And you don't owe your combat survival to literally hundreds of folks
who weren't in combat but who worked hard to qualify and support your
effort?

If time is the criteria (stand by for cheap shot...), how much time to
you have as pilot-in-command? As a rated AF pilot? As pilot of a
Century Series jet? Solo?

C'mon, Art, we know you don't like Bush. That's fine and perfectly
acceptable. But, don't manipulate facts in the hope that somehow you
will prove that he is less of a man than you.

And, you really don't want to start on Kerry and his Winter Soldier
activities, do you?
