I used to work with a guy who insisted that he was an active military adviser to General William Westmoreland. He referred to him as "Westy". "Westy" called him often for his opinion on various military matters. One Monday morning he insisted that "Westy" had contacted him to chopper into Vietnam over the weekend and rescue some unfortunate cuss that was being held captive. Of course, he got the fellow out and left no survivors behind, and made it into work on time to boot. Without even messing up his hair. "Westy" got him clearance to fly along with the fighter test pilots. They had to fly fully armed, but they had to tape over the muzzles so the brass could tell they hadn't played with the guns. Occasionally they couldn't resist and would make a strafing run down the middle of the Mississippi River. He said the police all over the nation would contact him when they had a hostage holed up in a building. He'd bring out his 50 caliber tripod mounted machine gun and strafe the building about a foot below the level of the ceiling. That always brought the villains out with their hands in the air. This guy had never been in the military, and none of his feats ever made the news. I think our bosses were actually afraid of him - I used to tell my other co-workers that he was our proof of job security. He did have an impressive display of weaponry, some of which he brought down from the attic to show me. And one spare bedroom was stacked to the ceiling with supposedly full ammo cans. I looked at him as a ticking time bomb, but he lived til he died without hurting anyone, well, except in his vivid imagination.

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor - by Anthony West. The Nuffield tractor story started in early 1945.
