As far as you guys switching sides goes, my position is that you all should fly both sides.

I agree to a point. If they have an agreement with their veterans association that they not fly Axis ever at the association's request, then I have zero gripes about it. My hope is that the entire situation is clear (without becoming a pain in the ass to the association) and they have a waiver to fly bad guys on a rare occasion in theaters where the 4th was not historically present. If the association still says no then for me the discussion is over.
I also think that because of the politics, I can see why some individuals would not want to fly Axis. I felt the same at first and would hate to do it if we were ever out of our historical rides in an ETO theater. However, ever since we embraced flying as part of the Axis rotation, and by flying our S3 rides in the Main Arena, it has gone a long ways towards our recent success IMO.
