So the Vietnam war ends....guess who had the most MIG kills? (6.5)
A GIB!!
The USAF pilot egomaniacs have a conniption fit!!!
Sooooooo....they had the eyeglasses-wearing Captain DeBellevue waived of 20-20 vision requirements, graduates pilot training...VOILA!
The TOP USAF MIG KILLER ACE is now a pilot!
DISGUSTING.
Because of weak USAF egos aircraft that fucking NEED a 2nd seat OBSERVER so ENEMIES are spotted/hit and....so the pilot is NOT task overloaded that they FLY INTO THE GROUND.
What should we do?
Have a 2nd seat observer on a SWIVELING EJECTION SEAT that can face AFT to safeguard against enemy MIGs to include operating rear-ward WEAPONRY be it Air-to-Air Missiles (AAMs) or lasers.
