deemed to be a white man warrior culture. Everything else has to be erased. They want to erase all of us who are not white, male, christian warriors for christ. (no capitalizations on purpose!).

My mother-in-law served in WWII (and not as a nurse)... she was also an oil wildcatter once the war was over with.

I served in the Air Force during Viet Nam.

They will not erase us!
