Great journalism; dust off a guy from the 1970s (!) and get his 'insider's' view of how things are done today. Heck, I'd have gone for an interview with Gen Tibbet's on how things were done on the Enola Gay......

And may I ask that more recent knowledge about weapons handling be treated a bit more circumspectly in an open forum?
(Ok, I'll be going now...........)
