Have you ever heard of Able Archer ‘83?

I did not hear about it till long after I had retired, but I was in Germany from 80 to 84. Unfortunately for us, we were on the wrong side of the Rhine as well. It is scary. We did not have the proverbial clue what was going on.

It is amazing how little some here remember of the 1980s, when we were so forceful that we actually defeated the Soviets.
