“As a child, full of naive questions, I asked my WW2 vet grandfather what it's like to fly in combat. He told me to watch the Dam Busters (1955).
Later I saw it on AMC (or was it TMC?). A historian provided commentary before and after the film. He also said it was the most authentic portrayal of WW2 aerial combat. When asked to elaborate he said it was because it showed the extreme professionalism of the pilots. Nobody shouted, or screamed, or panicked, or made witty quips. They were 100% focused on the mission.
That's how I picture him landing on that runway in Burma. Calm and professional.
Maybe because of it's authenticity, George Lucas lifted the dam attack scene almost wholesale for the Death Star attack in Star Wars.”

Sounds about right.
You wouldn’t believe the lengths that studies go to try to hide this. Trying to obscure it in all kinds of ways.
— But maybe it’s because women have children and men don’t, right?

Nope.
Nearly everything the TV and reddit tells you is a lie.
