FLYING

Welcome to Walt’s web hangar

For all who love flying, aviation history
and good books, this is the place to land.

You are, each and everyone of you, I'm sure, caught up in the great election contest that will drone on for another eight months or so, and you have undoubtedly begun to select your candidate. I wouldn't presume to tell you how to vote, but I hope that we all can focus on some fundamental facts in making that all-important decision.

The great thing about a web-site, or a blog, is that it is forgivable, even expected, to give your own opinions, without regard to anyone else's views or sensitivities. So let's take a look at the first fundamental fact.

(1) IT IS NOT THE ECONOMY, STUPID (to paraphrase the mantra coined for Bill Clinton by his campaign managers), IT'S THE WAR DECLARED AGAINST US. 

Unless America stops going to the Mall and starts going to war, we are going to lose everything to the threat posed by Muslim radical fundamentalists. (If you call them Islamofascists, people object.) Here is a situation in which a small group of people operate under the passive protection of 1.5 billion others of their faith. The small group of people have declared war on us, have called for all of us to be killed, have killed thousands, and we refuse to deal with them except on their terms. The reason: we have become so brainwashed by political correctness we are unwilling to fight wars in which we might kill "innocent" people by "collateral damage." 

During World War II, a small group of fanatics-the hard core Nazis-were the exact counterpart of today's radical Muslims, while the German people were the exact counterpart of the world's passive Muslim element. In a similar way, a handful of fanatics-the militaristic Japanese officer clique-were the counterpart of today's radical Muslims, and the poor, impoverished Japanese people were the counterpart of the passive Muslim population. However, to defeat the small group of fanatics ruling Germany and Japan, we had to wage war against their populations. And we did, without mercy, defeating them totally-and then spending billions to revive their countries and install real democracies. 

And before advocating the obvious, I want to point out that NEVER during World War II, did Germany or Japan represent any threat whatsoever to the territory of the United States or to its people. In direct contrast, the radical Muslim fundamentalist movement PROMISES to, and will sooner or later be capable of, inflicting mass casualties on our population, and doing irreparable harm to our economy. 

If we do not stop the radical Muslim fundamentalist movement by using every weapon in our inventory, without regard to collateral damage or to the possibility of killing members of the passive Muslim population, you will see the United States cease to exist as democracy. Our economy will be destroyed, Shaira law will be installed and our women will face the same humiliating subjugation that Muslim women currently endure. 

And now here is the second fundamental fact:

(2) If we do not take the necessary actions to win this war, including electing people to the presidency and to the Congress who will make the right decision---WE DESERVE TO HAVE THE MUSLIM RADICAL FUNDAMENTALISTS WIN. 

So think carefully when you vote. Don't worry about the economy, about immigration or about anything else. Care only about WINNING THE WAR DECLARED AGAINST US. Nothing else will matter in the very short run unless we win this war. And we can! 

Next time we'll talk about airplanes, starting with the decision to outsource the production of American tanker aircraft.
