What can I say? You don't get completely smashed in the USAAF.

I don't know why, but it reminds me of a short story that Major Winters (you know, from BoB) told in a History channel special about D-day. He siad that during the battle in Normandy, he once walked down a road, to find a Sherman outside a barn. He asked where the Tank officer were, and the driver said: "He's in there lt." and pointed into the barn. Winters walked in, only to discover the tank officer, a quite old man, calling on to a young french woman. When he heard Witners coming, he turned around, quite ashamed and suddenly asked:

"eeeh....Is my tank still outside?"

Lt. Winters lost it that day, he apparently became quite mad at that ol' british tanker.
