My husband is a 25yr retired AF vet. He was no paper pusher, part of his career was making sure guns worked on gunships, part making sure bombs locked and loaded for pilots on the F-16. Even in leadership positions he made sure it got done. To give you some perspective /1 he was actually deployed to the same base Lutrell was finally able to return to. He lived and saw what that base was going through. Recently, even though retired, he was deployed and as always it's dangerous, he had to find out how fast he could run, and give 1st aide to /2
