also for nothing but your link below suggests that he was a fighter pilot, not a bomber.

        I learned from experience not to trust anyone in an imperial uniform, regardless of creed or color. Daniel James Jr. served white supremacy. He murdered people based on skin color and flag. It is pretty hype he lived to see the empire betray him, because he betrayed humanity.
