#1 An absolute marvel of military engineering and technology. Too bad we haven't the sand to take similarly effective measures in today's battle with Islam. That one single mission may well have saved tens of thousands or more of Allied lives.

#2 During Gibson’s public relations tour of the United States a lady member of the audience asked him, at a time when the USAF “tour expired” milestone was 25 missions, how many combat operations he had flown over Germany. A stunned silence followed when Gibson answered one hundred and seventy four.

Truly, we stand on the shoulders of giants.
