The Obama Narrative Goes to Midway

PJMedia: THE ROSETT REPORT Before we get to this latest frolic in the Obama Narrative, let's take a moment to remember the Battle of Midway, fought from June 4-7, 1942. It was a huge World War II naval victory over Japan that tipped the advantage decisively toward America in the Pacific. World War II naval historian Samuel Eliot Morison, in his book "The Two Ocean War," described Midway as "a victory not only of courage, determination and excellent bombing technique, but of intelligence, bravely and wisely applied." That victory came at a terrible cost. Morison describes the bravery of American dive-bomber pilots, the initial squadrons massacred by anti-aircraft fire before the rest succeeded in destroying four Japanese carriers. Morison reminds us of "the threescore young aviators who met flaming death that day in reversing the verdict of battle" and urges, "Think of them, reader, every Fourth of June. They and their comrades who survived changed the whole course of the Pacific War."
