Hey PE, I'll say a prayer tonight for you and your family. God be with you and may the Lord comfort you through healing.

BTW, is the lead surgeon a Republican? ;^)

NO NO NO! I think he was talking about Rudyard Kipling and Captains Courageous. I'm sure it was just a small oversight on Iris7's part that he didn't finish the word Courage.

There are two airplanes that just flat look like predators, one was the ME109, the other the F4.

Agreed! :-)

Evening Victoria.

Am I the only guy in America that Marilyn didn't make go ga-ga? Never really found her attractive.

Never could figure out how on a huge ocean you could get your PT rammed by a destroyer without seeing or hearing it coming.

If you are in a drunken stupor, sleeping off the effects of too much torpedo fuel.

We are asked to believe so much. At a point, suspension of disbelief fails catastrophically and we are calling liars liars, crooks crooks, and traitors by their real names.

And then John Kerry runs for President and we are asked all over again.

Good points, good posts to both of you.

One account said he "only had fifteen seconds to react"--

That's enough time to type up a letter and envelope, insert, seal the flap, apply a stamp and mail a message to the crew to get outta Dodge.
