==========================================
Airforce Colonel John Boyd has been at the center of a culture of hero worship and is often hailed as the "fighter pilot who changed the art of war", the genius behind Energy Maneuverability Theory, the OODA loop, and the design of both the F-15, and F-16.
The maverick of the Pentagon who, in a whirlwind of fire, tore at the plague of corruption, laziness, and incompetence that infested the vehicle procurement programs of the US Airforce.
It has been said that without him, the casualties of Operation desert storm could have been in the tens of thousands.
But is any of that actually true?
Are the claims of the reformers in their worship of Boyd, and of Boyd himself, an exaggeration? or potentially even a complete fabrication?
