Thanks for the translation, pontius. Interesting answers but some of the may as well be written in binary.

Some shocking reminders of just how dangerous the thinking was during Cold War. I appreciate that swapping a Wasp and a Subbie for a SSBN would be a good deal. As someone amusingly pointed out, at least the water would be warm...but two "Davy Crockett" nuclear strikes to support a company level advance? Their boots would have been glowing!
