Subject: Why did Bush join the national guard?
From: (B2431) Date: 9/7/2004 1:52 PM Pacific Standard Time Message-id: I'll bet he saw more combat than you did and he flew C-54s. A C-54 is not a combat aircraft. Seeing "action" implies that you have done harm to the enemy. You can't do harm to the enemy in an unarmed airliner. Flying combat airccraft is one thing, Flying airliners is something else.

Admit it Art, you were a just a crew member on an airplane flown by a real pilot. Applying your convoluted "logic" to your self - you have no right to express opinions on piloting anything - or on being a commissioned officer with aircraft command authority. And your definition of "action" is so screwd up I'm not even going to comment... Jack G. |

From: "Jack G" Date: 9/7/2004 7:54 PM Pacific Art, Being a bombadeer / navigator is not like piloting anything. Admit it Art, you were a just a crew member on an airplane flown by a real pilot. Do you know why they have pilots on bombers? Just for one reason which was to put a bombardier over a target for 30 seconds. Do you know why they have gunners on a bomber? Just one reason. To protect that bombardier and get him over the target for 30 seconds. Do you know why they have fighter cover? Just to get a bombardier over a target for 30 seconds. The pilot is only a bus driver to deliver him where he can hurt the enemy. So don't make too big a deal of pilots . Some are good and some are not..If you get one who can fly a good bomb run, not dump your gyro and keep the wings level so you don't dump bombs all over the landscape, you are lucky.But good bomb run pilots are not all that easy to find. And as far as judging pilots performance on a bomb run, no one is more qualified to make that judgement than a bombardier. But this is a subject you would know nothing about.

This pretty much proves that Kramer is dead, and his nephew or ******* child has taken over his name. A real veteran doesn't think like that, and I've known some serious misfits, but never to this level. |
