...[Col Black] retired twenty years ago limiting his knowedge base. What he is spouting is his beliefs and people’s beliefs often are not based on factual information..but then I woud not expect you to understand that.

Well, you got a two-fer with that, 1) you don't know what you are talking about and are blowing smoke, and 2) you have an unearned attitude.

To go from a 19 year old USMC PFC to a multi-decorated combat aviator 3 years later who once inserted himself into a desperate hot zone to direct air relief speaks volumes to those who really understand. Col Black is exactly the opposite of a perfumed prince and more.

He continued his career serving as a top JAG officer and the comments he offers here as an expert witness, which you belittle and discount, are based precisely on that expertise.

One wonders, although very briefly, just what credentials you offer in opposition.

People like you seem to believe that what someone did 20 to 50 years ago grants him some sort of wisdom. That is not the case. What you have is wiss-dumb not wisdom.
