I wasn't a fighter pilot, but you
never had to remind those guys of this...
It was a little harder in the "Reagan-era" Navy to remind the Anti-Submarine Warfare folks of how serious we were, let alone the cooks...
Most sailors (and troops) in those days didn't believe how close things came to an all-out shooting (Nukes & all) war...
The only thing which encouraged me was how the "citizen-soldiers" responded and stepped up to defeat the Axis in WWII. I knew (and know now) that if it came to a shooting war our guys would step up and prevail...
