“aren’t we supposed to shoot at em at some point.”

There is an old poster in the cafeteria, probably from WWII, maybe Vietnam, at the Top Gun School “There are old pilots. There are bold pilots. But there are no old bold pilots.”

Mission one is coming home to fight another day.

Sucks when secondary missions fail, but that is the way it is.

I love John Wayne as much as the next guy, but despite his movie rolls, the traditional cowboy way is not the way to win a dogfight. More like Clint Eastwood in “Unforgiven.” Fight when you have to, but shooting them with a shotgun in the outhouse is better.

The Red Barron taught us this lesson, if you read up on him.
