@"Ninurta" , sounds like the fellow who was aerial spotter for artillery with Patton's forces. He became ambitious and rigged bazookas to the wings of his aircraft. Reportedly took out some German vehicles that way.

I actually got the idea from Nicaragua. During the Sandinista war against Somoza, around 1977 and 1978, that's how they delivered aerial care packages to Sandinista camps. Some of the mercs on the Somoza side would hire out a Cessna on their day off and fly around delivering grenades for guerrillas special delivery out the window of the plane - minus the grenade pins, of course. There was an extra charge for pins, and they were sent separately. See, Somoza didn't really have a viable air force, so they made do.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
