I admired too your story from the day at Lackland AFB. <br /><br />Curious: Did Chris Morgan Jones ever respond to your note about Mailer? Would be interesting to know his reply.<br /><br /><br />Art Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02409008167752619352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-2883904750060049932016-07-27T08:22:14.119-04:002016-07-27T08:22:14.119-04:00Really enjoyed this piece, David, and agree comple...Really enjoyed this piece, David, and agree completely with you on how tired and lazy is the depiction of the intelligence field. Duty and honor certainly does enter into it. I'm very happy for you that you got to spend some time with old compatriots in Texas, too.

We, as writers, often us dramatic license to make things more dramatic, but when they stretch veracity to the breaking point I think we go too far.<br /><br />And did you ever hear back from Chris Morgan Jones?<br /><br />P<br />Paul D.
