On the of which theater: I don't know my aircraft choises limit me a little P-38, F-4U, B-25. The ugly fact that no one had any choices in the matter is there too. The ETO was the safest from the stand point that it was best to be a POW than swim with the sharks and a lot of pilots that served in both the PTO and the ETO thought the PTO was hardest and the foe was better (a grain of salt here, most of those fought in the PTO first and fought the best Japenese and the worst Germans) and last the base conditions were much better in the ETO.

Of course no fighter pilot ever thought anything bad could happen to him/her! Probably the ETO.

No problem wmaxt, that is what this forum is about. RG_Lunatic I do understand what you are saying and again like I said before you are not wrong. I just see things differently. As for the editing my own posts, ofcourse I know that I am not stupid, I just did not catch it before I hit submit. LOL

No there is a way to edit after posting it - if you view your post, you will see the buttons "quote" and "EDIT", among a couple of other things. Click that to edit it

Ummm... i don't understand, you can just then hit the "edit" button and fix it.

Please don't take this as me saying your "stupid". It's easy to miss features of this kind of forum, the "edit" button only appears next to the "quote" button of your own posts. I used to run a couple of phpBB's, so I'm very familiar with it's formats.

Edit: Ooops I see someone has already directed you to the edit button

<--- note to self: read all posts in thread before replying.

I think everyone does that, but sometimes when ypuread a post you get outraged by it or you want to be the first to answer a question, so naturally you stop reading on and reply to the post that you are interested in in the first place.

Yeah I do that sometimes, just answer to one that I am reading without quoting or replying to that post and then I realize that there were like 20 more posts after that.

You can also "fake" quotes, example:
