"By God, it sounded crazy when you first mentioned it, " he said, "but I think you can do it. I'll go to bat for you and help you get things lined up. It certainly would give the country a life." The Lieutenant Colonel leaned back in his chair and smiled with relief. Then he grinned from ear to ear when the General wagged a finger at him and warned: "But listen here, damn you: as soon as you DO bomb Tokyo you get the hell back here to Washington and go to work!"
