I appreciate the info, Brian. Just wanted to clarify one thing I may have expressed poorly - the vet didn't say McCain fired the missile, he mentioned a 'wet-start' and (as far as I can recall) was implying that the rocket was set off accidently because of a "hot dogging" move, not as an intentional missile fire. It's clear to me that whatever did happen, this particular guy was deeply affected by the loss of his fellow servicemen, and I don't plan to bring the subject up again during our site tear-down tomorrow. -- Mugsy<http://www.macgeekofdogtown.com>"It's never too late to get a little older" - Robbie Kinter --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "StrataList-OT" group.
