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! ;-)
The Pershings won the cold war, canned the Soviet Union, and exposed the total innanity of the worldwide perennial lefty protest life style/ personality disorder. We owe you for that, and to Reagan who put you and the missles there. And now we're done.
A most unpleasant spectacle. Glad it never came to that. Those of us east of Rhine River and those in particular that were near the Iron Curtain, were essentially "speed-bumps." Unmatched in man-power, arty, and tanks. But we won the peace...

I was in Air defense Artillary the air force always considered us a bigger threat than the enemy.They just couldn't get over the idea that an army private with stinger missle could bring down thier multi million dollar aircraft and ruin thier whole day.I enjoyed pointing out to them that thier friendly fire record was no where near as good as ours.
