....That while we would like to believe we are like the image below, and that we're really doing something important and putting our lives on the line for something that matters.....
BTW this guy went down twice to flak. Escaped from POW camp, stole a motorcyle and rode it to safety across the Remagan Bridge. Forget Steve McQueen, he did it for real

We are in fact like the image below, and just a cartoon caricature of something from a long time ago. As long as we remember we're like the cartoon and act as such, the game is what it is, just a game for fun. This image from the logbook of a Spit driver who in 3 years of combat flying, was shot down and walked out through Spain, bailed out and rescued from the English Channel and finally down to be a POW due to mechanical failure. It was serious for him, but even his cartoon pilot kept a smile on his face and was only in his imagination
