So there I am...A Navy Seal doing mach 4 over Baghdad when all of the sudden...the fan belt goes out on me. So I put my jet into auto-pilot, flip open the canopy, and crawl out onto the nose cone in order to pop open the hood and replace the fan belt. Problem is that I realized that I didn't have a spare fan belt, so I reached into my pocket and pulled out a pair of pantyhose (I bought it from the black market for my girlfriend back home, where thanks to the war, such things are in short supply) and used that instead. I put the hood back down, got back into my cockpit, pulled the canopy down and continued on with my mission. And that's how I won the war against Canada.
If you were a Senator from Massachusetts, this episode of your military life would not only be credible but will remain seared in your mind.
