Taking out a city block because we were taking fire from somewhere down there.
First we all know , that at least 10 percent of any group will have different views from the rest. Having said that,this was a stupid line you put in your post.
Without this line you might have pasted your post off as truth.
Understand, I hate almost everything you stand for,and without having been introduced to you I dislike you.
But know this. If I knew you as much as I do now,and I was in an a-4, and you asked for help because you and your men were pinned down and taking fire from somewhere down there.....
I would do everything in my power to remove said fire.If possible ,I would stay around to make sure. If I was out of ammo I would do dry runs to keep their heads down so you and your men could escape. You are an American first and a jerk second.
I can not believe a trained a4 pilot would say the above words. Some of the others yes but not those. Character ....you either have it or you dont. Your friend would have washed out long before he finished training with that attitude.
So some one is very likely being dishonest .... you or him.
