Actually, the letter to which you refer I thought was entirely plausable.

It was certainly was.
During that segment, I was thinking "Well, Burns had to do it....
produce a counterpoint to The History Channel's 'Dogfights'."

But as I listened, I do think it was good to hear that not everything
in the air was a "tally-ho" affair where the Germans (or Japanese)
always take it on the nose.
Which may be a good tact to take in a documentary...

Maybe I missed my point. The one letter that was not sent was from the perspective of he was in a war of death. He was honest about his feelings and there was no political slant whatsoever.

The other statement was from a guy who actually made a 180 degree turn. He commented something about if our legislators had to experience war, blah blah blah. That is the statement I thought was hindsight—I question that being a battlefield thought although I suppose it could have been. Might be I perceived it incorrectly. Thus, to me the statement was entirely after-the-fact and did not represent what I thought this series was about.
