[Milsurplus] Common sense- Pappy's stories

[gl4d21a at juno.com]

Hey, c'mon guys, consider:

First, it was World War 2.  Now a comfortable history story for many, but a frightening memory for those who were there.  I was just a few years too young, but I still remember relatives who never came home.  In any event, the goal was to kill the enemy whenever they were spotted.  It was not a game.

Now, specifics:  Case A: Boyington flies near or over a Japanese fighter base.  Reaction, Japanese fighters come up to engage.

Case B:  Boyington flies over or near a Japanese fighter base, and challenges them over the radio.  His pilots will hear it, and the stories evolve.  Do the Japanese actually hear it?  Does not matter.  Reaction, Japanese fighters come up to engage.

Cause and effect?  You decide.
