Tom Kratman (born September 4, 1956) is an American science fiction author.

Claims by anonymous people on the Internet that they're ex-military, engineers, pilots or anything probably shouldn't be reported as facts. They might be telling the truth, or not, but unless they use their real names there's really no way we can know.

The take thats could stand to go elsewhere. TVT isn't for riding personal hobbyhorses. Also, not only is "see other page" bad troping, there's a difference between "getting it wrong" and "disagreeing with doctrine"... which that entire trope page has issues with, come to think of it.
