Like alot of members here, I grew up during the Cold War years. The Berlin Wall came down about a month after I ended my 4 year enlistment in the Marines. Although the possibility of nuclear destruction is still with us, it just seemed a lot more probable when the Soviet Union was still around. Growing up with this seemingly real threat, I developed what some might describe(if I told them about it) as a morbid fascination with the nuclear weapon era and all things involved with it. If you are like minded or just curious about the cold war, here's a site that may interest you:

Just replace "Soviet Union" with [x]...
1. Iraq
2. Taliban
3. Al-Qaeda
4. Libya
5. Syria
6. China
7. North Korea
8. Iran
etc, etc, etc.

We're living a perpetual Cold War, with hot "conflicts" every decade since WWII. As far as I'm concerned, we were never in the path of nuclear war. But who's counting?

Thanks for the link, Fitz! This was fun to look at for a little bit. (work is slow today, lol)
