Is it just me, or am I the only one offended by the title "Fly Boy"? Anybody
ever hear of an 18 or 19 year old infantryman called an Infantry Boy, or
Infantry Kid? Or a 17 year old Marine Child?

Fly Boy indeed. They were men grown old before their time making life and death
decisions, and not always the right ones. To call them "Boys" trivializes what
they went through.

Call me sensitive, but I'm really offended by that title.
