My father is a retired Naval Aviator.

There is no doubt in my mind that I have attended more memorial services
than you. My father has lost dozens of friends. My best friend lost his
father and my high school girlfriend lost her father. I won't go into
specifics, but my father was involved in a crash in 1969 and only an
ejection seat failure kept him from ejecting in 1978.

I am aware of the risks. Anyone who grew up in a Navy town knows the risk.

If I have to explain to you that military aviation is by definition a
risky business, I doubt you would understand it. The point is not the
risk, the point is lives were saved. But you already knew that, didn't
you.

So, in an assignment in which you were tasked to help people, you helped
people? To what extent did you place yourself at risk in this mission?

Tell you what, if you ever grow balls large enough, go check the records
of SOES, circa 1979 through 1981, at MCAS Cherry Point. In fact, check
out the records of a medevac mission in 1981 involving a mom who had
just given birth and was hemorraging, and the preemie to which she had
just given birth. Then check out the comments of the (at the time,
double-digit midget) Vietnam-vet crew chief on the aircraft that took
them from Cherry Point to the main hospital at Lejeune.
