intel collection event.

And we can assume every NSA collection asset in theater was on "Sigint Alert."

Been on a few of those myself. Really satisfying results ----usually.

No, no.
It is how I came up with my “nom de plume,” on Free Republic!

I also was a B-52G pilot and enjoyed the spoof.
Col. Bat Guano, (ok I was a Capt.) shoots the Coke machine to get change for Mandrake to call the President..

One of the top 10 greatest movies of all time in my opinion.

OK, now I’ve got to watch Dr. Strangelove again.

Can somebody post the scene where Sterling Hayden tells Mandrake, “The Redcoats are coming”, and Mandrake (Peter Sellers) can’t get up from the couch because of “the string” in his leg. “Blast”, he says.

The detail in the cabin of the B52 is superb. I think the military were concerned it might have been too detailed.
