>>>>Most of the Cold War coporate knowledge has been lost on the last 13-14 years.

Want to know how much knowledge has been lost? Nothing is mentioned of it in school. It is not taught. I personally cold not even begin to explain what the cold war was.

I've tried reading up on it online; but most of what I find is badly written college essays.

I think NW_AZ_Granny has demonstrated this knowledge loss very well in finding that etext.org site.

Believe it or not, Cal, there are plenty of us Cold Warriors out here who are not all that old. Some are even in their late 30's and early 40's, yet they have impressive credentials of Cold War service.

Cold War history is a political hotplate. The left hates the fact we won, and the right put a lot of players on the plate to win. The history of the Cold War will probably be written by our grandkids because of this.

It was a lot more than "duck and cover". Belive me. We still have POWs unaccounted for from the Cold War, and we had losses of personnel, planes, etc during the course of the war.

There are so many similarities between this war and the Cold War that is is unreal, but this war has a different character and some adaptation would be needed.The biggest one is to take it seriously and not let Hollywood define it.
