To forgive is not SAC policy." I highly recommend it.<br /><br />Regarding the official SAC motto, however, I have to say that it was somewhat appropriate. After WWII Europe was at peace for a half-century or so, something that hasn't happened very often. We can thank all those ORIs, Team Spirits, and such for preventing WWIII, I think, if only for the reason that we all knew what would happen if the balloon went up. So far, there's never been a full-scale war between nuclear powers. Even India and Pakistan have calmed things down since the latter got nukes--in and of itself not something I'm happy about, but what can you do?Bruce Brewshttps://www.facebook.com/bruce.brews.5noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-92135963908551850772017-01-19T12:45:30.797-08:002017-01-19T12:45:30.797-08:00Bwahahahahaha!Bwahahahahaha!OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-61916714755001096982017-01-19T12:30:31.852-08:002017-01-19T12:30:31.852-08:00I could make a joke about stiff drinks...I could make a joke about stiff drinks...Tunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04930237104692982421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-42543577772059416182017-01-19T07:54:40.520-08:002017-01-19T07:54:40.520-08:00Well, they are up.
