Hours upon hours in imagination. Winning wars of one's own invent. Von Richthofen in the '60s.
Hundreds of kills under harrowing circumstances. Yet also the realist mundanity of to-and-from the battle zone.
Grandiosity: childhood compensation for the myopia which kept him from actual service. Where the North Vietnamese and the Soviet commies dodged any number of real-life bullets.
