Col Jacobs

Donīt get wound up by some has-been Col from the US. While we might respect what veterans did in their day, many, like him, are not able to adjust to modern military operations. Would he really have acted differently if picked up by Soviets near a border in the Cold War? Of course not. Did his countrymen start shooting when the US aircraft was captured by the Chinese? No. Perhaps if he applied his attention to some of the activities of his own forces in certain countries, we might be able to win their hearts and minds instead of p***ing them off!
