That's awfully nostalgic for someone who's never served and imagines people being put into harms way being killed and wounded as "fun and interesting".




Being place in harm way is no big deal as I had placed myself in harm way for the fun of jumping out of aircrafts or the fun of flying a 300 pound MX ultralight two miles into the south florida sky on the weekends.

If there was anyway to do so I would had love to be back in time flying some of the right brothers military aircrafts over Mexico.

footnote of the small ultralight flying club I was a member of, five members had die in flying mishaps of one kind or another and the people who train me in jumping lost a whole plane of jumpers with only one woman able to get out of the plane as it spin down.

Footnote the army learn that they need someone train in flying to be able to picked out landing fields as most of the machines lost in Mexico was due to the poor selections of landing fields.

@BillRM,
I am aghast with your trivialization of the sacrifices made of people who unlike you found a call to service and an honoring of the debt we owe as citizens. I don't criticize your lack of having or doing any of that, but I do question your pitiful comparison of glider flight to combat or disease death or injury of our troops.

Seriously. What's wrong with you?

@bobsal u1553115,
Risking one life is risking one life period and an ultralight is a power aircraft not a glider unless it two cycle 75 hp engine fail.

It is very similar to the aircrafts flown into Mexico during the war with Mexico in many ways an as I had stated I had have flying partners died while flying ultralights.

@bobsal u1553115,
By the way Benjamin Delahauf Foulois who was in charge of the planes send south during the Mexican war according to his own writings in his autobiography was having a level of fun that I would had have in his place.

An Patton going big game hunting by himself and returning with two leaders of the enemy tied to the hood of his car seems to have been having fun also.

As you have certainly gleaned from his non-answers, he doesn't have the beginning of a clue.

@snood,
Sweet Jesus, he is comparing recreational risks with the horrors of war??? I don't know what to say, the fact that he is a naturalized citizen (opinion developed by his pitiful English) and I (a woman) have been involved in more dangerous situations than that creme puff ever has, kind of pissed me off. Were enemy combatants shooting at his glider? Thank God we have brave people who actually show up to protect this country, not hobbiests relating how scary it is to be in a glider as if it was the same as COMBAT.

@glitterbag,
The closest I ever came to getting involved in a shooting match was when I was stationed in Morocco, some horsemen rode toward our base in huge numbers with guns in hand. We thought they wanted to start a war, so we got our carbines, and got ready for the fight. However, they turned around and left, never to see them again.

@cicerone imposter,
Well, I wasn't military, so having a gun pointed at me made me weak in the knees. You don't know how you will feel until it happens. I was surprised how frightened I was, and the heat from a bullet was something that I never expected. On the other hand, I didn't think having all four impacted wisdom teeth removed in one fell swope would be such a big deal. I suppose I never prepare for the worst, I usually know it won't be good, I just don't expect it to be as horribly ungood it might actually be.

Ok once more are you still trying to claim that I ever supported grown men sleeping with underage girls?

Let me know one way or another so I can file a complain again you if needed.

@BillRM,
Bill you know he was talking about you comparing glider flights to actual combat. Let me know if you try to make snood the bad guy, I've already tipped off the moderators. But, if you are too much of a sissy to admit you are mixing oranges and apples, I'll be thrilled to forward your threads of shame of yu.

He 's trying to play that one thing like a violin, isn't he? I already admitted he didn't say that thing, and the last few posts on this thread were about something entirely different, but I guess he really feels like he's got some grounds for moral indignation now, so he's really trying to milk it. Kinda sad,

@glitterbag,
My my there is nothing special about risking death in combat compare to risking deaths in any other manners and for many other reasons.

A fireman for example who risk death by going into a burning building is just as brave as a soldier in combat.

One is risking death to take lives and one is risking death to save lives but they both are risking death.

Now there are many times when a person decided to risk death where there is no other person involved such as to check out a new aircraft or a car on a race track and so on.

So once more there is nothing special about risking death to take a life in combat compare to risking death for any other reason.

@BillRM,
Serving our country by being in the military (in theater of combat or not) is a singularly honorable act. Equating flying combat missions with doing just anything that is possibly life threatening implicitly denigrates that honor. That you don't get that will be a surprise to exactly no one.
