or Pugs (heck, even ME!)
No, there's a difference between aggressive but competent bold and "Hold my beer and watch this" bold.
I have met Yeager, Deke Slayton, "Hoot" Gibson, John Young, Bob Crippen, Joe Engle, Mike Smith and several other famous pilots and astronauts. I have flown and worked with a host of combat pilots. All of them were bold in the sense of being willing to push the corners of the envelope to achieve an immediate and pressing result. None of them were in any way "bold" in the sense of wildness or insanity.
But that's far from the point of this thread. The point being: Load safe and you'll shoot often. Load crazy and you may shoot only once.
