Did I tell you how I organized and piloted a relief mission to bring penicilin, amoxycilin, and 1,000,000 MREs for the starving Children™ of Bosnia? I remember like it was yesterday. The tiny island nation of Bosnia was alone in its war against fascism. America had yet to enter the war, but the Children™ cried for help and something had to be done. Did I mention the Children™? So I also brought 10,000,000 condoms on a tip from Donna Shalala.
When we entered Bosnian airspace the sky was filled with the Serbian Luftwaffe intent on shooting down our humanitarian expedition. Sinbad manned the rear gun turret and Sheryl Crow... mmm... womanned the belly turret. The flak was very heavy in that dark, cold and rainy night. We could see the bright flashes and black oily smoke of the bursting shells. We had never flown a night mission before. It was hell!
Sheryl begged that we abort the mission but this was one abortion I could not support.
"We must press on!" I screamed into the intercom.
"What about lunch?" demanded Sinbad.
"Ask the nice Secret Service man, he has a bologna sandwich in his briefcase labeled The Football," I barked back at Sinbad.
Is it the Secret Service that carries The Football? Maybe it was that nice Coast Guard fellow.... I'm a little foggy on that detail.... Never mind, it's irrelevant.
Anyhow, I corkscrewed the C-47 down from eight miles high to evade the sniper ground fire. If anybody who has ever been on a snipe hunt, you know how difficult that can be.
I made a perfect four-point landing. The crew called me "Slick." I thought it was nice to be compared to that singer from The Jefferson Airplane.
We taxied to the terminal and were met by heavy artillery, RPG, small arms, large arms, some legs and feet, and a nice little girl with flowers.
The flowers were just beautiful.
I cried.
It was my finest hour.
Was the little girl with flowers the one that she rescued from the Aliens before defeating their queen in single combat?
I literally laughed out loud at that one.
I thought the tip would be from Joycelyn Elders
The Dukakis tank moment.
John F'in Kerry's bunny suit.
“The tiny island nation of Bosnia was alone in its war against fascism.”
That certainly was the official viewpoint of The Clinton Administration,
some at the Department of Defense, CNN, etc.
For a counter-view by a professor at the U.S. Naval War College,
this book should be consulted:
Unholy Terror: Bosnia, Al-Qa’ida, and the Rise of Global Jihad

LOL.
The story is; Bill got rid of Ron Brown with a bullet to the head in Bosnia. Hill maybe had reason to be worried about snipers?
And surely that bald kid with cancer who was going to die in a week without the medicines was there too at the airport,
waiting to greet Hillary as she dashed through the sniper fire to give the bald kid the medicine he needed on that cold and frosty ... or was that “Day After tomorrow”? when she saved the world from Global warming? I forget. So many missions, so little time ...
“There I was at 20,000 feet, MiGs to the left of me, Messerschmidts to the right, and Fokkers everywhere. Or maybe it was the Democratic National Committee. Same thing.”
All while BJ was getting a BJ...
No wonder this is seared.... SEARED!!! into her memory.
Having been in the USAF, I can tell you that more than one conversation starts with, “Well, there I was a 20,000 feet, when suddenly....”
I used to go to the Rhein Main officer’s club to watch the USAF officers in action.
These guys, C-141 pilots and C-5 pilots (no fighters on this base) would stand at the bar at 8pm in fresh flight suits, perfoming the obligatory “dogfighting hands” motion to show the other pilots (and local nurses) how they managed to gain “lead pursuit” on other cargo pilots.
Friggin’ hilarious.
Hey, YOU try throwing a fully loaded C-5A into an Immelman Turn without spilling your coffee. Then you can laugh, buddy boy.
</VBG>
I guess it goes to show rank has its privileges, just like John Hanoi Kerry (who said he served in Viet Nam).
Yup, I just can't stand those fokkers in the Democratic National Committee ...
Mothra Fokkers.
