As you can see from my tag, I was at the Zoo when BG Olds was the Commandant. They brought him there because he was a warrior, but made him shave off his mustache so we wouldn’t get any radical ideas about individuality. He only lasted about a year and a half before he was invited to retire… Warriors don’t tend to do corporate well.

Yes, Olds is the guy from “Dogfights” on the History Channel.

He was the Viet Nam pilot, yes? I remember seeing him on the “Dogfight” program on the Military Channel. A very strategic pilot. Kind of like Roy Boehm, only a pilot, instead of SEAL.
