"Castro! You bearded fag! I'd like to chase you down the streets of Havana in my F-4!!"

Reminds of a story from Pat Conroy about his father, the model for Bull Meacham...

Col Conroy was alerted for combat patrol over Cuba, to shoot down anything Castro put up in the air. This combat patrol was to be in support of the Bay of Pigs invasion. Of course it never happened but... As he left to report to the base Mrs Conroy was praying - praying for the souls of all the poor b*st*rds that Col Conroy was gonna blow out of the sky!
