“...we said exactly that, with some colorful variations all through the war”
After finally shoehorning some information out of my Dad (a P-51 driver who flew tactical reconnaissance for Georgy Patton), the Korea vet in-laws, my brothers and I from ‘Nam most of the First Gulf War and now the WOT, we’ve all been saying exactly that about way too many wars.
Problem is, that while it might seem like a distraction to some, those distractions have an annoying habit of getting people sent home in body bags.
If you can find anything to put in the bag, or (my personal burr under the saddle) even bother to look. (I’ve still got former student pilots on the MIA list.)
