When those of use who participated in WWII are dead and gone, you can
rewrite history if you desire. In the mean time, a bit of humility
might be in order.

Your posts write down on all on this news group and at the young age
of 29, you are just starting on lifes path with lots of years to learn
and things to experience.

You certainily don't have the width and depth to be the guru on
piloting on GA or Heavy Iron.

Out political system which you take umbrage with, is our system. It
works for us and must be good, with all who try to come here from
countries around the world.

And a good day to thee Sir.

how long will you bring this into account? I was born 30 years after the
war (WWII) *ended*. As I wrote befo you (the allies) did a great job and
I am thankful. But it is too long ago to still pay for it.
I say thank you - nothing more, but nothing less.

6. Just remember VN. We're in this War to win.

This is a lesson that must not be forgotten.

Too many young people don't seem to understand that war must be waged
completely and decisively. Viet Nam taught us that pussy-footing around in
a war gets MORE people killed, not less.

If Korea didn't teach that lesson, and Vietnam and all the lessons since
didn't teach it, why should this instance?

First, my apologies for misspelling "Priceless". Late at night with
'puddle' fingers and not running spell checker ( Thank all for not
commenting G


I thought it had something to do with before a "cless".
