How true. It is soooooooooooo much harder to be a professor than it is to
risk your entire net worth to start up and run a successful business that
creates jobs and contributes to the economy. Glenn L. Martin was a perfect
example of just such a buffoon.

The vast majority of university professors and scholars are Democratic
liberals. Very few are neocons. The neocons just can't make the cut into

higher
education.
They just aren't smart enough as Bush so eloquently demonstrates.

And it's also credited with having the safest record of all medium
bombers by the end of the war.

Not exactly. It had the worst record of killing crews in training.


Which was also the second best record.

Just FYI, Art: they were still using that "one a day in Tampa
Bay" line in 1969 at MacDill - except the planes were by then
F-4Es of a Replacement Training Unit for the Vietnam war.

There was nothing defective about the aircraft or the maintenance,
either; it was the inexperienced drivers that put 'em there.

Is that from the 1,000 houirs you flew the B-26?


No, but it was from the more than 30,000 hours I eventually
amassed working on those F-4s.

How many hours do you have maintaining the B-26?
If the answer is "none", then you're totally unqualified to
comment on the subject.
