I especially like his response to this one:

“As those of us who have done it know, every time you climb into a military aircraft you run the VERY REAL possibility of getting killed—try it sometime if you don’t believe me. The aircraft doesn’t care if you are Air National Guard or not—in fact those old birds are more likely to crash than active-duty jets.”

Good point. And that incoming fire from the Vietcong over the Oklahoma border back in ’69 was something fierce, too.
