This Vietnam War Vet (never boots down, I'm always careful to make that distinction) who worked on AC that flew missions over VN knows the duties and the responsibilities that go with hot missions.
Lots of critical things, tons of responsibilities. Those who haven't experienced this have no way of knowing.
I always extend my best regards to all of who served and serve, especially in a war effort.
“Those who haven’t experienced this have no way of knowing.”
We can all understand the difference, after factoring out all the drama, between facing enemy bullets and not having to face enemy bullets. One is, your life is continuously on the line, the other, it is not. Big difference.
