and pressing a button to vaporize a plane takes a lot of skill?

I am referring to the fact that war is no longer working with the great numbers that we were in the past.

And if you think that just pushing a button to shoot down a plane is all the skill you need, you must think that you could drive an f1 car as well as Any seasoned professional driver

try it, and then come back and tell me about your experience if you feel the same way after.

I pushed a button once, until I took a sidewinder to the knee...
