Following the American airstrike against Iranian targets in Syria, Ninth Air Force (Air Forces Central) Commander, Lt.-Gen. Gregory M. Guillot completed his first visit to Israel on Friday. Guillot was hosted by his Israeli counterpart, Commanding Officer of the Israeli Air Force, Maj.-Gen. Amikam Norkin. The scene reminds me of the Warsaw Pact general visiting Budapest, with the difference that the Russians were the hated occupying army of Hungary.
It is bad to lose one's independence and become part of a foreign power, but since Suez we know we are not truly independent. It is better this way.
P.S.: At ten, my dream was to have a WWII Army jacket, something like Guillot is wearing. When arrived as refugees in Vienna, the Americans distributed Army surplus and my uncle Gyuri got one.
