I hate dropping ML less than 2 weeks out. He cut me off and said “Thanks for what you’re doing, don’t think another thing about it, we’ve got it covered here, be safe and we’ll be here when you’re done with these missions”.
The only correct response from the CP. And I'm a tree hugger.
edit to add: if the mission was bombing some other country to secure our oil supply my answer would be the same, as it's not up to the guys in the cockpit to choose the mission.
