...and this passage struck me as "interesting."
Furthermore, that was the way it turned out. At every level in one's profress up that staggeringly high pyramid, the world was once more divided into those men who had the right stuff to continue the climb and those who had to be left behind in the most obvious way. Some were eliminated in the course of the opening classroom work, as either not smart enough or not hardworking enough, and were left behind. then came the basic flight instruction, in single-engine, propeller-driven trainers, and a few more - even though the military tried to make this stage easy - were washed out and left behind. Then came the more demanding levels, one after the other, formation flying, instrument flying, jet training, all-weather flying, gunnery and at each level more were washed out and left behind. By this point, easily a third of the original candidates had been, indeed, eliminated from the ranks of those who might prove to have the right stuff.
Can someone please explain to me how a C-grade slacker could possibly pass through the rigors of military flight training and survive without killing himself much less earn his wings. Nothing in Bush's resume or his history indicates that he could walk and chew bubble gum at the same time.
This psychopath was no pilot and was pencil whipped through his training.
