Home After 2. 6 Days in Iraqi Hands, Pilot Russell Sanborn Celebrates His Freedom- and Counts His Blessings. Sunday had dawned warm and breezy in New Bern, N. C. Houses were quiet and streets nearly empty. But inside the Tabernacle Baptist Church, the pews were filled and the air rang with song. Six hundred people had gathered to celebrate a deliverance: Capt. Russell Sanborn, 2. Marine Harrier pilot who was captured, beaten and imprisoned for nearly a month by Iraqi soldiers, had finally come home. ![]() Hale and fresh- faced, he stood near the altar with his wife, Linda, 2. Victory in Jesus.” After the ceremony—as men shook his hand, children clung to his sleeves and grandmothers kissed his cheeks—Russell’s dark memories were already fading. Marine veteran, who was sent to the gulf last December, made his 1. He was in a single- scat Harrier jet over southern Kuwait, dive- bombing Iraqi bunkers and artillery. The run was successful, but as he pulled away there was a loud bang; he had been hit by an Iraqi surface- to- air missile. ![]() Read the latest stories about Tech on Fortune.

Then I’m hanging in a parachute, just me alone, floating down. It was terrifying. I’d just dropped bombs on these people.”Within 1. Russell was surrounded by 1. Iraqi soldiers who stripped him of his pistol and took him to a nearby bunker. ![]() Televisa is the largest mass media company in Latin America, and it is owned by the Azcárraga family. Televisa controls. Gmail is email that's intuitive, efficient, and useful. 15 GB of storage, less spam, and mobile access. The man who had downed his jet came in to introduce himself. The flier was later driven to what he now believes was Kuwait City, where Iraqi interrogators, trying to extract information on U. S. After 2. 4 hours the beatings stopped, and Russell was transferred to a dank 1. Baghdad prison, where four other Americans and three Britons were also held captive. Though they were fed only meager rations of watery gruel and stale bread and were prohibited from talking to each other, the POWs were not physically abused. ![]() One of the worst things was the nightly, incessant allied raids that showered bombs around the prison. After his group commander and a chaplain from the U. S. Marine base at Cherry Point, N. C., informed heron Feb. Russell was missing in action, she was in a panic. Her close friend Vicki Nerad virtually moved in with her and on that first night slept beside Linda, who cried in her sleep. Linda stopped going to her job as a customer- service representative for a local tool manufacturer. And it fell to her to break the distressing news to her and Russell’s parents in Deland, Fla., where the couple had begun their courtship at Deland High School 1. After a week her life resumed its normal routine, but hardly a moment passed without worry. There were lots of times he lived on the edge and made it.”Fortunately, his luck was still holding. Iraqi guard told the prisoners the war was over; that night the bombing finally stopped. Five days later, after Russell was shaved and permitted to wash his flight uniform and exercise for the first time, he and the other POWs were put on a bus, where a woman informed them they were in the hands of the International Red Cross. But it wasn’t until the next morning, when they boarded a plane to Bahrain, that the POWs dared to believe they were truly free. Russell spent five days at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, where he received a clean bill of health. Given 3. 0 days to recuperate before returning to duty, he is reveling in life’s simple pleasures—savoring Linda’s home- cooked Brunswick stew, walking their mutt, Fergie, and tabby cat. I lobo, and watching sunsets from the porch swing of the wood- frame home that he and Linda built two years ago. These days, neither can help but see a future bright and shining. How to Tell If You're a Neo- Nazi. Internet personalities Baked Alaska and Millennial Matt had a lot of fun at this past weekend’s white supremacist rallies. Well, until Baked Alaska was maced, I guess. They used tools like Twitter and You. Tube to bring their online followers into the heart of the racist action. But curiously, the two still insist that they’re not neo- Nazis. So what the hell is a neo- Nazi? The rallies in Charlottesville, Virginia were the largest collection of white supremacists in the United States in at least two decades. It left one woman, 3. Heather Heyer, dead and dozens more injured. So it’s curious to see both Baked Alaska (real name Tim Gionet) and Millennial Matt (real name Matthew Colligan) insist that they’re not neo- Nazis and that they’ve never advocated violence. I’m starting to think that maybe they don’t know what words mean. If you’re in the same boat, and don’t know if you’re a neo- Nazi, I’ve made a helpful guide to determine if you are. To be clear, the “neo” in neo- Nazi is simply meant to differentiate between Nazis who were around in the 1. Nazi beliefs today but weren’t alive during Hitler’s time. Sadly, there are still old school Nazis around, like 9. Michael Karkoc who massacred women and children and currently lives in Minnesota. If you answer “yes” to any of the questions below, you’re a neo- Nazi. Do you regularly tweet the 1. Words? The so- called 1. Words were coined by the late white supremacist David Lane and became a slogan for neo- Nazis around the world. The 1. 4 Words read, “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.” It’s not exactly subtle as far as Nazi slogans go. In 1. 98. 