Davehrab..."INCOMMING" suggests that I am prepared for a violent reaction to my comment.
The fact that Ivan did not nuke you over the last few decades is due in no small part to the fact that the Fleet Balistic Missile program was an awesome deterent. My job was to guide the missile to an intended target, so that the destruction would not be "mass".
We had a story that we told new employees. In the USSR there is a missile base with weapons aimed at US cities. Five miles from the missile base is a school for Russian girls. It is filled with 18 year old blonde beauties. Our job is to make sure our missile hits the base, not the school.
In a larger sense, we always knew that if our systems were ever used, our program would have been a failure. Thank God we never had to launch one in anger.
That would have caused phono pickups to bounce off records for miles around. Terible!
