And you know nothing of what I did. I was an aviation antisubmarine
warfare technician, it was my job, if war came, to help hunt down and
kill Soviet subs with 200 people inside befire they could launch nukes
that could kill 20 million. I see a clear parallel to conventional pre-
emptive regime change in Iraq; the same kind cost-benefit analysis
lopsided difference in deaths consequient upon acting vs. not acting
applies.
