You keep forgetting that...

No, I didn't forget that. F-102 jocks flying recce in Viet Nam needed
500 hours in the aircraft. George W. Bush had less than 300 when he
refused his annual flight physical. My point was not against those
flying the F-102 in the ANG. Many of them did stand up and fight when
called.. George W. Bush simply wasn't one of them.

A fighter piot who never fought is like a bombardier who never flew a bomb run
or a navigator who never plotted a course. WORTHLESS

You are a true idiot. Ever hear of the Cold War? How about a sailor on a
missile submarine or a SAC crewman? Were they worthless also?

Uhh ...Dave..let me introduce to Art Kramer...the answer to your question is
"yes". In fact, there are people who served in combat, even in WWII, that
Kramer says were worthless.

Hey Art, up until very recently, most of our fighter pilots had never seen
combat. Are they all worthless? And I have news for you, most pilots pray
that they never have to see combat. Those guys must really be worthless, no?
