I saw General Jack Keane on one of the morning shows a couple of months ago when this new round of NK provocations was just starting up. He said the first thing we need to do is to 'shoot down those damned NK satellites.' He was pretty animated about it.

I'm reading "One Second After' now. I put it down this weekend after the first 150 pages. It was ruining my weekend.

Believe it or not, I brought that book with me on a vacation (!) a few years ago. Talk about catching up on your reading, yikes.

But try to buck up and finish it, because there is important info in it. There are a couple of parts that will make you cry, fair warning.

Also, if you go over to Amazon, in the reviews section, you’ll find a chat-type feature. From time to time, the author of the book himself engages with people who want to discuss it, even answering questions.

I read that book. Dana1960 is right, lots of good ideas, just in case. Another set of books by A. American is a great series for understanding what shortfalls we’d have and the psychologic aspects.

And remember to buy paper copies, or put your kindle/ereader in a mylar bag. FReegards

Yup, it's a real eye opener. Every American should read this book. After readings it a few years ago, I bought five copies and sent them to family members and close friends.

I read “One second After” a few months ago. A very tough read.

I would rather be vaporized instantly than to go through that hell.

I remember when we had a successful ASAT weapon test. Then it disappeared. Or did it?

Of course, now we have new ASAT capabilities since long ago.
