“I was flying a twin and ran into a thunderstorm”
Only an idiot would say such a thing. A REAL pilot would have turned away from it and left because any pilot knows the winds of a thunderstorm tear apart little airplanes. Airlines are not allowed by corporate regulation to get near them and private pilots know to skirt them. So, I call bullsh*t on your little story of heroics.
It was a joke.
Sort of like this:
The teacher gave her fifth grade class an assignment: Get their parents to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it. The next day, the kids came back and, one by one, began to tell their stories. There were all the regular types of stuff: spilled milk and pennies saved. But then the teacher realized, much to her dismay, that only Janie was left.
"Janie, do you have a story to share?'
''Yes ma'am. My daddy told me a story about my Mommy.
She was a Marine pilot in Desert Storm, and her plane got hit. She had to bail out over enemy territory, and all she had was a flask of whiskey, a pistol, and a survival knife.
She drank the whiskey on the way down so the bottle wouldn't break, and then her parachute landed her right in the middle of 20 Iraqi troops.. She shot 15 of them with the pistol, until she ran out of bullets, killed four more with the knife, till the blade broke, and then she killed the last Iraqi with her bare hands.”
''Good Heavens,” said the horrified teacher. “What did your Daddy tell you was the moral to this horrible story?”
"Stay away from Mommy when she's been drinking."
Y’all owned the hear me roar slattern from down yonder
By her bravado my 12 year old Wade is a crack shot, fights like Marciano and lives to be in some guaranteed fighting unit some day
So why not now?
He’d make a great tunnel rat for sure....by same logic stupid women in combat sorts make here
Matt knows him....he can vouch for his tenacity.....Wade could also talk the enemy to death....just put him on some loudspeakers ala Noriega
