Now along comes some sorry a$$ loser who has paid no dues or doesn't give a $hit about others and agrees to cross a picket line and take a man's job for a few less dollars. Please keep in mind, this is a legal strike. Now you come along advocating that we take a deep breath to visit and share our feelings with this moron. That defines manhood to you? A wingman my friend is there to check your six and offer suport - and doesn't suggest having brunch with the enemy. I have flown wing on hundreds of missions and never did it cross my mind to leave them vulnerable and go do my own thing - It's called trust and integrity! This issue is exactly about leaving your wingman contrary to your post. And by the way, it is my Navy!
I worked hard defending this country and left proud of my service. Never once did it occur to me, nor will it ever, to write Jane Fonda a fan letter explaining why I feel so bad about what she did and how much more of a man I feel I've become because I am able to share my feelings with her. Having nothing to believe in and standing up for nothing is what makes you a "booger eatin moron" as you so professionally put it. BTW, Jane's new movie will be in theaters soon. As I know you will be there opening night, don't save me a seat - I'll be home working on my manhood!

flight 25, would you care to share your background in "my Navy" and perhaps what you are doing today? I think it would be informative for our forum participants to get some idea of where you are coming from.
