One of the most easy going and affable guys I remember flew F-4s in Vietnam.
Great statement. As a former enlisted aircrew member, even our USAF micromanagers were better and more laid back than the worst civvie Richard.....time and time again, the true Richards always, always were pure civvie......BUT, that doesn't mean the military was better....
