DKW 86 7,365 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 So let me get this correct. our options are: 1) Let a crazy man start a nuclear war? 2) Or placate the crazy man until he is out of office and let the good guys on the other side, men you have a personal relationship with over the decades, know that we realize the situation and take actions to possibly save Millions or Billions of people that may save the planet. In case you dont know, there was always a test and even chatter about when the time comes, will you fire those missiles? That is why the missile techs and the officers are trained over and over and over. In the Navy, and i know in the AF, there were some that were at those controls that wondered aloud about what if they and their enemy counterparts just didnt shoot the missiles? What would happen? The next day everyone wakes up, reads the papers and thanks God there is a next day. While there are those like Slim Pickens in Dr Strangelove, there are also some that would take the trip to Folsom and know that they may have saved millions of lives. So, Milley taking the actions that he may have, I have no way of verifying what he did, been one of the most noblest acts by anyone. It would also explain why no one whether active or retired is really raising hell about the apparent breach of Constitutional Control of the nukes. These are questions that people on long cruises in Boomer Subs ask themselves. That people at the bottom of an ICBM Tube ask themselves. Want to see it act for real? A while back, when the Russians finally figured that we were actually going to launch missiles, they sent their sub fleet to hide under the ice. It changed the way the USN viewed their counterparts. They didnt want war either. Military People dont want to die. We are not Rambo. They want what you want. A nice neighborhood, nice school for the kids, a good job, some occasional trips with the wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there were no evidence the *or* statement doesn’t have credence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
