In your hands you hold the seeds of failure - or the potential for greatness.
Luck is a woman. She's drawn to those that least deserve her.
Fearlessness is a fool's boast, to my mind. The only men with no fear in them are dead, or the soon to be dead, maybe. Fear teaches you caution, and respect for your enemy, and to avoid sharp edges used in anger. All good things in their place, believe me. Fear can bring you out alive, and that's the very best anyone can hope for from any fight. Every man who's worth a damn feels fear. It's the use you make of it that counts.

There are few men with more blood on their hands than me. None, that I know of. The Bloody-Nine they call me, my enemies, and there’s a lot of ’em. Always more enemies, and fewer friends. Blood gets you nothing but more blood. It follows me now, always, like my shadow, and like my shadow I can never be free of it. I should never be free of it. I’ve earned it. I’ve deserved it. I’ve sought it out. Such is my punishment.
The fool strikes. The wise man smiles, and watches, and learns. Then strikes.
The wise wait for their moment, but never let it pass.

That's unbelievable. I mean, Ukraine is the geopolitical heartland of Russian concern, quite aside from historical connections, population and so on.
If you aren't getting flak, you aren't over the target.
I know that some people think differently about pilots, but I really enjoyed shooting Awakening.
Because every time someone finds a new animal, or a new amazing thing on earth, it means we haven't broken everything yet.
