One my clients flew one of the very first bombers.
To hear his stories of his gunners, trying to light a cigarette, to frostbit fingers. Another client flew the next generation bomber.
At the moment they believed they were serving our country………………………
………………………………………………..
YES, that’s the Bitch … they ‘believed’ the propaganda as did so many others;~(
One of my Dear Ones / Tool Buddies (Brownie) was a Sub Commander who was Ordered to take his 4 Subs 100+ miles east of Pearl and sit there until further Orders …
This grown MAN still cried as he remembered the radio transmissions therefrom;~(
I have learned much from those I know and clients that served……………………………………………………
Observed nerve damage & other medical conditions of first client ^ (his only regret(s) when he lost gunners…) to when my Dad (Korea) to the man that ran up to my sister after she and my Dad had lunch, and said “Do you know that man?” she said yeah that’s my Dad, she said he looked white as a ghost and said “Tell him Thank you!, he saved my life” and left, to one of my now clients that lost his Uncle at Iwo Jima, his best friend that was with him was taken captive, when released came back and told his family……to my cousin that was killed in VN, to a friend that would never talk with anyone regarding VN, he did with me, and also cried. “Our” troops were sprayed with the AO, too (- I didn’t know that until he told me, I’m a bit younger) a Marine friend VN was shot across his Abdomen (by a child that looked to be 13 yrs. old) and didn’t stop shooting, he had to shoot to stop him. He probably only survived by taking his pain med “given” sticker off and getting more. After recovering “enough” was stationed in arid climes, tested teflon (If “I” remember order correctly) he said that shit was bad on so many levels, does NOT allow it in his house! I’ve been blessed knowing people born in the the late 1800’s and have heard their accounts of the times, when business’ (The town) was shut down for the kkk parade-to Carter”s Mom riding through town drunk on her motorcycle. Billy beer lol!
