"Crashing 5 airplanes before getting shot down in Viet Nam isn't normally tolerated either."

Doesn"t that make him an Ace for the enemy?

There was a new song Oscar Brand played on last weekend's Folk Song Festival entitled Aces For The Enemy.

I was suprised, because it was essentially a conservative diatribe against fifth columnists, and media jackals that drag down our country during times of war.

He usually doesn't play patriotic songs-at least, not ones that have been written recently-and never plays anything that could be even remotely construed as conservative, or anti-leftist in nature.

I was pleasantly surprised.

Anyway, where did that phrase come from originally?

My understanding is that he crashed 5 aircraft between the time he started flight training and the time he took aircraft #6 into combat where he was shot down.
