Like so many other things, they scared the crap out of me. We knew when and where not to be. Once we were just a few klicks on the other side of a ridge. You could just catch a small glint in the sky, then the ground shook, and massive thunder.

Called Arclight.

I was up on the DMZ and saw, felt, and smelled many a B52 strike. Awesome and terrifying.
How anyone could survive one is beyond me.

Our nation is bankrupt & we should fight any more wars unless we are attacked.

The battleship of the skies. Fill it up with whatever is the latest in weaponry to drop on the enemy.

A hundred years from now we’ll be putting anti-matter engines on the last half dozen B-52s so we can bomb Chinese bases on the moon.
