the doolittle raid was turned into a famous movie. there have been a number of books but here we have "30 seconds over tokyo" with playing the role of jimmy doolittle. they claimed john birch single-handedly rescued doolittle and miss men. doolittle never would have made the claim but this is one of the ways in which birch's name was misused and was inflated. as i mentioned birch went to chun king. he was introduced to the army. he quickly made the transes significance -- transition. in his mind there was no contradiction between his former life as an evangelist and joining the army. no need to reject or deny his past. he had substituted one all-consuming passion for another, a battle against a different form of evil, a tyranny that happened to be temporal, instead of spirit all. he quite naturally expected to be a chaplain, which would afford the double opportunity to serve god and country as he put it. little did he imagine that he was about to assume a entirely new identity, not as a preacher but an intelligence officer. general cl
