Absolutely SO ! Thus the location of all of those Cold War ICBM Silos located out in the coyote-ugly plains of Eastern Wyoming ! They are *still there, and they are *still maintained !

A fascinating thing to me is that schoolchildren from the 1950s through the 1980s were relentlessly bombarded with propaganda about imminent nuclear war. Duck and Cover!

The USSR collapsed and it was as if a magician waved his wand and made the whole thing go away.

Some of the missiles got moved around. There are now new and better missiles. Nothing has really changed except the messaging.

I apologize, I am the master of thread drift.
