"They also serve, who only stand and wait."

I don't think the company clerk equals a squadron commander. I don't think
that a mess hall orderly equals a Navigator. I don't think the corporal of
the guard equals a wing commander. I don't think that the morale, VD and
entertainment officer equals a bombardier. Are they all important? Sure. But
some are easily and instantly replaceable others are not. And some go out
knowng they may never come back, and others are comfortable on the surety of
the safety they enjoy. Your mileage may vary.

I was thinking more of combat crew members. One BUFF crews get
sent to the UK to fly missions over Iraq. The other gets sent to
Guam to keep the North Koreans at bay. Need we distinguish
between their two levels of service? I say no.
