How many did you fly?

I see your point Art, those lives were just ordinary lives, not air crew.

He did 55. How many did you fly?

I find it reprehensible that Art can dismiss the efforts and lives of
men who spent more weeks in combat than he did hours, just because they
did not wear wings, with thoughtless smart-arse comments.

You are buying Tarver's lies hook line and sinker. Idiot

No one doubts that his time in combat was stressful and terrifying, and
may even have had some impact on the outcome of the European war; but he
did get to eat decent meals, at a table in comfort, and to sleep in a
safe bed every night.

Not just me,Me and a million other guys. How about you?

His recollections of history are interesting contributions, but his
off-hand dismissal of everyone who was not in air combat is becoming
tiresome.

I am waiting for you to tell more interesting combat experiences. Start now.
