That's a little borderline...
Even though it's sort of phunny that the NAACP president is called Mr. White.[8D]

As they say in showbiz..."satire always closes on Saturday" [;)]
As it happens, Mr. White is historical. He may not have ever authorized the construction of a recreation center by M & M Enterprises, but the desegregation of the armed services was a major goal of the NAACP in the war years. A goal which FDR and Marshall at least publicly endorsed. It just proved a bit more difficult than what one might imagine.

A very large disturbance in "The Force" has been felt in the Southern Java Sea. More to come.

Historical detour
Posted: Sun Mar 19, 2006 5:26 pm
Fear and Loathing has deviated significantly from the historical outcome by July '42.
Here is a summary of 5th AAF activity for June 42
Differences:
1) We have lost PM, for now [:)], so Rabaul is getting a free ride for now.

Gathering storm at Soerabaja
Posted: Tue Mar 21, 2006 6:27 pm
Despite disruption of the landings by the RN and and Beauforts from Madioen, the Japanese 45th Div of the "South Java Assault Force" prepares to attack the newly arrived 5th Indian Div. with attached KNIL troops south of Soerabaja. When this battle is fought, we'll plug them back into WITP.
