17. Exactly, "what kind of plane" you flew. This is also a key to the militia gunnuts: They're civilians

with a fantasy version of gunslinging. Yeah, most of us vets didn't have the glamor, but I'll bet you and I saw a couple of things we'll never forget. And that we can't get some non-vets to understand.

Several years ago when Meredith VIERA was still on The View, one of the "hot topics" was with a guest Army Ranger, and the flap discussed was how the change of uniforms would give the berets to all personnel and the Rangers were het up over their symbol for themselves. Meredith went through the motions of hearing out the sides, then brushed it off saying, "All this over hats!1" And she moved right along, and the Ranger could be heard stifling his exasperation at not being able to get across to the civilian.

As for the PALINs, it's really Mc5planes that bugs me, every time he's in front of his beloved cameras crapping on ANYTHING the President does or doesn't do, and telling the cameras HE knows what to do: Uh, yeah, like he did a heck of a job of having Grifter vetted. Also, "William" Billy KRISTOL, who was the biggest booster when she was being floated.
