Gunship Rescue/Quotes

Maxim 4: Close air support covereth a multitude of sins.
Commentary:
[...] Contextually, then, close air support is love.
Those same ancient texts say, at least in some places, that God is love.
[...] close air support is now God. [...]
Tagon's notes on margin:
3065.04.30 I've seen the face of god.
3065.05.06 That sounded clever, but if I'd actually
been clever then I would have asked God some questions
when his smiling face was raining death on my enemies.
But at the time it seemed pretty clever to keep my head down.
