HC,
Nick is a former Gunship pilot....a Cobra pilot in fact....thus one cannot expect a Gunny of Greek origin to get the spelling right on the first go. For crying out loud Man, he trips over his own shoelaces.(Probably how he got selected for Cobras....or on his inability to fly formation.) Let it suffice that he understands the concepts ,which in some cases around this rodeo, does not apply to all parties to the argument.
Nick,
Remember the old cowboy saying...."When you ride for the brand....ride for the brand."
One should not criticize a cowboy's loyalty.
