To second guess circumstances sixty years later, particularly based on
an author's creative account is to demean the whole warrior ethic.

Hell, Ed, it's worst than that: the second guessing by our
"resident 'if you ain't been, you ain't ****...' curmudgeon"
is mainly on account of Bush senior being a Republican.

"****ing contest" has been the best description for RAM
for some months now. At least it has SOME connection
to military aviation, though I suspect that is purely circumstantial.
