...AFUS! Pride and tradition are the services' lifeblood-and this would be the death blow to each. The same uniform-bah! The same promotion list-phooey! Would our intrepid young flyers ever consent to this? Would you demolish the Halls of Montezuma? Would you assassinate Benny Havens? Would you desecrate the Navy Blue and Gold?
