I just want to say that you crack me up even when you are being righteously pissed off, and I appreciate that in an AuthorGuy.
Anyway, quite some time ago, before I was an old married lady with kids, I dated a guy whose JOB it was to sit in a silo in a very flat part of our country and WATCH THE WARHEADS. It really wasn't a very interesting job, but, it seemed pretty important.
And he was really a very bright guy, I mean, smart. Not stupid by a long shot. But, then, somebody in the US military got it into their heads that there were too many intelligent guys sitting around watching warheads in the greater US midwest, and they shipped him and his compatriots off to somewhere else to learn how to shoot stuff out of the sky with surface to air missiles or something. (And I decided I'd rather be married to a science teacher than a guy who shoots stuff down, so, go figure.)
At any rate, as you have already determined, the guys who weren't idiots, who WERE watching the warheads...aren't so much doing that anymore....Scary, isn't it?
