Your nature is to presumption and malice. How 'bout that. One thing
about presumptuousness is that it often hides ignorance (not naiveté,
in this case), such as assuming that all vets understand flyovers. In
the other case, it shows a tremendous ignorance (or possibly just
naiveté) regarding Navy action in Vietnam.

Talk about presumption and ignorance... why would you extract *anything*
regarding "Navy action in Vietnam" from the original question? It makes no
sense whatsoever.

Just for your edification, one of my closest friends served in the Navy in
Vietnam. And, who could forget the whole "Swiftboat" business, or the F4s
and other Navy aircraft that were carrier-based, not to mention the fleet
stationed there? It would be kind of hard *not* to know of Navy action in
Vietnam unless you were born since then and lived in an opaque bubble.

Face it, Matt, you went off on a bizarre tangent that only underscores
your misreading of the original question.
