Interesting how many people use noms de net (and with good reason, no doubt).
There was a year or two ago the son of an extemely famous MAC-SOG vet who
posted for a bit before entering active duty. I know his father and figured it
out.
From evidence in his posts, I think there is a retired general, War College
instructor and advisor to the late Sen. Henry Jackson as member of the Senate
Armed Services Committee who posts here.
Then there is the B-52 pilot whose name I think I know based on his comments
about his master's thesis. A well respected guy he is, and probably heading
for a long and distinguished career.
Then there are some others.
Usenet is interesting because it allows people to let it all out and say what
they really feel. But in many cases, doing that under your real name is not
wise.

As for old Hal Hanig, good luck to him. He is a porkypine fresh off the tree,
all right. But he is one of the rare ones who served in three wars. And he
doesn't feel the need to relentlessly boast about the fact or denigrate others
who haven't done so. Lift a glass of Jack to him.
