My father told me that the most scared he's ever been in his life was having a bullet go through his insturment panel in his F-4 during Vietnam.

You just called my father a coward.

You're damn lucky you didn't say this to my face, you snot.

What's your address? :-)

But seriously, I don't think you read my second comment, in which I clarified the point. I'm not saying that air warriors are cowards--that'd be absurd, as what they do requires remarkable skill and courage. I'm saying that the American habit of trying to defeat or at least contain thugs like Saddam Hussein by occasionally lobbing a bomb his way, while studiously avoiding a direct assault on the ground, could reasonably be interpreted as a policy of cowardice.
