Yes, reminds me of the line used in the film "Apocolypse Now (sp)" where Col Kertz says young men are expected to die in battle for their Country, but cant write the word fu** on their equiptment.
Our squadron symbol was a Vietnamise demon named Olof. The gooks (gooks:defintion of the bad guys who killed our fathers, brothers, uncles, friends and neighbors... NOT the definiton of all Vietnamise, so dont flip out and start riding my rear about being PC) were so supersticious, and almost dropped a load in their black pajamas every time they saw one of our helicopters coming in hot laying down an impressive wall of fire with Olof looking down on them the whole time. Now days that would be "looked down" upon by outsiders.
Too many hands in the cookie jar I say.
