"There no longer is a viable manned bomber force
maintained such as to take off on warning. There are
probably less than a dozen such bombers operational at any
time, and only a fraction of these, if any, ready to go."

I was in the Air Force in the 1970s, Minot AFB. SAC.
B52's on alert; uploaded with nukes ready to go. Tankers
on alert ready to fly somewhere to refuel B52's. I remember
those times working on those planes.

Now I wonder if even the land based missile force is functional.
I guess we can thank Obama and his Democrats along with all
of the collaborating, reach across the aisle Republicans.

I wonder about that too.
There is only one way to find out I suppose, and I dont want to find out.
