U.S. Air Force officials pull MLK Day ‘Fun Shoot’ flyer
Military officials have pulled a provocative flyer featuring Martin Luther King Jr. atop a “fun shoot” at an Air Force Base in Georgia to be held on the holiday honoring civil rights icon.
The flyer advertised a noon gathering on Jan. 18 for the Robins Air Force Base Trap and Skeet Club. An official at the military base’s Outdoor Recreation office said it was created by a marketing team.
“We didn’t make the flyer,” said Leroy Minus, the official. “We squared it away. We got rid of the picture.”
The base, in a statement, called it an “honest mistake.”
Here’s the full statement:
We’re deeply sorry for any offense or harm caused by our insensitivity and failure to provide appropriate oversight of our marketing process. The flyer does not represent the values, opinions or views of the Department of Defense, the Air Force or Robins Air Force Base leadership and its employees.
We realized the inappropriateness of the advertisement several days ago and immediately began removing the flyer. There was no malice of forethought in the flyer’s creation and it was never the base’s intention to portray Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., in a negative light. It was an honest mistake, to which we’ve personally counseled the parties involved and will provide them with remedial training and appropriate oversight to prevent this sort of inattention from occurring in the future.
Again, we offer our heartfelt apology to those affected by our thoughtlessness. We hold the legacy of Dr. King in the highest regard.

Yes, only white men should be experienced in military expertise. Let them become proficient trained killers while we just sit and watch. What's the worse that can happen

We need to establish more martial arts, self defense, and combat training programs. But that training is not exclusive to any one country's military.

Why not learn from the greatest conquerors in the world. It's simple, its the same thing these white militias do. Have their people train for free, the military pays YOU to train, then they bring that knowledge back. -

There's also a hidden inner nostril in our nose specifically to suck up the white man's air
