The Army Airborne major was used to harassment from AirForce fliers about crazy Army paratroopers jumping out of perfectly good aircraft. „Obviously the Air Force knows there’sno such thing as a ‚perfectly good aircraft,'“ the irritated officer finally countered one afternoon, „because they pay you bastards four times as much to stay in one as the Armypays its men to jump.““You’ve got it all wrong, Major,“ an Air Force sergeant replied. „The Army figures anyone stupid enough to jump out of an airplane voluntarily is gonna be too dumb to bitchabout the salary.“
