I'd do that. I wonder if I could get a 3rd shot at the big bird. 2nd time around was pretty iffy. Age and hearing problems and stuff.

I volunteered but after I told them I would advise “just nuke the place from orbit - its the only way to be sure” they were no longer interested... Wimps!

There was a time when you did not need an Air Force guy to call in air strikes. The Army had their own people doing it, talking directly to the pilots. Apparently the Air Force decided they could no longer trust the Army with such a complicated important task so they started using their own people. Kind of like the Air Force doesn't want anyone to use armed drones or fighters or transports etc. except them.
