We used to joke and say after the war we’d call it Cheyenne Lake...
But I worked the MEBU, which stood for Missile (Warning) Essential Backup System... We acted as a graphics system for Missile Warning’s big screens. I’d actually start the scenarios for them from mag tape. I had a bank of small cathode ray tubes I had to monitor when they were doing scenarios...
I’d watch the missile and bomber tracks coming in from the Soviet Union and subs... All with real-time wind and weather data showing fallout patterns, time to impact, etc...
I really, truly believed it would happen someday. When the Soviets fell in 1991, I thought all of humanity had dodged a bullet...
Now under Biden, just damn it! Joe brought it all back!
You're right. The specter of Nuclear War's back... in spades - thanks to Joe and his incompetent Administration.. I have family that live in the equivalent of a Florida "Fort Repose" and will survive. For me - and most of the rest of the family we'll die quickly. I can see where you got your screen name from and why...
We are in a far, far worse position now under Biden and the Democrats and the war mongering MIC-bribed RINOs and Democrat representatives than we ever were back when I was there...
