Well, you aren't *exactly* claiming it. You described the terror of
being under incoming artillery without explaining that you'd never
actually been under any. Perhaps you should have ended that now famous
paragraph with "...or so I've been told".

Come to think of it, that spiffy illustration sort of parallels your
amateur radio experience, doesn't it?

How many minutes flying time were you from death by Soviet Bears were
you?
