Code Name: Wild Weasel Anti-Tank Pilot File Name: CLASSIFIED SN: 817-76-981 Primary Military Specialty: Ground Support Pilot Secondary Military Specialty: Artillery Specialist Birthplace: CLASSIFIED Grade: 0-3 equivalent -------------------- Wild Weasel cut his teeth in the bush wars of South America and Africa during the last decade. His knowledge of close support aircraft ranges from jury-rigged civilian conversions to ultra state-of-the-art flying weapons platforms. A mouth injury inflicted during a strafing run is rumored to be the cause of the characteristic sibilance in his speech pattern. Wild Weasel can trace his aviation lineage back to World War I era barnstormers. Along with this history goes a great deal of personal honor; with the exception of possibly Destro, Wild Weasel is the Cobra that most Joes grudgingly admit to respecting the most. He will pull out the most underhanded, dirty tricks in the book to win a dogfight, but once the battle is over, Wild Weasel believes in giving his enemies a chance to bury their dead. Some may wonder why Wild Weasel remains with Cobra. The answer is simple: they give him a wider license when equipping his aircraft and when engaging his enemy in an aerial chess match than a conventional military organization would. That, and the pay's better. -------------------- Submitted by: Hardy,William S. "He may be a back-shootin', low down snake in the grass, but the boy can fly like nobody's business. You gotta respect the skunk for that! Hey&endash;&endash;what did Voltaire say? 'To forgive our enemies their virtues&endash;&endash;that is the greater miracle.' " |
