I have a wave file of a VN-era rescue going bad - a Jolly enters into a pick up
zone over a downed pilot and are promptly driven off by a blizzard of small arms fire. The voices are professional but not entirely "calm" as they are in direct fire from the enemy that they cannot see. A pilot reacts to the sight of the H-2 getting raked as it pulls in over the survivor and yells, "Get out of there buddy - you were recievin' fire that time!" He replies stoicly, "We're takin' fire every time." After a pause, he came back on the air, over the sound of his own disintegrating helicopter, "We've been shot... out of the ... sky.." at which point the transmission ends. I think judging an entire Air Force's radio discipline and drawing conclusions as to their professionalism based on the comments made during a combat encounter is rather churlish, when its done from the comfort of a computer chair in someone's home.
