*I remember the Kursk.*

“The Command* was a good movie on the Kursk. Sad. A torpedo man requested the mission aborted due to temperatures reaching a dangerous level. It was denied. People covering their butts got them all killed. Then the higher-ups wouldn’t acknowledge it. An 89 year-old Max Von Sydow played the Russian higher-up who did a poor job explaining it to the angry families of the victims.

The moral? Don’t put your life in someone else’s hands. I joined the Air Force. Planes needed to be in a protected area, far from any ‘action’. Let the dummies who join for the adventure get themselves killed. Pat Tillman was one.
