Well, Trump isn't the president, and he will never be the president.oldbeek wrote:Is Trump the most dangerous president we ever had? Lets talk John Kennedy. He took us to the brink of armogeden in 1962. True he was playing high stakes poker with the Russians but if this country knew the truth of how close we were they may be horrified. I was a young crew chief on a mobile maintenance team when we were put on stage 3 alert during the Cuban missile crisis. We had 12 Atlas ICBM missiles recently commisioned in the Salina Kansas area. The commander called us in and said Kennedy wanted every missile ready to shoot. I said, do we have to go by the book? His reply, Just make them ready to shoot. The Atlas system was a piece of crap. Our average for any day was 3 out of 12 ready to shoot. The all had computer logic problems. We loaded ten by jumping logic panels with jumper wires. The 11th was near Lindsborg Kansas. It was a mess. We loaded the 10 mega ton war head and firing explosives. The lift system that raises it out of the silo would not work we raised it manually. In the firing sequence we were 6 minutes into count down and only had a resume button to push to send it on its way. ( The resume button had a c-ration can taped over it with green duct tape) This is 6 minutes of sequence after the 2 launch officers were to turn their keys. We just jumpered that sequence at a logic panel. The missile already had a target locked in and was sitting out there on the prarie with oxygen boiling out of the blow off valve. All that was left was load the liquid oxygen and it was on its way. Back at the base they loaded so many bombers that the fleet of tankers could hardley keep them fueled and in the air. The bombers were B-47. They were all grounded because they had a problem with wings falling off. But they were loaded and put in the air anyway. I never told this story before because the operation was classified secret but Hillary changed my view of what secret means.
The example of the Cuban Missile Crisis beautifully illustrates why having a person who us steady at the helm is so vital.
Can you imagine Trump in that scenario? The man is temperamentally unfit for the office. He proves it daily.
Fortunately, Trump's campaign is collapsing. It deserves to.
