"Mike Weeks" wrote in message oups.com... my-oh-my, now that was so very "profound" ... geez .... Not interested in being profound. This is Usenet, not a class on Fermat's Last Theorem. You had already answered the posters question with a statement that didn't need further amplification. Rather than open a new thread with a simple comment about additional ramifications that might be happening within the naval fighter community, I simply used your post to segway into that additional comment by prefacing my post with a comment saying in effect that I was doing this. That opening sentence was in part, " Not on the level you're discussing Mike............but..........". Your answering post to me was argumentative, overly aggressive, and unnecessarily confrontational. I take it you didn't like the thread creep. If you had posted to me and simply said you objected to the creep, I would have answered you and apologized to you. For the way you posted to me however..........at the risk of seeming unprofound, it's a simple "go **** yourself" and always will be when dealing with me. Dudley Henriques |

Apologize for not apparently having the vision to see you were only
"creeping" ... As to your last profound statement; well, glad I didn't respond in kind .... |

Let's just call it a day and I'll refrain from posting to you again. I'd appreciate it if you will show me the same courtesy and all will be well in the valley . DH |

Tell you what Henriques, it'll depend on the subject - nothing more, nothing less; since after all this is the net and an open NG. MW |

"Dudley Henriques" wrote .. I didn't see any fighter pilots offering up roses. I think I can assure you, there will be an unwritten and fairly silent but brutal ramification within the naval fighter community. This kind of reversal doesn't go down well at Squadron level. from what I know of the fighter community, the navy fighter community will NEVER forgive him, Cunningham is a classic example of a good man gone bad! I can't think of anyone in my lifetime who had more going for him and ended up with less than Randy. Dudley Henriques Cunningham, after 10 years in the slammer will come out with an asshole almost as big as he turned out to be! 2.4 Million in bribes and he believed it would never come to light! Too bad he wasn't a Democrat in the House. Disgraced the uniform and his Oath of Office. |

There is something missing here. I talked to a guy who was in his
squadrod or knew him very well. A great pilot, but not so great an Naval officer. He was in the process of being rifted after he got turned down twice for a regular commission. After he got the 5th Mig, he got a call from the CNO who told him that a special augmentation board had just been held and he was happy to tell him that he had been selected to the Regular Navy. |

You have the correct story. The same facts apply to Driscoll, his RIO. |

In fact, one of the characters in one of his books is "loosely" patterned after Duke Cunningham. -- Remve "_" from email to reply to me personally. |
