Salute!
Thank you, Bads!
I apologize if I get tired sometimes and let loose, but this event and a plethora of uninfomed comments requires it.
I appreciate being able to see the opinions as well as the ignorance of the many folks here from other countries, believe me. However, I am not going to attempt to change their minds or beliefs.
I only present my own view based on my own lifetime experience and what I can glean from historical reports and analysis of the same events in which I participated! Yep, due to timing and my profession I was involved in many historical events since the 60's, primarily military-oriented. So that's where I come from.
I only ask to be tolerated, but to be warned if I have crossed some line or insulted someone or some creed, race, religion, etc.
If you think I am damned proud of what many brave souls of my profession, my country did a few days ago to save one of our own, then a direct hit. And I recall the gist of a quote by a historical aviator/warrior of LW fame and the use of high tech stuff by U.S. rescue forces that others dream of.
Only the spirit of attack born in a brave heart will bring success to any weapon system no matter how highly developed it may be.
Gums sends...
