When bombers are flying around with nukes the crew doesn't even know are attached, and missile wings with their fingers on the button can't pass inspection, you have to know that the States are in the end game of independence from Britain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-84691326957415461032013-09-24T12:22:59.284-06:002013-09-24T12:22:59.284-06:00Those first two comments were dead on.
