Agreed. As you may have gathered, I had some dealings in country with the Iraqis in the 1980's as a representative of a company supporting them . Our service engineers had stories to fill a book, including trying to ram home that degrees C and degrees F were different.
The educated pilots were a different matter.
May I add that these same service engineers worked on ,without histrionics , and despite incoming SCUDS, during the Iran/Iraq " war of the cities".
In contrast to some REMF "military" personnel in Saudi ,who played the violin a few years later....
