Lindberg wasn't very proud when he was training our gallant flyer's how to get more range out of their P-38's during WWII in the Pacific and was asked via radio by a trainee in the formation if it wouldn't be beneficial to bring the gear up since Lindberg left his down. ; D
As misguided as he was he thought he was helping his country, many of these people think they are acting in our best interest.
Being misguided isn't restricted to one party, let's hope history doesn't show how convoluted they are.
