Careful there. I am a USN guy, and there is always a temptation to the ground pounders to make that reference, for good reason-they take the brunt of the casualties.
But there were lots of Air Force men who lost their lives in defense of our country. Just because they didn't die in unfortunate bucketloads like the Army or Marines, that doesn't make their sacrifice less.
Sorry. I didn't mean to lecture, and I think it came across that way.
I'm a retired AF guy. The AF is unique for a number of reasons. One of them is that it is the only service where the officers are the combatants, and the enlisted members (the maintainers) send the officers off to die.
Having said that, Lindsey was a JAG. I was a JAG. So was my wife. I met Lindsey once; my wife knew him better, having shared office space in a large suite arrangement with him in Germany.
He was a very talented trial lawyer. He was prosecuting the military equivalent of felony cases, exclusively. With great success.
My wife says that if he had a girlfriend, she didn't meet her, or hear about one. She also says that she has absolutely no reason to suspect that he is gay. The man is a loner.
For what it is worth.
