And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Steve, there are 108 bombs in this bomb bay, The navigator and radar navigator would pull pins during their inspection of the loaded weapons. Trying to pull 108 pins at the hammer head would not work out well. Dave

@George Name the last country whose troops have stepped foot on the soil of these USoA in an act of war, please. What was the last country to declare war on these USoA? Was it Afghanistan? Was it Iraq? What is North Vietnam? Was is North Korea? I'm eager to hear your reply.

Do it in the BUFF!

ReplyDeleteFear of God right there.
ReplyDeleteIf one fell out but not on its' nose would it go off?
ReplyDeleteNo. They have to fall at speed for a certain distance before they're armed.
DeleteLOL, Given the number of duds they are still exploding in Europe and Vietnam always remember it was built by the lowest bidder.

An abomination. That thing and those bombs should never have been built.
ReplyDeleteOne new commandment I give unto you: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
I'm so sorry, Father. Please forgive us.
You do err. There is such a thing as a just war. We are permitted, required even, to defend our families and those who cannot defend themselves.
