Champion  34263     Chicago |  Subject: Danged right he was an Air Force pilot!I knew when I saw that he eased that A320 down in the Hudson that he was an Air Force pilot. Air Force pilots like to make nice, soft landings. A Navy pilot would've gone all aircraft-carrier crazy and put that sucker in quick and hard, just like ... nevermind. And I love that they call him `Sully.' GO AIR FORCE! |

I agree with your point. Of course, I assume that your point was that the USMC is so proficient and self-policing, that we do not need a "Department" to control our every move. We have one person do that for us, he is called the "Commander In Chief" and we respond to his call. Edited by jdwright56 2009-01-16 11:17 AM |
