Dude, your rants are wrong. This forum section is to talk about military issues and this thread is about a buddy of ours who died while doing his best to keep the folks on the ground a little safer. Sonny lost his life doing just that, he was at the tip of the sword of our nation’s defense. I’m sorry you lost your first flight instructor, but we are talking about the men and women (USAF, Navy Mariners and Army) who each day go across the fence, some of them don’t make it back. I bet your instructor wasn’t in the same situation. You sir need to show a little respect to the people in this forum and the rest of us in the uniform. You're are obviously not military, so for the good of everyone can you just leave.
