I’ve gotten so sick of the hype over this debate, I’ve decided to spend this evening continuing reading “Deadly Sky: The American Combat Airman in WWII” by John C. McManus. It covers the training and experiences of enlisted/NCOs and company/field grade officers who manned and flew Army Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps aircraft in all the theaters. No grand strategy or what the generals did, just focus’s on what it was like to fly day to day and life in between missions.

I watched Ollie North’s “War Stories” episode about American flyers in the RAF last night.

Truly honor bound men.

I didn’t realize that neither side would give them vets benefits after the war.

I’m also tired of the hype over this debate. I’m going to record it and if the FR thread says Trump did well or Hillary imploded, I’ll watch it.
