Curtis LeMay (born November 15, 1906) is an American politician, air force general, and member of the Nationalist Party. He can become Vice-President of the United States of America under George Wallace, and President should Wallace be impeached. LeMay is known for his inexperience and rough personality.
Biography[]
Controversies[]
LeMay is notorious due to his statements about "bombing Africa to the Stone Age," a statement he made during Wallace's 1964 campaign trail. Some members of the Nationalist Party see LeMay as a political liability due to LeMay's statements and inexperience.
In-game[]
When George Wallace is impeached, Curtis LeMay has to unite a broken National Progressive Pact. He can choose to stick true to Wallace's campaign and racial segregation with the risk of alienating the Progressive Party, or he can reform the party to move to a non-racial platform at the risk of angering Wallace's base of segregationists. Each choice can bolster radical parties with the former boosting the Communist Party USA and the later boosting the far-right All-American National Vanguard. Either way, LeMay has to play his cards well or his coalition may disintegrate.
If Martin Bormann visits LeMay, the two will find each other to be equals in profanity, and the flavor event will end with LeMay telling Borrman "We Will Bury You!," a line that in real life, was a famous phrase said by Nikita Khrushchev.
Trivia[]
- Almost all of his transitional letters are either vulgar or otherwise humorous. For instance, Francis Parker Yockey succeeds Curtis LeMay, LeMay will give Yockey this message telling him to kill himself and calling him a "human cockroach". If Hall is elected, instead of telling him to kill himself, he gives him accurate descriptions on how to kill himself. His transitional letters to Margret Chase Smith and Henry M. Jackson both tell them to start nuclear war. His letters to Phyllis Schlaffy and Jeane Kirkpatrick vulgarly decry their platforms, and his letter to Micheal Harrington calls him a homosexual.
- Phillip Hart is the only successor to LeMay that receives a letter with genuine advice.
- Ironically for Wallace's Vice President, his civil rights bill is actually stronger than the one that Wallace repeals.
- His two radically different paths are hinted at in the Vice-Presidential description of LeMay in the Wallace cabinet, saying that if he were to become President, his policies would be anyone's guess.
