I would think that would make the words just sort of slip out.

Nah, that's the Right side - you're just looking at it in reverse!

You can't trick me with that stuff. I been all over that side of the world and I know how all that stuff works. We use to fly R&R troops down to Sydney from Cam Rhan Bay on the C-130. Just before we got to New Guinea we would cross the equator and the pilot would claim he was just following the curvature of the earth, but I knew he was slowly turning the plane up-side down so the landing gear would be nearly on top where it could hit the runway at Sydney Airport. I know about other stuff too. We could land on Guam and load up supplies and food for the radar site on Johnston Atoll, then we would fly East and get to Johnston Atoll the day before we left Guam. Of course, it took us two days to get back to Guam. Hell of a lot of headwinds flying West in that part of the world.

Sounds like it could be a quote from Heinlein's "Starship Troopers".

You are correct. I just looked it up.

Internet Says:
The quotation "There are no dangerous weapons; there are only dangerous men" is from Robert A. Heinlein's 1959 science fiction novel, Starship Troopers.
This statement emphasizes the idea that weapons are tools and that the danger lies in the intent and character of the person wielding them. The novel explores themes of military service, citizenship, and social responsibility through the eyes of a young soldier in a future interstellar conflict.