4, David Lane helped plot to kill Alan Berg, a Jewish radio talk show host, and acted as the getaway driver when he and his fellow neo- Nazi scum shot and killed Berg in his driveway. Lane was sentenced to 1. Baked Alaska loves to tweet the 1. Words. He sends it to President Trump and he makes videos of it. Lots of videos of it. Yesterday, Baked Alaska tweeted his defense of the 1. Words, saying that there’s “nothing wrong” with the slogan and that “just because others have used them doesn’t change the meaning.” It’s unclear if he understands the origin of the phrase, but he certainly understands that it means “white advocacy.”But even if he has no idea that it was coined by a murderous white supremacist thug, it’s still a poisonous idea that has no place in society. If you tweet the 1. Words you’re a neo- Nazi. Do you say “Hitler did nothing wrong”? Some people insist that Baked Alaska and Millennial Matt can’t be neo- Nazis because they’re simply saying outrageous things to get a rise out of people. One of those things is that “Hitler did nothing wrong.” But at some point you’re no longer “trolling” and you’re simply stating what you believe. Millennial Matt has said “Hitler did nothing wrong” so many times that it’s become his catchphrase. He says it on radio, in tweets, and in videos. But what the hell does such a phrase mean? Adolf Hitler systematically killed millions of Jews in concentration camps during the Holocaust. Saying he did nothing wrong is an endorsement of those deaths. Amazingly, Millennial Matt says that he’s never advocated for violence against anyone. In a weepy You. Tube post he whined that people were now threatening his life after he attended the rallies in Virginia. That’s explicitly what Hitler did. It’s kind of what he’s known for. When you say Hitler did nothing wrong, and you say it so many times that people start to riff on it with jokes about other people who “did nothing wrong” you’re advocating for violence. That’s kind of how this works. If you say Hitler did nothing wrong, you’re a neo- Nazi. Have you attended a rally with people giving Hitler salutes? The salute goes by a lot of names: The Roman salute, the Hitler salute, and the Bellamy salute. But it only has one meaning since it was adopted by the Nazis in the 1. It means you’re a neo- Nazi. Baked Alaska documented his trip from his home in Los Angeles to Virginia on Twitter and You. Tube for all the world to see. And one of his most frightening videos came from Friday during the infamous tiki torchlight riot. Baked Alaska shot video as his fellow marchers viciously assaulted non- violent counter protesters. They can be seen in the video beating people with their torches. The counter protestors later described fearing for their lives. And when Baked Alaska pans around in the crowd, you can clearly see people giving Nazi salutes as they chant “white lives matter.” If you attend a rally with people giving Hitler salutes, you’re a neo- Nazi. Do you shout “hail victory” while carrying a torch in public? Did you see footage of people shouting “hail victory” at the rallies this weekend? It’s the English translation of “sieg heil,” the notorious Nazi slogan. Baked Alaska shot video of himself saying just that.“They thought we weren’t going to stand up,” Baked Alaska shouts into the camera. We’re proud to be white!”“We’re proud to be white, brother,” he continued while shaking hands with another white supremacist. Thank you, love you guys.”If you shout “hail victory” while carrying a torch in public, you’re a neo- Nazi. Do you deny that the Holocaust happened? Holocaust denial is pretty much textbook neo- Nazism. And Millennial Matt peddles in it constantly. At the 5. 2- minute mark during the livestream from Virginia, Millennial Matt encourages viewers to “look into revisionist history.” Revisionist history often hinges on the belief that historians are lying about the fact that Nazi Germany executed millions of people.“The history that they taught you in middle school is not factually accurate,” Millennial Matt tells his viewers. He goes so far as to compare Auschwitz, where an estimated 1. If you believe America’s treatment of Nazis was worse than the Holocaust you’re a neo- Nazi. Do you publish photos of Jewish people you disagree with in gas chambers? Baked Alaska also enjoys publishing photoshopped photos of Jewish people he doesn’t like in gas chambers. President Trump is often depicted as the one administering the gas, dressed in Nazi regalia. Baked Alaska was even temporarily banned for doing it, but insists he’d do it all over again. If you publish photos of Jewish people you disagree with in gas chambers you’re a neo- Nazi. Do you have a photo of Joseph Goebbels in your Twitter header? You’re never going to guess what WWII- figure Millennial Matt has in his Twitter header. Yes, that’s Joseph Goebbels, easily one of the most evil men in history and responsible for the deaths of millions of Jews. Oh, and former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan David Duke is also in there. It’s brutal to watch.“Me and about five of my friends were out protesting. We thought . Everyone was exchanging words with the group, but then the KKK and white supremacists just rushed us,” Harris told The Root. Harris is lucky to be alive. Judging by the video, it doesn’t appear like Baked Alaska or Millennial Matt were anywhere in sight and had nothing to do with the beating. But if you’re marching with these people, this is what you’re marching for. If you march with people who physically assault others because of their race you’re a neo- Nazi. Do you want to hear the good news? You don’t have to be a neo- Nazi forever. What you’ve done in the past doesn’t have to define your future if you’d like to live a happier life. Just stop doing all of the things above. You don’t even have to join a new organization or donate to a nonprofit. Just stop being filled with irrational hate for people that are slightly different than you. It’s really as simple as that. Members of the alt- right have tried to rebrand their particular flavor of hate as new and stylish. But it’s the same old Nazi shit. If you do the thing above you’re a neo- Nazi. If you stop doing the things above you can stop being a neo- Nazi. So give it a try! I promise it won’t hurt. In fact, it might give you time to pursue things that are more fun. Do you enjoy making memes? Try making anti- Nazi memes. Or you can forget about Nazism altogether. Watch a movie, or build a tree fort, or go jerk off. I promise that they’re all more fun than spreading the hatred of Nazism. Entertainment . FORTUNE may receive compensation for some links to products and services on this website.
