Well, Jack, while that line of thought holds up well in theory, I know one B2 pilot that has told me and the fencepost that the day he gets an order to loose a JDAM on civilians on US soil is the day the Air Force finds a nice bomber swimming in the gulf of Mexico. Maybe he figures he can get a job parking cars in Belize, or that he might look to join the targeted. While it is plausable that he is the exception, and not the rule, I kinda' doubt it. NATO troops might be a different story-who knows?
If and when the levee breaks, so to speak, put me in the catagory of well armed, if you don't mind. Actually, even if you do mind. I'll take my chances there, thank you.
Anyway, someone out there has written the book describing people in one of three catagories-wolves, sheep, and sheepdogs. It is a work on self defense, of course, and I haven't had time to read the whole thing, but I'm 'gonna, real soon.
Because, looking at the posts on this board, the guy is absolutely, dead on, correct. You can figure out which ones are which in just a sentence of internet blather.
As to Zumbro, a boss several workplaces ago summed it up quite nicely. One "Aw, Rats!" can undo a surprising quantity of well deserved "atta boys'!!"
Aw Rats, Mr. Zumbro.
Gotta go do some reading now.
Best,
Ted
