BTW, I'm waiting for someone to give us no-shit evidence that the Reich is still operating a base in Neu Schwabenland.
They only stretched me so far. Over my whole career I got tapped for only one OP out of Europe ... and I never even heard of Neu Schwabenland before today - LOL.
TOW missiles are no joke. Coolest (destructive) thing I ever saw was a company of MPs light up a ridge line with 40mm HE from their automatic grenade launchers. Indirect fires and air delivered ordnance is badass, but you've got to be quite a ways back or keep your head down during the show.
How'd they say it back in your day? In mine was, "It's all for the 20."
Ain't tellin' about the other event until Sky shares us a war story.

Says he doesn't get to see much and no idea what is in the cargo containers either. Also says, "I'm just a pilot and don't ask questions and very much want my second pension."
See? That's what I'm talkin' about. You've got a guy on-the-job that's there to get paid. Nothing else matters and it can cost you if you start nosing around where you're not supposed to be.
As for Lazar ... The guy's been under scrutiny for so long it's hard for me to tell whether he's just saying what it takes to blow somebody off ... or he doesn't want to answer ... or he doesn't have a clue. What caused me to stop listening to him was his description of how he got hired and how he was received when he showed up. I'm sorry ... it just doesn't happen the way he described it.
Wife's calling me to eat and I'm gonna watch that vid when I get back.
Peace.
