“...knock down the tower, raze the buildings...”
Wait... was the assumption that a war in Europe would be lost? How can you fight a successful campaign if you’ve just destroyed your own means of fighting?
I'm guessing Antidisestablishment was in a forward air base. In case the war went hot, all of Germany was a buffer zone, and NATO would have been lucky at that.
Not quite. The assumption is that the Rooskis would try to do to our forward bases what we did to the airstrip the Japanese so thoughtfully built for us on Okinawa.
We still had plenty of bases not quite so Spetznaz accessible.
