Quote: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.
