But now the only guard tower (at Fulda Gap)functions as part of a museum. As does the barbed wire. Job well-done, I'd say...Bring 'em home!
LOL! You will understand this then. I was shooting against some Germans and US Air Force at Sigmaringen in SW (West) Germany in 72 or 73. I found out the Air Force guys were from a unit that buzzed our missiles every afternoon. I asked them why the hell they did it, as it drove our commo people nuts. They said we were their primary target so the Russians wouldn't capture any of the nukes we couldn't fire before we were overrun!
Since then I always thought of the US Air Force as a bigger danger to the Army than the Russians! ;-)
