Default "Duke" Cunningham is doing time.

SNIP
I flew against him 4 times at Top Gun and had 4 kills.


Lots of guys flew against me in operational units as well as when I
was instructing at Fighter Lead-In. Lots of guys had kills against me.
Was that inferiority in my skills set or was I providing a rewarding
learning experience for them? I know, but they can't be sure.


Excellent point and very true.

"Kills" in training are meaningless. Killing or being killed in combat
are the true measure. I didn't get any kills in combat against enemy
aircraft, but then I never got killed either.


AMEN! Thanks Ed.
