Me, nah. My late uncle was an USAF A-1 Skyraider pilot based in

Well, I guess that makes you an expert.

90% of the tech/science "news" out there today--including the garbage that
you managed to string together--is written by liberal arts majors
(journalism, mainly) who have no technical ability to filter out the BS from
the facts. There are so many errors and opinions in there, it's not even
worth the time to list them.

Hey, you guys. Ease up on the liberal arts majors. When I found out
that a chemistry major was totally uninteresting to me, I redirected
into Political Science and despite that BS and a couple of MSs, I
still do OK with regard to tactical airplanes.

That's because you've BTDT. Tends to provide one with a leg up. Most
journalism types barely even deign to approach actual operators when
covering subjects that are directly relevant, and most military types
that aren't specifically ordered to do so are reluctant to be open
(let alone friendly) with ol' Scoop wandering around toting a notepad
and a FOIA order.

Ed,

Ditto. I didn't even bother with anything but a Poli Sci major. The Navy didn't care as much about one's major as whether one had the aptitude for flight training and commissioned service, and later demonstrated that aptitude.

A classmate of mine and fellow Poli Sci major, Dana McKinney, retired as an O-8. One of his last assignments was as the Flag Officer in charge of activities at Naval Air Weapons Station - China Lake.

The campus I'm on has a lot more Morlocks than Eloi.

Reminds me of the old story about the base commander ordering a
"palette of nurses" delivered by C-130. He got two.

Winner of the Christmas drawing in the stag bar got a date with the
nurse of his choice. Second place got a date with two nurses.
