re: #29 thedopefishlives

Kinda weird to think about, but 50 years ago, my town would probably be on DEFCON 1 at the current news, as a front-line anti-aircraft/anti-ICBM installation. The retirement of the Nike Hercules missile removed my town from the map of military installations.

My school for first grade (1962-1963) was right next to a Nike missile base. I think it was abandoned at the time. Not that it would made much difference — it probably still would have been a target for incoming ICBMs.

I’d prefer not to re-live those fears of imminent nuclear destruction, tyvm.
