Yours were tactical, while mine was strategic. The missile was over 100 ft tall. Did you make jokes about the Russians when you touched them? It was as if we couldn’t help ourselves, we did it every time. That’s weird.

I can’t even imagine. You must be a thankful man today that you never had to pull the trigger on one of those death wishes.

Russians and Chinese. I also remember jokes about countries like Afghanistan and Syria, and how super-heated sand would turn them into glass parking lots. And you are correct about our devices being tactical. I sometimes had like this ominous and foreboding kind of feeling whenever I was around them, knowing what they were capable of. They were truly the stuff nightmares are made of.

I went in at 17 and was on a crew at 18. I never would have hesitated to launch, and I believed every crew member wouldn’t as well. We were regularly evaluated by a psychiatrist. I can’t remember any conversation but I remember the gist of them.
Good morning, Robert. How are you doing?
Oh, I’m good Doctor.
I’m glad to hear that. Have you had any issues with your sleep or eating?
Nope, no problems there.
That’s good. How are things on your crew? Do you have any issues with any of them?
No, not at all. We all get along just fine.
That’s good to hear. So, you feel healthy both physically and psychologically? Do you feel sane and rational enough to kill every living thing in a 4 mile radius.
Sure, I got no problems with nuking those godless Russians.
Well, that’s great to hear. So, I’ll see you next month. Remember to eat three meals a day, you’re a bit thin for your height.
Ok, thanks, see ya next month.
There’s a good reason the young fight wars and it’s not their health.

In my state missiles are buried in corn silos. This came to light when drones were spotted flying over and checking them. So much for safe Midwestern life.

Sounds like something from the Mahabharata? Did I spell it right?

Would this be the reason a certain family member does not, will not pronounce the word Thai correctly? She’s been corrected by her sons and other family members including me more than once but insists on ordering Thigh food. How is it that we share the same DNA?

Yes. It’s a chapter out of the Mahabharata. TBH I had to consult Wikipedia to be sure.

Well, at least the Russians don’t view the Midwest as flyover states.
