I mean isn’t that why immediately after using them we tried to enter the world into an agreement never to use them again? An agreement that Russia said “Nah” to and now everyone and their mama has nuclear potential?

Soviet actually had a higher tolerance before using nukes than American.

I.e. the situation that justified using them would have to be more severe for soviet, than for USA.

A situation that would let USA use nukes, would not let soviet use nukes.

I keep forgetting how ingrained sarcasm is in the Dutch culture. It borders on smarmy. Also funny note, my friends calls Dutch a "smurf language".

2

HappyCamperFTW t1_j9dqwmv wrote

Yeah that is true. The line between sarcasm, being insincere, and passive-aggressive can be pretty blurred. Hahaha, a smurf language. Is that because the smurfs are also pretty close to sea level? But I totally agree, I really don"t like the Dutch language tbh.

ds2316476 t1_j9dtowv wrote

A funny example, a response to not knowing an answer to a question is, "I know a lot" "Weet ik veel". It even translates in Google to I don't know haha. I like the Dutch language it's one of the only other languages I know fluently.

I'm not sure why they said that. Lol. Probably because the smurfs originated in the Netherlands.

They are designed to prevent the light from a nuclear blast from
reaching your retina and essentially binding you instantly. Nuclear
bombers have curtains that can be dropped to block out all the ambient
light. These goggles are used during take-off, landing, and re-fueling
where you need to use your naked eye to judge distance. At other times
the curtains are lowered and you are essentially flying on instruments.

Well, yeah, if you don’t notice until they’ve detonated on top of you, sure, but if you wait until that point there’s gonna be a lot more that is useless than just the goggles.

Former SAC B-52 Crewdawg here. (Electronic Warfare Officer/Navigator)

For a launch of the Alert Force, the Bombers and Tankers already fully loaded and fueled and armed (we referred to is as "cocked", as in cocking a pistol action), we were briefed to assume that we were in a race to beat the SLBMs to our bomber bases. . . The higher tensions got, the farther forward on the checklists we were, from running out from the alert facility and starting the engines, all the way up to sitting at the end of the runway with the engines going, waiting for the order. . .

So, yes, we expected nuclear explosions in the vicinity on takeoff. Even the guys in back ( EW Officer and Gunner) and the guys downstairs (Radar Navigator and Navigator) were supposed to don an eye patch as a last-ditch vision preservative. ..

Wow. It must be scary knowing that your plane was the harbinger of the apocalypse. If you were scrambled the world is changing forever. Who knows what would be left? If there would be something for you to return home to.

(resisting urge to link Tom Lehrer's 'Don't Cry Mom, I'm off to Drop the Bomb' )

We kind of assumed that we would get a sufficient radiation dose to kill us off within a month of the mission. They were all one way trips, with a supposed recovery base on the far side. None of us expected those bases to survive long enough for us to land there afterwards.

I will also note that the more cynical of us noted that there were never more than two bachelors per crew, giving a majority of the crew who had just had their wives and children nuked, and wanting revenge.

Er... No. Large fields of missiles out west and a lot at sea, but none in cities (or towns, or villages). Unless you're talking about some other country, but even then...

ok123jump t1_j9cnrdr wrote

You’re right. I never checked my buddy, but I did check city and county records for that site he was talking about and it is some sort of underground construction - very likely not a nuclear silo though. I’m going to delete that comment.

Don138 t1_j9c462o wrote

Do you have any sources for this besides “some guy told me”

Even if they wanted to put silos in every American city to increase potential casualties, which to be clear they ABSOLUTELY don’t. They would not be above ground on a rocky outcrop...

All of our silos are in largely uninhabited areas specifically to reduce potential casualties. Places like WY, the Dakotas, MT, etc. The only design considerations involving people is that they have to be decently close to a town in order to have places for the people involved in the infrastructure to live.

ok123jump t1_j9co2e2 wrote

You’re right. I never checked my buddy, but your comment got me wondering. So I did check the city and county for permits and records of the site. It is an underground construction of some sort, but it is not federal land and almost certainly not a nuclear silo. Used to be some sort of water storage, but it was renovated in the 1970’s to something else.

I’m going to delete that comment since it is clearly incorrect. Now I wonder what else he hold me was total bullshit…
