I'm not convinced of that, MrB.....
Some while ago, after some of Uncle Spam's gung-ho idiots shot down an Iranian A300 (no doubt 'high 5-ing' eachother and whooping 'way to go' even before the wreckage hit the water), an RAF crew was at a static display in the Land of the Lardarses. As one does, they had been partaking of a little 'refreshment'. Some reporter thrust a microphone under the nose of the navigator and asked for a comment about the Airbus shoot-down.
"A terrible tragedy", he said
"Waddya mean - surely the guys just reacted to an 'inbound bogey' "
"No - I mean it was a terrible tragedy - because I hear there were 80 empty seats on the aircraft"
OOPS! Still, he's now a 1 star!
Biggest threat to world peace is neither Iran nor even North Korea...... Commiseration to the bereaved.
