Lemme see, is that a reference to the incumbent president?


DUH !!

The one who
spent three times as long in military service and qualified to fly
single-seat, single-engine jets?

Yeah, much of it in absentia (stateside no less), and who didn't show
for a flight physical for unexplained reasons.

The one with the Yale degree and the
Harvard MBA?

A legacy.

Or, is that somehow implying that flying military fighters is a simple
task? In combat?

Not saying it is simple, but it's not rocket science, either. He never
flew in combat...never even saw combat...never went to Nam (unlike his
last opponent).


I've encountered some unsophisticated tactical aviators along the way,
and even some folks populating fighter cockpits who were in no way,
shape or form, qualified to carry the title, Fighter Pilot.

I didn't know you'd met W.

But I
don't know a single one that I would characterize as "profoundly
stupid".

You got any experience in that line?

No. Unlike you, I don't have any experience being profoundly stupid.
