The likelihood of either the airman or any members of his family reading this thread is passing remote and, in that unlikely event, I’m quite sure they’d let us know if they found any part of this thread offensive or disturbing, jessmo24.

No harm in showing respect but let’s keep a sense of proportion, shall we?

What a defeatist attitude!

Does anyone else on this forum find Dr strangeloves signature comment offensive?

It’s a quote from the film ‘Dr Strangelove‘ and, no, no-one’s complained about it.

And let’s have no more speculation about the meaning of acronyms, lest I remember that this isn’t an adults-only forum.

In the Star Trek fictional universe, assimilation is the process by which the Borg integrate beings and cultures into their collective. “You will be assimilated” is one of the few on-screen phrases employed by the Borg when communicating with other species. The Borg are portrayed as having encountered and assimilated thousands of species and billions to trillions of individual life-forms throughout the galaxy.

Well, thanks for sharing that. 😎
