A post that indicated more compassion and human emotions than the
other. Thanks for that.

suspect Art has felt guilty about his behaviour towards a war hero and
his
posting was an apology.
We all felt fear But we kept it in a box and kept going. When he let his
fear
come out of the box he showed us what might be the worst in all of us,
and we
hated him for showing us that. Fear is contagious and spreads like
wildfire.
Fear must be nipped in the bud, pushed out of sigh and dealt with
harshly.. Did
I feel sorry for him. Yes to some degree. But I was in the minority. The
vast
majority of the group wouldn't give him an inch. But after all, we were
flying,
he wasn't. When one aircrew went down one guy who lost a best friend on
that
mission said that if he had the chance he would blow Johnson's brains out,
and
I think he really might have. Johnson never showed up at another reunion
again.
Sad for all concerned.
