Henry McAllan
You better get a hurry along. We ain't gonna make it. [mopping his brow] Oh, we will. We have to. [sighs] Take a break. Come on. My turn.
Jamie McAllan
"We will. We have to." [narrating] That was my brother, Henry. Absolutely certain whatever he wanted to happen would.
Jamie McAllan
You ever miss it sometimes? Being over there. I don't mean being shot at, but sometimes, I actually miss it.
Ronsel Jackson
Yeah, me, too. Over there, I was a liberator. People lined up in the streets waiting for us. Throwing flowers and cheering. And here I'm just another **** pushing a plow.
Jamie McAllan
You tanker boys ever piss in your helmets?
Ronsel Jackson
Plenty of times.
Jamie McAllan
We had a relief tube up in the cockpit. Sometimes it was easier just to go in our flak helmets. But at 20,000 feet that piss freezes solid in less than a minute. It's that cold up there. Shit. I'm talking 20, 30 below. One time we were on this long haul, I pissed in my helmet, I forgot all about it. We were just over the target. I put the helmet back on. We're doing this bombing run, dodgin' enemy flak, and all of a sudden I started feelin' something runnin' down my face.
Ronsel Jackson
Jamie McAllan
Yeah, I thought I was hit.
[both laugh]
Ronsel Jackson
So, what about you? What's the worst thing you ever done?
Jamie McAllan
Who, me? I'm a saint.
Ronsel Jackson
I bet. I bet.
