The more things change the more they stay the same.its just unfortunate that the USAF disbanded the Stratigic Air Command as a cost saving measure in 1992.SAC’s purpose in being was to launch effective long range nuclear attacks and to provide a deterant to other nuclear powers.
All we have today is the Air Force Strategic Command and its not even close to the capabilities that SAC presented during its period of operations.
SAC at the time was the most professional Command in the USAF.it had to be.The nations safety required it.
SAC predated the Air Force. It was a specified command under the DOD seperate from the Army Air Corp.

I believe the Navy has these big steel tubes called submarines that are deployed 24/7/365 that have nuclear tipped missiles in them. They are usually much closer to the threat than Louisiana or Nebraska. So it’s not the only thing that we have.
Agree ..... lived SAC at Kinchloe AFB with B-52’s, FB-111’s and KC-135’s then Davis Monthan AFB and McConnell AFB with Titan ICBM ..... SAC had they’re shit together 24/7 . If you were in the proximity of an alert crew on a bomber base and the klaxon went off you had better make a hole and get out of they’re way.....
