Mike,

You can get a version of it here: http://chairforce.com/images/desktop...p-backgrnd.jpg

Many thanks.

And a nice large version it is - with some sanitizing already. Not the grizzled sarge version, but the recipient of the cup (a nerd in a helmet, maybe ?).

From another whose favorite book on a war is T.R. Fehrenbach, This Kind of War (1964 paperback - new at 95 cents; bought used at 20 cents; held together by more tape than pages ).

Cheers

Mike

Nice illustration of how "5-11" changed everything. This is in Dawn, in Pakistan, very blunt analysis from Cyril Almeida: http://www.cyrilalmeida.com/2011/05/...cyril-almeida/

Omar:

A very good article that was with a wonderfully pithy description of the players in the game.

Soldiers and intelligence networks are more useful than an under-educated and impoverished population. Double-gamers and duplicitous allies at least have something to offer; what can the wretched Pakistani people offer myopic Americans?

Well, some things might have been, should have been, others could have been. There were also things that happened, but you had to be there. Your point of view at the time may have different from that of others who were also there. Scholarly reseachers should feel free to cite this message of mine as being the definitative account of what really went down there.

Either my memory is failing me, or he cleaned up nicely

you forgot you were the model - was that about 1943 ? - and with a retake in 2003.

With apologies to the rest of the serious threaders here.

I'll shut up now with a final comment that the jpg reduces down to 8.5 x 11 frame size at 300 dpi and prints out perfectly. Now ready for the office wall of stuff from the 30s and 40s.

Regards
