We flew in air conditioned comfort. Wars are won by guys with rifles. The kid with a CIB is the King of the World, in my book.

Dismounted patrol? That takes real stones. I drove airplanes. Not *even* in the same league.

I dunno about that. If something goes wrong for a pilot, it can get pretty hairy. Lost an uncle I never met - a Thud driver - who decided he didn’t fancy his chances as a rifleman.
