You got that right V.G. It's not even the country that for some 4 years (late ''50s and early '60s) at least 12-15 days a month, I set in an ALERT barracks just waiting for the horn that would get me into that B-47 all loaded with Thermo-Nukes and for which we SAC aircrew were tested day after day to ensure we were up to 100% ready to go. I was either on Alert at home base (Hunter AFB), Morroco, or Spain. Many others were sitting all around the globe. Now, American fighting men are sent every day into a fight that they cannot win because of horribly stupid political laws that only ensure that our young volunteers are not allowed to win, just die or be crippled for the remainder of their lives.
Yes, we are on the
downward slopes which are carrying us to the
CLIFF's edge.
