Ignore the trolls. I for one, always enjoy your tales. I wish more
veterans
did it. Keep it up

Thank you for the kind words. You will find that most who denigrate never
actually flew a mission or were even in combat. They just endlessley
quote what

Can I second Adrian's comments? It's important for as many people out
there as possible - most of them are 2 generations removed from what
Art and his comrades (and my father and /his/) went through - to
know that war is not something that happens on TV.

It is even more important that they get an honest view of the events--not
claims that his unit *never* missed its target (ludicrous), that he
gallantly went off to war while the Guard sat behind at its armories (a
patent falsehood), etc. So your second seems to be misdirected if you are
interested in gaining a truthful account; if on the other hand you want
fiction, Art is indeed your best source.

How would you know wannabee? If they want a good source that sure isn't you
hiding under your desk as the war raged. Have you no shame.
