glad to see folks checking up on a deeply serious subject

Glad to see that there is someone else willing to make a statement regarding all this by posting this on the net. Funny the link from Aushwitz to trident concidering the links from the American administration now to the Nazi control back then. If only the American people could see that the elite in their own country is the true enemy (Nazi). Skull and bones, look it up, its Nazi and Bush is a member.

The essential difference between a law enforcement regime and war, is that war is indiscriminate. Its goal is to destroy a government by killing however many people necessary, by whatever means, usually aerial bombing, artillery and other indiscriminate weapons. For which it is impossible to limit the killing to the guilty parties, target persons, etc.

provide some basis for your statements, please. I do believe you are full of hot air.

One entire Trident sub with W-76 warheads = similar yield as ONE Mk-17 or ONE Mk-24 bomb. The Mk-41 bomb had a much larger yield than the entire Trident sub at 25MT. Our bombs were much stronger in the late 50's and the 60's. It's hard to scare people in to action by saying our largest bombs have become smaller by at least an order of magnitude.
