Hey we're gonna fly you guys off a carrier which may or may not work, to conduct a raid which is more feel good then of any military significants...oh and yeah your gonna have to crash in China or Siberia. These guys were all hero's. Nobody asked them to tone down the rhetoric about the Japs....can we even say Japs.
