Also, I'm proud that I got to serve my country. I did it of my own accord. I proudly went to Iraq... I wouldn't trade what I learned there for anything.. I wasn't saying that war and the Airlines were the same. as our fellow pilot pointed out, pilots are gone 4-7 days a week, I have been away for years.. I know how hard it is to be in a war zone half a world away.. I signed up for that just like i'm going to the airlines.. at least I'm still in the good ol USA!!
