If this is how we treat our people who are 'the highest priority' I'd hate to see how we treat those at a middle level...
yah...remember Kadaffy’s “Line of Death”?? I was onboard Ike when we tested his notions of limits on free navigation against ours. We had airborne CAP overhead while we navigated the entire Libyan coastline 13 miles offshore. Kadaffy had ordered his Air Farce to “sink the Eisenhower” so we obliged by giving him every opportunity to try it.
We split out time on that cruise between Libya and Be-No Station off the coast of Beirut...
(It was called Be-No Station because there be no mail, be no fresh lettuce, be no milk, be no liberty, etc.....)
