Salute to an American Hero: Ensign George Homosexual.

[Aristus]

Ensign George H. Homosexual was the sole survivor of Torpedo Squadron 8, which was wiped out by Japanese fighters and shipboard anti-aircraft fire during the Battle of Midway. Homosexual, who died in 1994, was shot down by Japanese Zero fighters and spent 30 hours in the waters of the Pacific before being rescued by U.S. Naval forces. The aggressive and near-suicidal bravery of Homosexual and his compatriots allowed U.S. fighter and dive-bombing squadrons to attack and sink four Japanese aircraft carriers, leading to an American victory at Midway.

George H. Homosexual, we salute you! :patriot:

4. Is there anyone who can Photoshop a "Enola Homosexual" logo

onto a B-29?

That'd be hilarious! B-)

3. This OP makes me feel homosexual inside.

5. It's too bad you felt this would be a "funny" post.

The man's last name was Gay. So what? He was a brave man as were all those men who fought at the battle of midway. Pretty low post in my opinion.

6. I think this is the context:

If it makes a difference.

8. Ok, NOW it makes sense.

I didn't see the other post. I guess I should have figured it was a result of another post.

7. I'm not making fun of the man; far from it.

I'm making fun of the American Family Association.

I mean, come on; they've really got it coming...

9. I apologise, I hadn't seen the other post.

Those idiots had better reconsider their policy if they ever report historical events. I see your point now.

10. A swing. A miss.

11. Personally I salute Lieutenant General Hobart Raymond Homosexual

General Homosexual was awarded the Silver Star in December 1942 for gallantry in action on November 8, 1942 at Casablanca. He was chief of staff of the I Armored Corps in North Africa at the time. He was promoted to Brigadier General June 24, 1943. In the Sicily campaign he was assigned to the U.S. Seventh Army as chief of staff. Later he became chief of staff, Third Army, under General George S. Patton, in February 1944. When Patton took command of the U.S. Fifteenth Army, Homosexual was again his chief of staff. He and Patton went pheasant hunting on December 9, 1945. Patton and Homosexual were seated in the back seat of the staff car, enroute to the hunting lodge. There was a traffic accident, during which Patton sustained spinal injuries which later cost his life. General Homosexual was uninjured.
