minigundiplomat,
Sorry, but I don't get your point about an ivory tower. There isn't one in the hangar I work from.
The point of my original post was to express my opinion that Winco's statement that he was "speaking for the majority of those who still in" was not correct as far as our squadron is concerned. I can honestly say that I can't ever recall the subject of any recent conversation being CAS and/or how he has performed in post. There are far more parochial matters concerning us such as JPA, petrol prices, etc.
