    Do you want them to? You mean like the bullets of the People's Liberation Army and the 100 million dead Chinese? Nah, the people's blood was enough 'paint'.

    No.

    I'm sure the crew are well aware, that their task is to splatter their target, with the blood of their mortal enemies.

    Or do you know why that particular colour was chosen to illuminate the instrument panel?

    I would have thought bright red would be used sparingly, only for immediate attention of something.

    There are some opinions here:

    The E-7 is based on a B-737, which is an even more antiquated airframe...

    Thank you for clarifying your opinion.

    Disclosure of your "facts", to the court, would assist us all to confirm or adjust our opinions and decide if the accused is guilty the charge of spreading falsehoods, or not.

    No restrictions are imposed on the TD jury by any arbitrarily chosen gatekeeper, Including KW.

    This court is in session.

    The court awaits the honourable member, Switch's, factual submissions with barely containable anticipation.
