Who said I was aircrew Seaoat? You obviously must really be stupid to assume everyone in AF flies a plane. That being said, it takes huge balls to fly C-130s into a WEZ where you have everything against you and you are a big slow target. Doing those night air drops, Infil/exfil of SOF in mountainous terrain and doing missions that require terrain following and avoidance routes, landing in a box and one with just five runway lights takes bigger balls than you can even imagine.
Pace I am trying to make you think. Last night at the debates there were two candidates who looked at the plane and insinuated that SOS of State accomplished nothing because she got on lots of planes.........
So when I said you got on a plane, does that give your military career anymore fair assessment than the criticism of what SOS accomplished. It is an inherent unfair question which like asking somebody when did you stop beating your wife cannot be answered in a sentence anymore than your military career cannot be made to look foolish if you tried to answer the same question. This is about class. This is about intelligence. This is about the American Character. America is at its best when we are being fair and trying to get the truth. I give you crap to make you think. I am thankful for your service, but our SOS served this nation also and if you did not like the denigration of your service, how can you do the same?
