I first heard of the Nuclear Triad just after the Cuban Missile Crises, I was twelve.

Fifteen years later, I was a keyturner for one leg of that triad and played various roles in the operation of that triad for the rest of my career.

Over the last 20 years, not so many people know the term and that it was tied to the more commonly known term, nuclear deterrence.

I seriously doubt that the Rube knows much more of the specifics than just the term that is related to nuclear deterrence.

The strength of current version of that triad is fading quickly thanks to Clinton, Bush, and the muslim dictator while the Russians are rebuilding their version.

Prepare for a flash traffic in two parts...

Thank you for your service and stewardship of the weapons under your watchful eye.

I don't know what to be more impressed with, the fact that the term "nuclear triad" was readily used in 1963-4 given that nuclear SSBNs were only operational for about 2 years prior, or that at age 12, the term stayed with you all these years.

Regardless, "nuclear triad" is not a term bandied about that frequently today. It's almost passé in the modern lexicon. While I'm not attempting to defend Trump, I'll bet he's heard of SSBN submarines, B-1 and B-2 bombers, and land-launched cruise missiles.

What we need in a President is not someone well-versed in every little piece of trivia. We need someone with solid conservative principals, who knows how to surround themselves with bright people that can explain things when needed. We need an executive.
