From what; A-bomb, Kim Jong-un, Putin, school shooter, liberals...?

I'm at the end of that generation.
I was worried about going into a triple canopy jungle to fight the "Yellow Man"!

'For you were called to be free, brothers; only don’t use this freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but serve one another through love. For the entire law is fulfilled in one statement: Love your neighbor as yourself. But if you bite and devour one another, watch out, or you will be consumed by one another.'

Galatians 5:13-15

I always thought it was the silliest crap.......

Nah. In a very short time, the same liberals that insisted Trump be impeached for being to chummy with Russia, will be demanding that he cozy up to Russia to avoid war.

No need to look globally. The enemy lives within our borders.

I remember during the Cuban Missile Crises of 1962 They were telling us at school to be prepared for what might come.

I figure if they do launch, we are toast. We are less than 30 miles from the
Navy ‘s east coast Trident submarine base at King’s Bay GA.
The base is just below and to the left of the Cumberland River caption.

I remember the days of "atomic" drills, people building fallout shelters, etc.

At my age, if the big flash happens in the sky, I'm going out in the yard to embrace the warmth. It's a dry heat, after all.

Been near 18 year, me and some buddy's went out the St.Marys river out to the marker about 50 miles off shore....I have a old drill head my diver friends gave me....from that marker site....

Used to see the subs going in the river and turning north as we went into the river boat basin......it was NEAT seeing them on the 'surface'......

My BIL was a career submariner who’s last posting was base XO at Kings Bay
I have been on that base in places that civilians normally don’t go (but cleared to go with him). I have also been on board multiple subs over the years.
