I was a Navy aircrewman, and have the greatest respect for Navy pilots, but I have to say that the greatest Naval aviators were the Army Air Corps men that flew Mitchells of the Hornet...with only enough fuel to crash or bail out in hopefully friendly territory. I often wonder these days if we as a nation are worthy of the legacy of men like that. My father had the misfortune to be a 20 year old sergeant at a place called Corregidor. I often wonder.

You no longer wonder . . . . . we all know the answer.

Damned shame.

We ust'a be the baddest MFers on the planet and NOBODY really effed with us.

We've lost our will to kill as a male population of Americans.
