This was returned for too many hops!
Haven't had even one beer since the Doc put me on the wagon two years

As a veteran of far too many wars I greatly appreciate
The story that Chris has told us. Accidental military air crashes have
been responsible for more casualties than those from operational
missions. My squadron lost more men and planes in the six months
following the Japanese surrender than during the previous nine months
of
action.
But lets not forget that all these tragic losses are infinitesimal in
comparison to the mayhem we caused on the ground.
There may be mixed opinions on the use of the atom bombs to end WWII,
but who remembers the fire bombing of Tokyo by 1200 B-29's, each
carrying 20 tons of napalm. That raid killed more than the two A bombs
combined but not enough to end the war!
All the worlds artillery should come with a Zuiko label
( and I don't mean gunsights!).
