And I'm always amazed by how many otherwise intelligent people tend to presuppose, automatically, a certain always nefarious influence based upon the mere fact of a given relationship.

It's not a problem for those of us of higher intellect. You must be slipping in your dotage.

My biggest project at the proving ground was a still-super-secret non-nuclear weapon (not a bomb, not a gas or a poison, not biological) that would leave a vast area virtually uninhabitable far longer than any kind of a bomb would. Only four of us there were privy to all its technical aspects — source, composition, methods of deployment, target effects, etc — not even including the commandant of the proving ground. Some knew the details of this aspect, others of that aspect, etc, but the total knowledge of that weapon was severely compartmentalized. One of the four is no longer alive, and he may not be the only one who's gone.

Shortly after our proving-ground project was done, Carter alluded to it — but what he said about it sounded so fantastic that no public-reporting medium pricked-up their curiosity enough to dig into it. It was very privately rumored at the time that two or three contractor's employees had been quietly confined to federal prison for blabbing too much of what they knew.

So I really appreciate Einstein's prediction re World Wars Three and Four —

"What do you think that the next world war will be fought with?"

"I don't know. But I know what the one after that will be fought with."

"What's that?"

"Rocks."

I vote for Montana next June. It looks grim for the prairie dogs.

Not too worried about the Chicoms,their Navy suks,logistics for moving a million plus boots on the ground is no easy task and quite easily rectified these days with superior air power via
stand off weapons besides they wont bite the hand that feeds them.

The Ruskies know what tit for tat means and won't risk the consequences.

The Norks? Laughable at best with their commie teen in charge.The old guard is too intelligent to follow this psychopath into total annihilation and will take care of biz the old fashion way.

My # 1 choice the Middle East in defense of Israel.

Remember who we borrow money from to fund entitlements. China is investing in ships & will have a large Navy in the next 20 years as well as Air Force & space weapons. Obama has virtually abandoned space exploration & this is where future wars will be decided.

I've taken the liberty of labeling your choices to make a reply easier.

I believe it will be fought strictly for E but sold to the American public as B and C.

Kind of like US vs. Japan in WWII.......

We are pulling out of Afghanistan and the intelligence community is predicting great instability in the wake of the pullout. My guess is that we'll have to go back in and do it all over again.
