Pretend you’re Jimmy Doolittle with this B-25 model, raining down righteous ordnance of justice

The Doolittle Raid, just four months after Pearl Harbor, hit only industrial and military targets and in any case did little damage, as the planes carried only a small bombload. It boosted American morale at a dark time early in WWII and was a dangerous mission to those who flew it, due to the difficulties involved, and many of the American airmen on the raid never made it home. Jimmy Doolittle, a fine man and one of America’s greatest aviators, won a Medal of Honor for this feat of arms. I fail to see how this qualifies as a racist war crime as seems to be implied. I was one of those kids who in 1968 built the same Revell model kit of the B-25 mentioned in the ad, and far from turning me into a bloodthirsty warmonger, simply gave me a lifelong appreciation for history. Building a few model kits therefore might be a more useful exercise than blogging.
