Where's the outrage? The indignation?

Yep. The P-3 (turboprop) was intercepted over international waters by a Chinese jet, and the Chinese claimed that the P-3 rammed the fighter. The P-3 landed on a Chinese Airbase (Closest landing spot to the accident), and was held 'hostage' for over 3 weeks. The story is here. Of course...going to war with China over that incident actually would've been justified, but nobody wants a war with China. I remember you making light of the situation then, too, Squiggy, but, being a former jarhead, I wouldn't expect anything more substantial from you on the subject, anyway. :p
 
You have a rather strange memory, Gato. A short while back you were claiming I stated positions that would have been totally alien to me and now you remember me making light of this when it happened. Problem is, This event happened in April, 2001. Long before 'Squiggy' was an online entity...I never even knew about OTC (or any of its sister sights) till the day I registered here in September 2002. I don't have a clue where or why you've developed this penchant to defame me with your ailing memory. But I wish it would stop. :p

Sorry, Squiggy. I mistook you for someone else. :hug:
 
:wave: I probably made fun of it. I find it amusing when we get caught doing what we denounce others for doing. I don't know, I guess I just see it as Ironic. But then I'm not a Jarhead nor a Flyboy either.
 
Not a problem, Gato. Just wasn't sure where it was heading.

I see the humorous side of those things too, PT. And i don't for a minute blindly accept that we were in international air space. I was in the airwing in the Marines and I was the only one in avionics with clearence to handle the spy cams on our OV10s. I'm not ignorant to our operations in surveilence.

"We can say we know our aircraft was in international waters, so there was no reason to think that,"

rather strange way to state that. Innit?
