Your buddy Robbie did more damage to the war effort in his childishness

Childishness? The poor guy had two choices; descend to an extremely low
altitude and become target practice for every Jerry with a 7mm or greater, or
jettison his weapons and RTB. He chose the latter (as would *every* aviator
given those choices). Was it bad luck that his weapons destroyed a bridge and
slowed 3rd Army's advance? Yes. Was it intentional? No. Is it funny? Well, in
my opinion, no, but in certain situations with casulties every day, I don't
find it hard to believe that some found the humor in it. Sometimes its hard to
see a "cause-effect" relationship and much easier to see a ; "when its your
time, its your time" relationship.
