I trust nothing said under duress. What would you expect them to say? What would happen if they said otherwise?

The comments made by one pilot were made in 2019. I doubt he was under duress. He was already retired from the military.

Now i've read several of your comments without engaging you on this topic, because your vehemence convinced me that you may have more than a passing interest in this particular incident. Is this particular incident personal for you somehow?

Nope, nothing personal, other than ignorant, ill-informed comments about US military personnel just being unfortunate. Just outing people that engage in that behavior.

What they did to those pilots in the simulator is wait till the very last moment then they deliberately shut off one of their engines

Source, please.

That lends it some credibility, but does not necessarily make it convincing. The modern military is very "woke", and some people, like General Milley, pretty much show they've been brainwashed and are irrational.

Vindman also comes to mind. We've got a lot of kooks in the service now.

Source, please.

That was 28 years ago, and you expect me to find that source again? It might have been the American Spectator, but I was reading a lot of other resources at that time too. I had a subscription to National Review, so it might be in there, but i'm thinking it was the American Spectator because it always was a little edgier.

Might have been other publications. I don't remember for sure, but I certainly remember those details.

Here you go, and you aren't going to like it.

What I said was on the third page of the article, but I advise you to read the entire thing.

You should give me an "Attaboy!" for finding this.
