Ah well - guess that's the thing about getting older.
I've reached the point where no matter what someone's `achieved' if they're a c*ck, I'm just not interested anymore.
Guess that makes me a mediocre snowflake - or - ahem - a maggot?
For example, a certain retired USAF Brigadier General - complete arse of a man by all accounts.
I'd forgotten about the Bader stories, but reading about the way he treated that Batman...
I prefer my heroes quiet and competent.
No noise - just do the ******* job so brilliantly that you're beyond question.
Kinda like the bloke who piloted the LEM...?
