Back in the 80's, the techno existed to develope a
shoulder launched guided missile that could deliver
a kiloton explosion anywhere on the planet.
I asked Reagan and Gorbetrov if they wanted us to
develope that weapon, they said wait, cuz they did
not have the arm skills to regulate a policy to cover
that type of weapon., fair enough, the program is on
pause.

Spelling corrections:
develope =develop
Gorbetrov = Gorbachov
Ken = delusional

Were it not for the urgency of WW2, very likely turbo-
jet and nuclear developement would have taken a lot
longer. Eisenhower cautioned that weapons aquistion
ability was exceeding the political policy to deal with
the vastly expanded rate of killing.
Personally I liked IKE, and moreso Marshall, sure hope
this generation will spawn men of their ability.
Maybe a dash of common-sense at the right time.
