An answer to all
First, thanks to the past several of you guys for saving me some time by posting what I was going to say anyway.
Second, WD, see what happened here? You're IDIOT IN WASHINGTON remark did just what I thought it would do....and all I did was ask you to skip that kind of cheap talk.
Third, whoever asked me if I flew C141's or something. No, I was a grunt in the Marines. (all you USAF guys----loved those A10's)
Fourth, "I don't trust those people" related to the Saudi's Iraqi's, Iranians, all of them out there. Even the ones "on our side" proved disappointing. Nothing like doing all the dirty work and having to let someone else who did minimal participation come in as the heroes.
Fifth, WD...look beyond your selfish motivations. WWII was not good for the airline industry at the time. So you would rather have had us roll over and let the Axis Powers take us over so the airline industry could do better? We'd have 3 airlines to choose from, Alitalia, Japan Airlines and Lufthansa (no offense to anyone who flies for these three--just using an example). Well....
Sixth, Now can we get back to aviation?
