Elizabeth "Betty Wall" Strohfus was an Awesome People™.

Quote:
One day, while training gunners in ground emplacements, Strohfus flew up from the south and recognized a unique opportunity. Just missing the roof of the hangar, she opened the prop pitch on the AT-6 to generate an almighty roar, causing all the men below to hit the deck.

Four hours later, Strohfus landed the plane to refuel. An angry sergeant confronted her as she climbed out onto the wing, demanding to know which enterprising pilot had buzzed his men.

Roberts detailed the brief back-and-forth between the two.

“Well, I’m your pilot, sir,” she said.

“I’m going to report you,” he replied.

“Well, what did I do?”

“You scared the hell out of my boys!”

Strohfus responded with a question.

“Where are your boys going?”

“They’re going to combat and I want them to live to get there.”

“Well, sir, I want them to live to get home.”

He had to say that because the other two in the newsroom might knife him.
But seriously folks, try the Veal.
I liked what he said, but I'm not sure about his solution?
