OK Art, tell that to a combat Marine - face to face. If all that
happens
is
he asks you where you fought - and then laughs in your face when you
tell
him you will be a very lucky man.

Just for the record, Jack, during WWII, the 8th Air Force sustained
more
casualties over Europe than the entire United States Marine Corps did
world-wide
throughout the entire war. If you don't believe me, just ask Google
the
right
questions and they'll provide the same answer that I just did....I
know
because
I've already done it.

That's just the 8th. Then add the 9th and the 15th and all the air
forces
in
the Pacific and you have a total that makes air duty the most hazardous
in
the
history of of warfare. Wanna live? Join anything but the Air Forces..
Or
fly
B-52's over Iraq. Or do what Bush did. which was nothing.
You mean, 'which was fly a dangerous, difficult, occasionally explosive,
1950's vintage supersonic interceptor for 3 years.'
Piece of cake compared ot a B-26 Marauder. Check rhe records. And what
did you
fly?
I wasn't even alive until 1977.
And as far as I know, nobody was flying B26's during the Vietnam era. So try
to compare apples to apples. At the time, the F102 was a far more perilous
aircraft than many of the others flying at the time.
How the hell would you know?
