Combat Service in Three Wars. Jet Ace in Korea. When Col Kasler was captured Time Magazine put him on its cover as the face of courage of the USAF fighter bomber crews. That was in 1966, before the pro-communists got well organized.

This is the sort of person that high schools should be named for.

How ironic. I just saw a B-29 fly out of Van Nuys airport this morning. I’ve seen B-17s and B-24s,and B-25s but never a B-29. What a treat!

appear before TV cameras on the occasion of the supposed 3,000th American airplane shot down over North Vietnam.

The guy's an American hero and an example to all, no question. But 3000 aircraft losses by 1966? WTF? No wonder we lost. Perhaps someone should have taken stock of what we thought we were doing, you know, strategy, or at least tactics so we don't loose another 3000 aircraft. Even then these things were expensive.
