re: Normandy vet sings "Blood on the Risers/Paratrooper thread. Any jumpers?

I think it's a personal thing more than the subject matter. They just don't like me. And the inevitable prose or poetry that will arise, I guess.

I don't care. These stories are awesome. Especially those early parachutes.

And then last night I was reading how usually, the fighters would refuse to shoot parachuting men in the air. Apparently it was a big faux pas in war.
