I want to give you guys some facts about General Chappie James. He wasnโt a โDEIโ hireโhe was a complete badass that had to overcome MORE than any white pilot. Did 178 combat missionsโthatโs like 7 bomber tours on a B-17 in WWII.
His medal count? Impeccable. 3 Distinguished Flying Crosses, 14 Air Medals, Two Legions of Merit, and a Defense Distinguished Service Medal. One of the original Tuskegee Airmen, the first four-star African American General.
Hegseth couldnโt sniff the level of soldiering and warrior that was in Chappieโs DNA. God bless him. And Hegseth took down his picture from a hallway like a racist little child, which is what he is.
