US Nuclear Missile Force in Distress
WASHINGTON - The hundreds of nuclear missiles that have stood war-ready for decades in underground silos along remote stretches of America, silent and unseen, packed with almost unimaginable destructive power, are a force in distress, if not in decline. They are still a fearsome superpower symbol, primed to unleash nuclear hell on a moment's notice at any hour of any day, capable of obliterating people and places halfway around the globe if a president so orders.

Happy holidays!

Well said James!
Should we expect anything else with this administration? I pray we can survive their goal to tear down America from within, for that is the only way we can be defeated. Remember, throughout history we have never been attacked because we were too strong.
Took us several years to get Japan and took us 10 years to get Bin Laden but we did it. As long as that resolve to retaliate is not weakened hopefully it will serve as a deterrent. It was about 60 years between Pearl Harbor and 9 1 1. Hopefully it will be that long at least from 9 1 1 until someone has the courage to try it again and meet the same fate.
if your history is limited to the last 10 years or so, you are absolutely right. If not, shame on your ignorance.
Merry Christmas Johan! I'll let that one go.
