Ok. Meant to just make a simple observation and I appreciate your comments and am in agreement for the most part with you.
Not naive my FRiend having deployed overseas in the USAF for my first time at 18 years old back in 1971. Lots of military time since then including combat. Most recently here I have been flight testing military aircraft here for a couple of the US allies in the region.
As I said, I plan to write a more in depth vanity upon my return in a week or so. As for your TE Lawrence quote from the 1962 movie, I actually have that video clip on my personal laptop as I also felt it captured the essence of the culture and life over here pretty darn well. Cheers.
Thanks for your clarification, we agree with Peter O’Toole!
