Looking forward to it.

West Virginia PBS is also airing a "West Virginians Remember" that will feature WV Vietnam Veterans, including Author and A-6 Intruder Pilot Stephen Coonts, author of Flight of the Intruder.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.

It is obviously too soon for this kind of documentary to be accepted by the general populace. A period of time needs to pass to make the story palatable, particularly since our populace (particularly our vets) still have a lot of emotion tied into the conflict. This is said not to diminish their beliefs or minimize their opinion, but it is hard to be objective when the proverbial wound is still sore.
