don’t think I have any Irish in me but I whole heartily agree!
.............then, Irag and Afghanistan and all that carnage to our military guys/gals could have been avoided..........
..........I think you left off Kabul and Karachi though!
A black stone, around the size of a football. I's kinda crumbling, so it's bound about with silver wire. It's placed inside a silver receptacle somewhat resembling an upright toilet seat, and the faithful lean in to kiss it.
The original one was probably a meteor, during its time it is said to have been replaced several times because of wear and tear.
This is what defines the muslims. They slaughtered the original owners and made it their totem.
Actually yes they have . It is why France no longer has military conscription .
The courts said that they could not give the weird beards special treatment with regard to I.Q. tests & religeon when it came to entrusting the nuclear arsenal as the weird beards were “presumed” to be honorable & loyal French men doing their civic duty via military conscription .
The French not being totally stupid did away with the draft rather than trust ali baba to guard a nuke.
resistance is few-tile
I would guess the pilot entrusted with this payload is feeling like a BSD right now.
Hopefully, it’s not some French muslim flying that plane.
I love the romance of it all. Release our rapist now Obama, the message’s been sent loud and clear!
And then perhaps there could be a semblance of peace in this world.
We prefer the American approach of carrying warheads around in 18-wheelers.
Sacre bleu!
Firing a tested one wouldn't make much sense.
I’m sure they’d be willing to “test” it, given the right circumstances/provocation. >PS
Nope. About the right size even for 1970's nuke design.
Ask me. Former NNSA/OST here.
I often watched SRAM’s being loaded/unloaded from B-52’s in the mid to late 70’s while working security in the AF. The SRAM, with a variable yield of 17 Kilotons (fission) to 210 Kilotons (tritium boosted fusion) were significantly larger than the missle under this French jet.
How are US missiles deployed on 18 wheelers. I thought MX was broken up long ago
The ASMP is longer than the SRAM but lesser in diameter and weight, using a newer ramjet system.
