He should have watched Midnight Express as in in-flight movie.

“He should have watched Midnight Express as in in-flight movie”

1970, I knew an E-4, that suddenly re-upped for a quick burst of six, guaranteed a European duty station.
He left immediately, forgoing home leave.
A most unlikely and sudden change for this individual.

He had a ‘free’ vacuuming of his car by the Dallas Police.

At that time MJ was considered a narcotic and many many years possible sentence.

LOL, I was thinking the same thing!

I think the late, great talk radio host Art Bell had the theme song from Midnight Express as his bumper music.

Hah- while overseas, I had a heated discussion about Midnight Express with a Turkish cab driver when he was taking us to our hotel.

FYI, it was filmed in Malta- or at least that is what he screamed.
