As my previous post (and all others) has been cited as a 'gotcha', can I just say that when HJ mentions post 85, he is only quoting one individuals opinion.

For my own part, much if not all of post 85 can be shown to be inaccurate in history, even if I do broadly agree with the sentiment.

The part which comes across as really silly to me is that we have a poster who may have flown combat missions to kill other folks he had never met, and would never know, purely based on political ideology and markings painted on the side of an aircraft or vehicle! To then scoff at others joy/happyness, who may know someone near and dear to them who were murdered in OBL's name, comes across as a bit hypocritical to me.

Did I hate anyone I killed...No. It was my job and I did it, and I guess the same goes for many others on this MILITARY aviation site.

No offence to any particular poster(s) intended.
