Ain't Hollywood wonderful?

When we were stationed at Florennes Belgium a bunch of officers showed up one
day. They were a strange lookign lot. Kind of pudgy and out of shape
looking.Didn't look very military at all. In discussions they didn't seem to
know much about military flying but had higher rank than most of us; caprtains
and majors and even a Lt.Col. They wore no wings and had no battle stars or
decorations of any kind. Who the hell were they? Well it turned out that they
were JAG officers; Judge advocate General's Office. They were military lawyers.
All of which is ok. After all they we e lawyers not soldiers or flying
personelle. All that is fine., But recently I watched an episode of JAG on TV.
These guys and woman were all highly decorated. The lead even wore naval
aviators wings. Everyone was covered with ribbons and rank and they looked to
be in first class physical condition. And all very good looking. I think back
to those JAG officers in WWII, the pudgy brigade and compare them to those in
the TV series. Ain't Hollywood wonderful? (grin)
