Thanks! Marv 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.

Ken Actually, this explains a great deal. Peter 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. Ken |
