This reminds of the british not allowing there pilots to use parachutes in the First World war as it "may impair the fighting spirit of pilots and cause them to abandon machines which might otherwise be capable of returning to base for repair."

A Pilot Major Mick Mannock once said he carried a revolver "to finish myself as soon as I see the first signs of flames."

Makes you wonder the logic of the people who lead the armed forces back then!

Yeah wan't he one of the top British aces? He had a real fear of crashing on fire... and that's exactly how he died. Apparently he didn't fire his pistol though.

Yeah he was known as the ace of aces of the British Empire credited with 47 kills. Its believed he may have attempted to bail out of his aircraft before he hit the ground but without a parachute his revolver may have been the better option

well no-one doubts that Bush is an asshole, just as much as Stalin is. so your statement is redundant.

How is that statement redundant? I thought it was a humorous comparison.

And out of curiosity, how did you come to choose your username and avatar?
