A big part of me wishes I had been in during the Cold War. <br /><br />I know the French have caused problems before, but they have been involved in the latest round against Libya, thankfully. They have seemingly decided to do the right thing.The Navy Christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15116964729906856912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9219411120276420163.post-1680367661159932172011-04-01T20:40:45.279-04:002011-04-01T20:40:45.279-04:00Dan,

Operation El Dorado as I remember, I pretty sure they flew off the Saratoga (CV60). Also Air Force from England, which France wouldn't let use their airspace. <br /><br />Cursed Frenchies. Wasn't it Patton who said, "I'd rather have two German divisions in front of me, than one French division behind me."? <br /><br /><br />I also planed attacks on Libya as a boy. Marines invaded through the Gulf of Sidra while Army forces came in through Chad. Haha. We ARE alike. Luckily for us all, I was never involved in aggressive negotiations, being a Bubblehead on a boomer, nobody wanted us involved!<br /><br />I did own a t-shirt that said, "24 empty tubes. A mushroom cloud. It's Miller time!" Ahhh...the good old days of the cold war.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05587398711616550858noreply@blogger.com
