just watch the RIGHT THING

Just serendipity, but I get a list of books that have gone on sale each day for the Amazon Kindle.

Today, Wolfe's The Right Stuff was $4.99. I jumped on it to replace the hardcover "loaned" to someone decades ago.

"People on the airshow circuit say that Yeager is actually a total a$shole, BTW."

I know Gen. Yeager and do not concur with that assessment.

So much for watching that stinking movie!

Overwrought and melodramatic, the trailer gave me the impression it would be a turd.

So what?

People have said the same about many people they’re jealous of.

Most of the movie industry is now dysfunctional to the point they can’t even tell a true story without loading it up with libtard messaging.

Here Chuck Yeager is sticking up for the good guys and someone sticks a shiv in him on the second comment. Based on gossip. Way to go.

Col Yeager was the commander of the B-57’s at Bien Hoa AB, RVN, when a chain reaction of explosions killed 26 Airmen and one Navy Pilot. He treated the lost airmen and families with respect.
