He wrote one of my favorite lines in all scifi in “Footfall” in reference to the invaders: “Nuke ‘em til they glow and then shoot ‘em in the dark.”
Which would be a good policy against antifa.
RIP Jerry.

And Iran, and North Korea.

The book came out in 1985 (from looking on the Internet) but that was a common joke line we used in the ICBM business when I joined back in the 1970s.
