"We will wild weasel them, end of story."
_______________________________________________________________
No way, Jose! What people are never told in that History Channel episode is that the Wild Weasels should never have existed in the first place. Because of the ridiculous "rules of engagement" we were not allowed to attack SAM sites UNTIL they were actually firing at our aircraft. The Weasels were expcted to fly out and shake their booty until the missile batteries cut loose. Only THEN were they allowed to blast them. The whole thing was a grim farce. The men who died or were captured on such missions were sacrificed to LBJ's cowardice.
I give up. What does that mean?
