   @john_rando @Paultron @marlin Keep in mind all our combat pilots are STILL pumped from desert storm, they’ll wax nostalgic about how badass they are for “evading” those anti air defenses and “bombing the FUCK outta SADDAM” (i.e. children, civilian shelters). They have a real attitude that if they were the ones on the stick then the russkies wouldn’t be half as deadly in the face of their considerable skill.

   Some of them ARE pretty skilled, at least, you paid every cent of tax in your life just to train these guys at one exercise, course, and school after another. They carry decades of dogfighting know-how….in theory. That’s why they’re just raring at the chance to put it into motion.

   For most, they lived in the shadow of WWII aces all their life. Boomers were told they’d have their own great war someday, a chance to prove they’re the same stock of man their grandfather was….but that day never came. Now they see a chance and just want to make it happen before they shuffle out for good
