“We’re going to use nine megaton warheads in space and we’re not sure they’re large enough to be effective. Why would you even consider using kiloton-range surface-to-air warheads as back-up?” The answer was succinct. “Because they’re all we have.”
I am a retired arbitrator/mediator with 25 years experience working with the homeless and the mentally ill. I am an advocate for them in getting SS and VA benefits, ID and etc.
