Thanks for the history lesson RIO. I just did as I was told then and hid under my schooldesk. LOL. There was no King Arthur? YGBSM.

I agree. Everything you wrote about Jack and Camelot is true however he did finally show some spine that November. That is the only point I was making for the Lady.

Let’s not forget he got to “meet” Marilyn Monroe, too. LOL#2.

JFK wasn’t the JFK we hear about, either. It was his idea to offer up the Jupiter missiles in Turkey as a quid pro quo to Kruschev while he was sweating out the reply to his previous letter. For decades, we’ve been told that JFK made Nakita blink…not so.

There was the sellout of the guys at the Bay of Pigs. Jeez, at least have the decency to call off the invasion before it starts.

There was the whacking of the president of South Vietnam, because he wasn’t dancing to the puppet strings properly. Way to nurture our allies, Jack.

And when you look up ‘nepotism’ in the dictionary, there are pictures of the Kennedys and the Shrivers.

Appropriate name, the Camelot Administration…the original was a myth, too.

Re: warheads – Well, when you’re the same team who put together Tsar Bomba, and detuned it so it would “only” shatter existing records by about double instead of triple…

Marianne,

No Ma’am.

Precisely because Obama ain’t no JFK much as he wishes he were…Think 1962 as I am sure you already are….

I reckon the Monroe Doctrine is just another forgotten piece o’paper.

Does it make any of you well-informed warriors just a little bit nervous that Cuba has invited Russia to base some of their planes in Cuba? We were pretty worried about that many years ago when there was a Cold War going on. It seems too damn close to me, to have a possible nuclear missile there. Am I wrong to be nervous about this?

In the US Navy? Today? Sure, there’d probably be some repercussions, but don’t make the mistake of thinking they work the same way. This may very well be an authorized disclosure. A lot of their defense policy is set by people in uniform.
