US Air Force Capitulates, Erases Tuskeegee Airmen And WASPs From Training Courses

"Fellow citizens, we cannot escape history. We of this Congress and this administration will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance, or insignificance, can spare one or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass will light us down in honor or dishonor to the latest generation...We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope on earth."

—Abraham Lincoln, December 1862

(UPDATE: The Air Force is now insisting that the course material has not been pulled, just "revised." We shudder to think what that means. We cats will keep an eye out for more on this. Meanwhile, we HISS.)
